      I purchased a new 2022 **** Escape on Feb 15th...according to the sticker & the salesman the car included a **** Connect program which you could use to start your car from inside your home & other features...when the salesman tried to pull the feature up it wasn't working so he said I would have to make an appointment to take it in to service to have it fixed which I did on Feb 21st...left the car there all day, went to pick it up & I asked the salesman to help me make sure it was working now which it wasnt...so he took it back over to the service department to see what was wrong & one of the mechanics Saud apparently the module which enables the car to access this feature wasn't added on even though it showed on the sticker I had paid for that...this is fraud...I asked to cancel the sale & was told by the general manager I couldn't do that...he said call ****, which I did but they said to call **** credit & they were of no help...then they referred me back to the dealer who said they had no buyback policy & would not do it...they are basically giving me the run around & *****, even the service manager will not return my calls...this is wrong!

      Alternator went out while traveling through the area. We were stranded so had it towed. My truck was in their shop for 11 days to replace the alternator. Replacement failed in less than two *************** manager will not return my calls. I replaced the alternator they installed within 20 minutes. By far the easiest alternator swap I've ever done. They charged $450 in labor for the job. $450 for 20 minute job is fraud. Filing small claims lawsuit.
