I use to tell everyone I would only buy a FordPass truck. Now I tell everyone I would never buy another ford. We have a 2019 ford f159 truck and had to put a new transmission in it $7000.00. Now a week later we have to replace the computer that runs the radio, $1700.00. A total of $8,700.00 and still make a payment. My 2006 Toyota Sequoia is still running , never have I had to spend that kind of money on it. I will be buying another Toyota.

Besides taking literally longer to make my truck than it takes to make a human being (9.5 months). The Ford motor company also refused to stand by their original price for my truck. At the time of closing on the purchase I was informed that Ford had raised the price of my truck in the intervening 9.5 months by 500$ and I had to pay that extra money! I would be reimbursed for the difference in about 6 weeks. So I was forced to make a 500$ interest free loan TO Ford Motor! When those six weeks passed I was informed that it would take ANOTHER six weeks for Ford Motor to send me the check. So now I am giving "The Ford Motor Company" a 3 month interest free loan! I love my truck, but Ford Motor is a sack of stinking trash, no wonder their customer loyalty is so low.

While traveling with 2021-Ford 250 factory equipped to tow a motor home, the fuel pump faulted, Ford is very aware of this defect but knowingly sold us the truck. We were stranded in Canada in a camp ground because and it took Ford 21 days to repair under warranty. They would not cover the rental or car or provide us with a truck equipped to transport our motorhome. Upon the completion of the warranty work, we went to pick up and the radiator's fluid emptied out on the ground. Another 3 days stranded. NOW THE PROBLEM IS THAT FORD WILL NOT REIMBURSE US FOR THE EXPENSES INCURRED WHILE THEY SLOWLY AND INCOMPETENTLY TRIED TO FIX THE NEW TRUCK. We have been Ford owners for years and this experience has made us think long and hard on the declining product and the low grade customer service we have received. This is an unfortunate situation that has gone from bad to despicable from and does not live up to their company mission statement “ Ford is a family company and we stand together even when times are tough. For 118 years our values have driven us to do the right thing and be there for one another.” This has proven to be false advertising.

I have a 2016 F-350 Larita with only 52000 miles, and I am now on the 3rd turbo. This issue began in 2020 when the truck had less than 30k miles. This truck was purchased to primarily haul my Living Quarter Horse trailer for weekends and for the first 3 ½ years preformed good. However, at about 30k miles the truck would randomly go into a “Limp/power reduction mode” when accelerating between 2nd and 3rd gears, which would leave me and my family in dangerous situations at times. After about a year, and 5 trips to the Ford dealership they finally got Ford to agree to put a new turbo on the truck in September of 2021 and luckily it was still under warranty. Now fast forward 2 1/2 years and 20k miles later and once again the truck went into “Limp/power reduction mode” while out of town. The local mechanic told me that it would need a new Turbo, to which I replied, it just had a new turbo installed less than 20k miles ago. The mechanic reset the computer and did a few small things and sent us home without issue. However, over the next 6 months, the truck would again randomly go into “Limp/power reduction mode”. Since the truck was now out of warranty and still only had 20k miles on the new turbo, no one (including myself) wanted to believe it could be another turbo. However, I finally was able to get the truck to code while close to my dealership and they did confirm it needed yet another turbo. This was over $3,000.00 dollar repair even after my dealership discounted the installation labor 30%. I asked what could possibly cause a truck with 50,000 miles to already be on the 3rd turbo?? I was told “You need to drive it more”…… I asked how that could possibly be a reason, and I was told that since I only use it to tow that I needed more regular road hours. I found this hard to believe but had little choice but to pay and leave. I have contacted 3 different people at Ford and have been told that since the part is over 2 years old the milage on the part makes no difference. Ford informed me to contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and file a complaint. If the NHTSA finds reasonable support to this issue, then and only then will Ford look into helping with my issue. In short, I believe that I have now owned my LAST Ford truck.

