    We bought a new *********** car from this Dealership in last week of Sep 2024. We had decided on the *** price for the car which was $52,300. I was not made aware by anyone in the dealership that as part of this purchase, we were eligible for 42K FordPass reward points. These points are awarded by ************* and not the dealership After all the Sales formalities were completed, we were taken to ************** to sign the papers. The Finance *** told us "if you pay extra $160, you can get 42K points and those are worth $250". I thought that was a good deal, so I paid him extra $160. But after I came home and googled, everyone who buys ****** model I bought is anyway eligible for 42K points. Plus those points are only worth $205. So the Finance *** told us complete lies and made us pay extra $160. Since then I have reached out to dealership for refund numerous times but with no result. I have also filed a complaint with **** and I am still waiting for **** to escalate this.I am guessing they cheat every customer with the same lies. I am sure if any other customers of theirs are reading this will relate to this

    Business Response

    We sincerely apologize for the confusion and frustration you've experienced regarding the FordPass reward points and the additional charge. It's always our goal to ensure transparency and a positive experience for all our customers.

    After reviewing your case, we recognize that the 42K FordPass points are indeed part of the purchase for your Bronco, and we regret that this information was not properly communicated to you at the time of your sale. The $160 charge was not intended to mislead, and we understand how this has created confusion.

    We take your concerns seriously and are committed to resolving this matter. Our team refunded the amount to your lender since this was in the included in the financing. Attached is a copy of the check we cut in Oct. 

    Again, we apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

    Better Business Bureau:

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint.  

    1. I had paid $160 via Debit Card and was not part of the loan.

    2. I had informed the Finance person at the dealership multiple times that I have paid off the loan and the account with *** is closed. I even send him the copy of the receipt on Oct 11, clearly showing that the all the balance on the loan was completely paid off. In spite of that, it looks like Finance guy ignored all my messages and still sent the check to BOA on Oct 17. Also, he never communicated this information to me. This is the first time I am seeing the proof that check was sent to BOA

    3. I spoke to ***. As expected, *** had immediately rejected the check and sent the funds back to Dealership. Again, this was never communicated to me till today.

    4. I called the dealership multiple times in last 3 weeks and left messages for GSM, but still the issue remains unresolved

    4. I am still waiting for the refund



    Regards,
    Dasani

    We understand that the refund of $160 is still pending, and we sincerely apologize for the delay. We are actively working with our finance team to process the refund as quickly as possible. You should receive confirmation once the refund has been processed, and we will follow up with you directly.


    We truly value your business and are committed to resolving this matter to your satisfaction. We will make it a priority to resolve the refund issue and improve our internal communication to prevent this from happening again in the future.
    Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience caused.


    Thank you for your understanding.

    Dropped off my 2013 ***** CR-V on Sept 28th, 2024 reporting a specific issue which is known to occur on other similar make/model/year vehicles. ***** has issued 2 ***************** Bulletins as well about these: ******, ******, with recommended repairs.The ********************************************* ***** service department/representative advised that the technicians would have diagnose and recreate the issue and to find out my vehicle VIN is covered under the **** The diagnostics charge of $165 would be returned if indeed the issue applies to my car.Then a few hours later, the service **** for ********************************************* ***** called back stating the issue was recreated and the *** is applicable - they also recommended other repairs. However, since my vehicle's manufacturer warranty has expired, the diagnostic charge still applies, and any repairs recommended by ***** would be at my own expense.The vehicle being out of manufacturer's warranty was previously also known to them, but they did not state this as a pre-condition to repairing the vehicle when I dropped it off with them. This was simply a ploy to extract a diagnostics fee and build an estimate of over $7,000 for un-related issues. The original issue I brought the vehicle in for, was able to be recreated by the technician. The manufacturer's recommended repair was not suggested by the technician. And they held my car hostage till I paid them the $165 diagnostic fee for unrelated issues which I didn't ask them to look into or ask them to fix.

    On September 12, 2024 , I drove my vehicle to the ****************** for an oil change at Russell & Smith Ford. I was advised by the service advisor that the oil change could take at least 90 minutes. I agreed to wait, however, the oil change was not completed until 2 1/2 hours. Before I left the Quick Lube, I asked the technician if the tires were rotated. I was informed by the tech that the tires were not rotated . I asked why and the tech stated that I supposedly didnt want my tires rotated. I told the tech that the information was totally false. Once my oil change was completed, I informed the tech that I would return and have the tires rotated. On Friday, September 13, I returned to the Quick Lube and had my tires rotated. I attempted to share my experience with the service manager, however, he rudely stated that he was busy with a customer. I only wanted the service manager to know that I needed to speak with him as well. I left the Russell & Smith Ford without discussing my concerns with the service manager and extremely disappointed with the service.

