Im giving a bad review for this dealership for a few reasons: I ordered the car for my daughter back in August as a 2021 Mustang Mach-E, the estimated delivery date was December 2021. However, I received an email that they were delaying my car to a 2022, up-charging me and I wouldn't receive the car until April 2022. In October I got in contact with the dealership to ensure that they wouldn't add any extra charges on my car and my daughter signed an invoice saying the total price would be $55,610. When the car arrived, the salesman Eric gave me a new invoice listing a new price, 2K on top of what I originally signed for. When I asked him why he added a 2K charge, he responded rudely and said "you don't have to buy the car" after waiting about 8 months for the car. He kept repeating the same line, "you can walk out without the car", "we will sell it to someone else", "You can leave the car", which all of this is very rude and should not be said to a paying customer. He had no explanation and no fix for why the 2K was added onto my invoice. I asked him what the purpose of signing the invoice was he said it had no purpose. They didn't honor the price we had agreed on in October 2021. Another reason I am writing a bad review, when I was ordering the car I accidentally put the front license plate, however, I called the dealer to change the setting and they ensured me that the license plate would be removed and the car would arrive without the holes. The car arrived with the license plate attached and the only thing they could say was "Oh I'm sorry". They are not honest and I got scammed by them. When I called the sales man, he tried to cover up his dishonesty and nothing was achieved. My advice, that don’t go to that dealer unless you want to get scammed.

I have been with Ford for over 15 years. I have leased all our rvs, leased cars when we travel across the world, and my own personal car has been leased for over 15 years. We are dealing with east court ford lincoln in scarborough,, Ontario Canada. We have come to the end of our current lease ,and we went in a few months ago to renew our lease with them. We got our new bill of sale. Today we called in to ask for a copy of my existing bill of sale. The sales representative Sammy makhzani blatantly outright said he was not going to give it to us. (In his mind he thought he could pull a fast one on us and make money by selling it himself.). This is extortion, blackmail, and thought he could bully us. So we told him it isn't legally right and blatantly fraud if he didn't give us our bill of sale. He then proceeded to blackmail me and asked me to sign a document or send an email stating that i agree to pay an additional 2000 dollars more to our new leased car that would come to us in May or he will not give us our bill of sale. We have recorded our conversations with him. Now we know what people mean when they talk about sleepy car salesmen. I can say I have now experienced it. I have left numerous messages with the manager of ford. We have called Ford Canada and there has been no one that has gotten back to us. We also called the finance manager and the senior manager Prince sibal who hung up on us because we told him what had happened and we also mentioned to him that we wanted to sell it directly to a car dealer and he said we can't do that, and thats the policy. We asked him where in the policy is that stated and he hung up.. But we called the leasing company and they said they said it's very straight forward and they should be able to do that and all dealerships are aware of that. This has been the worst experience we have had. This has left such a disgusting taste in our mouth. I definitely will never go back ever again to ford. I will also make sure I let every single person I come across the fraudulent and shady sleezy experience I've had. I am going to make sure this is looked into.

Ford BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTYdoes not EXIST! I own a 2020 Ford Escape Titanium Awd that I purchased new and FORD will not honor their WARRANTY, to fix my sagging drivers seat. I have contacted Ford Customer care team and they claim it is not under Warranty? I have left a review ON FORD'S WEBSITE and still no RESPONSE. Sorry I ever bought a Ford!

On March 21 2021, I purchased a new Ford Escape Titanium Awd and less than a year the driver seat bottom is sagging. I returned it to the purchasing dealership Lafayette Ford in Fayetteville NC. I was informed that this was common case for the seat bottom as it's related to the material used in the seats, Ford will not honor their BUMPER to Bumper Warranty for this! I contacted FORD'S customer care and opened a claim, they never responded to me personally. I think it's a shame that FORD can refuse to honor their WARRANTY just so they can MAXIMIZE THEIR PROFIT! The CEO of FORD Mr Farley has made it clear that the WARRANTY is costing FORD'S it's BOTTOM LINE, and he wants it to STOP! FORD states that CUSTOMER SATISFACTION is IMPORTANT, yet they will not HONOR THEIR WARRANTY! Why buy a FORD, if their goal is to take your money and then DISRESPECT YOU AS THE CUSTOMER? Beware of FORD and the LIE that there is a Bumper to Bumper Warranty! It's not there, I know as I own a FORD!