This is the worst company ever to get a car from I went through so much was over charged from the price advertised and what we agreed on so when I mentioned it when calling back the guy literally had a not bad but horrible attitude talked to me like I was nobody si they definitely don’t value customers but on top of all that, the seller stole from me off the vehicle I was purchasing they told me they would reach out to him to find out what he did with it, I waited a few days then I called back just to be given the run around but I found out that he was eventually fired because it happened to several people including myself and although they are responsible for their employees and they were aware of these complaints the problem was not rectified because they weren’t concerned, I went through so much to get them to fix a part that I was told would be covered under the additional warranty I purchased which in pitching his sales he said it covers bumper to bumper damage and coverage for an additional two thousand and something dollars and after having the vehicle a couple months the inside panel from both the driver and passenger door started disconnecting they said it didn’t cover it but at the same time I only had the vehicle a couple of months. I reached out to one of the owners of the dealership by email and asked him to please contact me as I had recently purchased a vehicle from the dealership where he’s part owner and I would like to talk with him and he never responded i know it was his correct information because he was in there the same day passing out cards saying if we have a problem to contact him directly I guess it’s all apart of the scheme but then to top off all that there’s a recall on a part on the vehicle now my truck was at the Ford place in Tallahassee Florida at the time because the tail lights had went out, I got an oil change and alignment they didn’t bother with the recall I live in Georgia so I took it to the Ford dealer their to address the recall and the one guy looking at the computer asked the other guy what to do and while I’m standing there he says well you print it out and stable something but anyway he says but if our guy doesn’t want to do it we’re not gonna do it I was shocked I mean snobbish but in front of the customer but if it was something I was paying for it wouldn’t be an issue then I called Ford Motor Company at the (800) to let them know about the experiences I had because if it’s a recall it’s a requirement and deemed as something serious so how can I go about this I don’t want to be driving and something goes wrong and I get injured he replied find a dealer who is willing to do it so I says that’s why I called it says you call call Ford for help because these two refuse to fix it, he replied they can pick and choose if they want to do it or not so I said sir so you’re saying even though it’s a recall they still don’t have to do it he said no so you just have to keep checking until you find somebody who will.

I think this maybe the worst experience I have ever had with a company. The dealership Bailey Ford (GM Andrew Bailey) was rude, the two representatives from ford pass were rude. I was told because I did not buy my truck from their dealership then I was not a priority even though I bought a Ford. When the first representative I spoke with at Ford Pass didn’t want to help no more she hung up, when I called back the next one said she doesn’t want to talk so I will do it from here asking me to explain all over again. The whole reason for calling them is the problem is all the screens went black in the truck not allowing me to operate the vehicle safely. I would stay away from Bailey Ford of Plattsburgh NY and Ford Pass customer solutions department.

If I could rate 0 I would. I have had nothing but issues with my 2014 Ford Focus since I purchased it. I purchased my 2014 Ford Focus back in 2019. In 2020 I received a letter in the mail about a recall on the Transmission Control Module (TCM). I immediately contacted ford about this and got my car in to be diagnosed. They diagnosed it and told me that it was in fact the TCM but unfortunately due to COVID they have a major shortage and it is on back order. SO instead of fixing it, they "reset it" and sent me on my way. My car continued to have issues; shuttering when I would drive. So I took it back to them where they tried to tell me that it was not the issue; that there was nothing wrong with my car. I continuously called for 3 years trying to get this fixed while being told they did not have the part and they would call when they did. No call ever came...shocker. Fast forward to July of 2024. Surprise, Surprise my car stopped accelerating while I was driving. I assessed it with a code reader to diagnose that it was in fact the TCM. I contacted Ford and they told me to have it towed and they would diagnose it. I did just that while using the TOW service through ford in order to get a reimbursement. I had my car towed to Ford and they diagnosed (it was the TCM) and repaired it in about 2 days and returned to me at no cost and covered due to the recall. (This is the only good thing that happened). Meanwhile I filed a claim for reimbursement for the TOW. IT was denied. They claim my recall and warranty is expired. I explained to them that It is only expired because the dealership kept turning me away and telling me they did not have the part. They let me drive this car in an extremely unsafe condition for 3 years knowing it would very likely go out. I considered filing a law suit and decided it wasn't worth my time and mental health over a $150 TOW but I will never buy another Ford and I would recommend to anyone to not purchase one either. I realized that pretty much all car company's have a recall from time to time but Ford has provided the worst customer service I have EVER experienced. Not to mention when I did look into this I talked to 5 different departments. That is incredibly uncalled for. My specific experience was with Oxmoor Ford in Louisville KY but my dissatisfaction is mostly wit Ford Motor Company as a whole.

Know that when you buy a Ford there will be a recall and your Ford dealership is really not ford but independently owned and will not cover your rental car when they want to keep it for a week on there recall and if you are having problems with your new car or truck you will pay for them to look at it and it will take a week for them to get to it!! Also a regular oil change and tire rotation $185 is a rip off..... I have electrical issues in my wife's 2021 F150 they won't take responsibility for it and want us to pay also your sencors on your vehicle are courtesy and when your electrical goes out bummer is what I was told!! We own 2 F150 and will not be buying a Ford anymore

My 2020 Ford Explorer started leaking transmission fluid out of the transmission cooler turns out it’s not covered under powertrain warranty because their computers don’t specify that it’s a transmission cooler just “a cooler” so there’s nothing they can do about it. Even tho the dealership has to add transmission fluid and wrote in there notes it is the tany-cooler leaking. Also fun fact there was a huge recall for the trans coolers leaking but because mine was not made at a specific plant they cant do anything about it. Also when u ask ford service any question they dont want to answer they just say sorry we are not trained to answer that and before i could ask for a supervisor she let me know that anyone above her would have the same answer for me because they all have the same system. This was my first new ford i bought and my last! 👌 if i have to work on them myself i will go back to buying my junkers.

This is a very long story we started back on 12/1/24 when the car was towed into Ford dealership at Newstead for a transmission fix (on the warranty and a well known problem with this type of Fiesta) the car was in repair for approximately 3 weeks after I chased up the car due to no courtesy car being offered we finally got the car back After the second time of driving the car was doing exactly the same issue another tow needed this time costing $250 The car went back to the repair garage at ford Newstead this time I asked for a courtesy car and was granted one I made it my business to call every two weeks to chase up the progress of the car On the 19/6 out of the blue I received a text saying “your car is ready to collect please collect asap -I went in to collect the car only to be told “that text shouldn’t of been sent out we haven’t even looked at the car yet? On 6/6/24 some five months later with no call backs and being told over and over again “the service manager will call you back” I didn’t get a call back I contacted Ford head office complaints department a few days later someone emailed me to say “she couldn’t call me as she had no voice” but she would “look into It” after six emails telling me “we’re trying to sort this out for you” last one received 24/6 I was still no further forward? On 16/7 I received a call to say it’s not the transmission it’s a spark plug problem and it would cost between $2500 and $3500 to fix When I explained the history he said (Don the 2ic) said to be honest we’re cleaning up a mess here we're all brand new and quite frankly we didn’t even know your car was here? We’re just working through the issues I was left exasperated after almost 7 months to be told it would cost a serious amount of money regarding a problem that I hadn’t even heard about the whole time? he then told me “the cars probably not even worth it” you’d get more for scrap Really? To ford I’m obviously nothing at all I’m not even worth a follow up call in over 6 months ..Will I ever buy Ford again No Way! Will I tell everyone about my disgusting service? Yes I will People have told me to write to the motor vehicle ombudsman for some help which I am going to do I’m hoping that my review will help to educate others who may be considering to use or buy from this dealership “Ford dealership at Newstead” my advice to you is Please Don’t! The review I wrote is not even worth a 1 star rating it’s simply disappointing and unacceptable service I’m a very sad and unhappy customer

2020 Ford Explore hit 100,000 miles, had transmission serviced and within no time I am now having to replace the transmission which is ridiculous to me, no older than this vehicle is. I have drove Ford since 1991 and would recommend to anyone but not anymore. First one I have ever had to give me this much trouble.