Bought a new 2020 FORD escape titanium awd on March 21 2021, and less tan 11 months driver seat bottom is sagging! Yes I am actually sitting in a hole while driving this Escape! Took it back to dealership where purchased and was told by a Ford technician that's expected characteristics of material used in the seat. I didn't pay $35000 to sit in a hole while driving. I contacted Ford Customer care and was told FORD will not help me. FORD'S BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY COVERAGE should cover this 3 years 36000 miles! I have read that FORD'S BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY is costing FORD'S BOTTOM LINE, PROFITS. If FORD quit using substandard material in their products they wouldn't have claims that cost their bottom line! I want my seat replaced! It's under warranty!

I just purchased my 2019 ford explorer in july 2021. Around January 2022 a tear developed in the drivers seat, right in a crease. Needless to say, i spent $36,000 on this car i expect the leather to last linger than 6 months. I spent a month and a half getting the run around by ford customer care center. I had a terrible experience with Poage Ford in Bowling Green Mo, they tried to say it was a puncture. I don't wear things that would puncture leather. Then agreed to give a 15% discount to fix, reminding me they didn't have to do anything. Im a social worker that works out of my car, i put a lot of miles on a car. I really hoped to have this vehicle around another 10 years like i did my jeep but it's not starting out that way. Ford customer care decided after a monyh and as half run around and getting a second opinion by another dealership (that said it wasn't a puncture) that they could not help me. Just a warning fords leather is cheap snd will not last and they don't care. Just a warning. I will never buy a ford again nor will i get leather seats.

I have a small company and have a 19 plate Ford Ranger and 3x 18 plate Transits, and have tried to keep my loyalty to Ford. Had a service with my local Ford dealer who advised me that there was a small oil leak on the engine, but they didnt tell me where. I asked why they did not find out approximately where this leak was while up on the ramp, but was told this 2 minute investigation was not part of the work schedule. Helpful. Whilst having tyres changed elsewhere i was advised the leak was from the rear crank main seal, and should not break. I asked Ford on the phone if this was covered under warranty they advised it was so i took it in for work. They called me later and confirmed it was the seal and not covered under warranty as I had more than 62000 miles on the clock, something they already knew from the reg and service?? I then asked why had i been told to waste my time bringing it in which I have now lost 2 days on without a vehicle I use for work. Following up with conversations to the head office I was given the Billy Big B brush off. I was warned about Fords after sales treatment All my vehicles are up for replacement this year??? UM

I am not one to complain nor post much especially reviews. When it comes to my children's safety i have something to say. Called Ford this morning apparently, they don't care to investigate why the airbags in my FORD FOCUS did not deploy. I had the officer, nurses and doctors ask the same question. My son was driving my car when he was hit on the driver side front. The impact was hard it swung the FORD FOCUS 90 degrees in the opposite direction. I am Blessed to have my son alive although we spent the day in the hospital till late night due to concussion and several points of impact especially since he did not have the airbags to lessen the impact. Needless to say, after 20+ years of owning and blindly believing in the safety ratings FORD claims to have i am taking my business elsewhere. Of course, they are not allowing me to add pictures as they say a picture is worth a million words. Just wanted to share my unfortunate experience with our FORD FOCUS hope this can help someone whom is looking to purchase a FORD vehicle.

I have patronized Ford for 40 years, but no more. When my car's rear safety assistance setting was off since I had taken my car to dealership, I ended up hitting a tree, because no alert went off, they don't respond or take responsibility. Good bye Ford.

My car was called back over erg . I had no recall letter . I was putting excessive fuel in my car . Yet my complaint is being ignored as I had headaches yet firs will not talk to me due to it been Saftey matter . Contact your insurance. My insurance Complaint told me it’s a warrant issue. The case Magee at fords is called Penny whynskey . Awful treatment fundamentally the criteria is flawed

I purchased a ford f-150 about 3 weeks ago. I call my sales person back a couple days after purchase about a whining in the truck. took it in today and they give me a letter from ford about a whining in the transmission 10R80. I was told there is nothing they can do about this. well Ford this UNACCEPTABLE. your people at Hardy ford in Dallas Ga. knew about this proplem but did not share this with me. I fully expect ford to make this right. this is no way to do business.