My Ford Ecospotrs purchased on January 2020. On 2021 Summer season air-conditioning was weak so I visited Woodside NY Koppel dealer for refill refrigerant then they rejected and advised to go Originally purchased your vehicle. Next year Summer season, I visited to originally purchased Cityworld Ford Dealer Bronx NY. For 9 days just parking then, we couldn't find any problems like compressor so move your vehicle. Now, 3 years of bumper to bumper expired then "we find out problems but you pay the diagnose fees." Rear noise like squeak sound, furthermore, the worst thing that Brkake pad requested to repair then costs for $40,00 over the phone then I agreed for $49 00. Then surprisingly Brkake 4 Rotors replacement costs for$1,600.00.Then, I rejected to pay in full then, negotiated down to $1,000.00. It was "Bait & Switch Advertising Act". AWFUL EXPERIENCE!

I bought a night a 2024 Ford F350 lariat I was on the way to Vegas in the middle of the desert. AC went out. The rear tail lights went out. I went to the dealership in Vegas. They told me that this is an ongoing thing and they have no parts to help me Bought the truck five days prior had 400 miles on it. The dealership knew this was going on and they still sold the truck. My business is losing thousands of dollars so if anybody’s plan on buying any Ford super duty, I wouldn’t there’s problems with them there’s gaps in the bed Electronics aren’t working like they’re supposed to. There’s a lot of problems with them!

In July 2021 we bought the new Ford Explorer ST thinking this was the SUV of our dreams but it turned out to be a nightmare because with 12k miles it started to make some noises, one directly from the engine and another that until today they couldn't find, so they opened the engine and changed CAM PHASERS AND OIL PUMP so we didn't make any report trying to change it I sold it back, now in 2024 and with 30k miles this happened another time so for the 2nd time they were opening the engine this time I decided to claim with Ford Moto to by back or replacement, as this car is not a cheap car but this is being a problem because they say I should have done it the first time at over 18 months or 18kmiles. I explained everything to them and they simply asked me to call Better business and dispute there to complete it They replaced the part for the second time and when the mechanic went to do the test drive he saw that the part that was replaced was defective and now this part is back order and there is no forecast for delivery. In short, if the BBB does nothing we will be with an expensive 30k miles car with on it and engine historic condition that has already been opened 3 times So disappointed with Ford customer service

I bought a 2013 Ford Explorer base model, the build date is six of 2012 and Ford cannot find or locate a rack opinion steering Electric no power assist parking. And if they can find it when they say they can't. It will cost me over $2,000 but they can't find one. My vehicle is more or less junk, it's a beautiful vehicle but it's junk. Can't drive it because the steering wheel is locked up due to the gearbox is frozed up. It almost cost me to have a head-on collision with a semi because I couldn't completely make my left turn. It's been down for a while and Ford will not help me I'm getting this fixed so I can drive it again. Ford does not care, they want you to spend your money on something that they cannot get fixed and it will be over five grand if they can locate something. My vehicle only have a 3-month window on manufacturing date because they did not put no more of these ones in you too they found out they f***** up. And they know it. Please do not buy a Ford. They don't stand by their work or parts. They don't care as long as their owners president Incorporation makes their money. Ford offered me $2,000 to buy my vehicle the way it sits. And it's worth $15,000. Once again do not buy Ford they don't care about you only your money. Anybody wants to call me out on this. You can get in touch with me.

WARNING!!!! If you purchase a BlueCruise subscription or your vehicle includes a prepaid 3 year subscription to Ford BlueCruise, you will NOT receive any refund from Ford if the vehicle is sold before the subscription is over, if the vehicle is damaged for a loss, or if BlueCruise does not work. Ford has terrible customer service per reviews and by JD Power surveys. They have terrible quality control and really don’t care about current customers or retaining current customers. This is particularly true for their MachE and Lightening vehicles.