I bought my Ford tourneo custom 8 seater titanium X on the 28 December 2018 costing £40000, I bought it through finance putting a deposit of £15000, after less than a year I started getting problems with the gear box send it to them, they just rest the management light and gave it back to me, after few weeks once you go over 40 miles per hour few light come on and it reduces the speed. I took it to ford the took 2 weeks to diagnosed the problem at the end they had to change the gearbox Millage at that time was around 45000 . So it took them all 3 weeks before they gave me back the car. I told them am a taxi driver and I need a car to work but they completely didn’t care. That was last year. This year in February I had to change the alternator. And last Friday I found that my battery is overheating and smoke was coming out, call all ford dealer garage the nearest appointment I got is on the 25 of October which means am out of work for 2 weekends. Nobody cares about your lost of income even your van is still on warranty. During lock down Ford finance was calling every other day threatening to seize the van. My wife had to sell her jewellery to pay off the finance. All I can say never buy a car from Ford specifically if you are using it for work purpose. Unreliable vehicles Poor customer service Poor after sale service Very disappointed with FORD

DETAILS OF COMPLAINT 1. My son bought this car being his 1st purchase of a vehicle from a dealership because I need a car 2. The service from the salesperson was excellent 3. The car howwever had way too many problems since the beginning 4. Since purchasing the vehicle, due to the pandemic whilst still discussing the paperwork we went into lockdown 5. My husband Mr K.M. Reddy struggled with uncontrollable seizures during the lockdown 6. My son Nathan Reddy was Covid positive 7. I took the strain and struggled emotionally 8. The car has been heating up badly since purchase and no lights were visible on the dashboard. 9. We had to change the coolant bottle 10. I took the car in for service on 6 March 2021 when Palesa advised that the service had expired and on the same day my husband took violently ill yet again at the dealership when I had to rush him out without making further enquiries 11. In June I took the car in and discussed in length with Robert Nunes the DP for Mazda/Isuzu from whom the vehicle was purchased from although he sounded very promising and could not assist me and kept me waiting for a long time as I had to make the effort to call him and visit him. 12. This added to my stress and financial burden 13. Andrew Weilson the DP for Ford who is attending to the service/repairs was accomodating and advised that he will assist until my last encounter with him together with my son when he stated that he was rather busy and abruptly requested that we leave. We left shaken and traumatized from his behavior 14. Over the years I have driven 2nd hand cars bought from individuals that lasted a long time even after I resold them. 15. This being my 23-year-old son at the time of purchase first used car from a dealership with so many mechanical problems, I am beginning to question the credibility of the road worthy report especially since the vehicle was not used that often due to lockdown and has left him devastated and probably no faith in these dealerships 16. We have incurred unnecessary expenses since purchasing this vehicle

I am saddened that I had to give such a low review regarding Al-Spitzer but the way I was treated was very disappointing! Told by my local mechanic the issue with my car was from a reason of 2015 Ford Focus Recall. I was told that Ford would need to fix with no charge due to the recall. Knowing my title was a salvaged title, I asked my local mechanic did that matter and I was told "No" they still have to repair. I set appointment with Al-Spitzer on September 9th and dropped off my car. I receive a phone call from Ford Service employee to be told yes the car does have issues due to the reasons of the recall....BUT they can't repair because my title was salvaged. (My car was in an accident before I purchased and man completely rebuilt the car) I said I don't understand my local mechanic told me to bring to you and it didn't matter it should be fixed. AL-Spitzer employee then starts going over "MY BILL" I said bill for what? He said "well we still looked at your car and told you what was wrong." I said, yes but why would you have them still look at my car if you knew right off the bat that it was a salvaged title and you couldn't work on it? He stated "well we assumed you would want us to look at it." I was in shock, you "assumed?" why did you not call me and ask me first then. He was very dismissive and proceeded to demand payment. I am speechless that a company would be so disgraceful to take customers money so underhanded. I am still trying to find out how my title being salvaged that my car does not deserved to be repaired with the recall. I was told it needed to be a "safety recall" before they would repair it, well I have read the recall guidelines and it states with this issue in the car, it can leak transmission fluid and even catch fire. So the fact that any of this can happen my car should be repaired like any other. I will be reaching out to multiple websites to pursue my money returned from Al-Spitzer for underhandedly charging me along with getting Ford to repair my car before I end up in a car accident. So at the end of the day SHAME ON YOU AL-SPITZER!