    I spoke with his service advisor.  He originally stated that he didnt want the tires rotated.  He came back the following day to complain and we rotated the tires.   He left before I could speak with him, so I called him on the phone.  He did not answer and did not call me back.   I refunded his total amount of the repair order and apologized via a message.    I still havent heard back from him.   As of today, his vehicle is completely serviced and he paid nothing

    Thank you for reaching out and bringing this matter to our attention. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience youve experienced with your recent vehicle purchase and the ongoing issues with the repair. We did deliver the vehicle to you in working condition, exactly how it came from the factory. It is unfortunate that the other dealer broke the part, and the part was unavailable at that time. 

    We understand how frustrating it must be to deal with these delays, and we want to assure you that we are committed to resolving this situation as swiftly as possible. Your vehicle does have a 3 year/ 36,000-mile bumper to bumper warranty from ******************. Unfortunately, we cannot control parts availability or how they are delivered. We do sincerely apologize about that. We do hope your vehicle is fixed and you're back on the road. 

    Please accept our sincerest apologies for the trouble youve encountered. We value your business and are committed to making this right. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, do not hesitate to contact us directly.

    Thank you for your patience and understanding.

    I disagree the engine light was on when vehicle was delivered and the dealership that is currently attempting to fix the issue had arrived at the conclusion that this vehicle is not repairable and in fact it is classified as a defective vehicle.  I want Russell and Smith **** to refund my down payment and extra expenses incurred during this process.

    ****************** should be contacted, and your local dealer can assist.  When a manufacturer is unable to repair a vehicle, you do have the right to file a "Lemon Law" claim. Additionally, a dealer may appeal to **** for trade in assistance if in fact parts are unavailable on a manufacturer's defect. This is called the "Vehicle Loyalty Allowance". We will ask our service department to assist in this request if your local servicing dealership is unable to do so. The issue must be identified as a "manufacturer defect" and not something caused by your servicing dealership. If you believe that this repair is a manufacturers defect with no parts availability and your local dealer is unable to assist you, please send us all the information you have, and we will attempt to contact **** on your behalf.

    Once you have your local dealership information and any Repair Orders please email it to *********************************************************************************************************

    Once a vehicle has been contracted, driven off the lot, and titled it becomes a used vehicle. There is no way to "unwind" a title returning the status to "new".

    We have offered to assist however no documentation of the servicing dealership, the cause of the defect, or whether it is a manufacturer defect or damage caused by the dealership in their attempt to resolve the original complaint. Without information we are unable to assist. Why not provide the requested information?

    I started working on a truck deal with the GM (Mike ******* in December. He did not have and couldn't find the truck I wanted. I was convinced to purchase a lower model truck and order the one I wanted from Ford. I sat in the dealership with a salesman and we placed the order for the new truck. The truck arrived at the dealership in March. Mike drug his feet for a few weeks but, finally agreed to let me come get it. The original deal consisted of me taking the wheels and tires from the original purchased truck and installing them on the new one. He stated that he needed to keep them on the original to help with the trade in. I made a counter offer to that and he agreed to have aftermarket tires installed on the new truck. I arrived at the dealership on 3/28 and the truck was not there. However, he instructed me to go ahead and sign all the paperwork for it, ie. the contract. I was told the tires were not in yet but, they would be in and installed on 3/29. On Friday 3/29 I messaged to check on the progress and was told it would be ready shortly. Around 2pm on 3/29 I received a **** from Mike saying that he could not do the deal. Stating that he would lose too much money. I am not sure why he waited until then to say that. I have hundreds of **** ******** with Mike over the three month period, discussing all of the prices and details of the deal. Statements like, 'Im a man of my word' and 'I promise I will make the deal happen' were used frequently. He is the GM... Him and I both knew the cost of trading back in the original purchase, as well as the price of the truck that he had me order. I have never, in all of my 44 years, felt so lied to and taken advantage of.

    I purchased a FORD EDGE 2024 on November 29, 2023. I was told the MSRP for this EDGE was $39,960.00, minus a dealer discount/incentive of $2,500.00. Added to this would be the TT and L, plus about $3,000 for a “Benefits Package”, less my trade in, valued at $6,000.00. When I came home, I did not find the Bill of Sale with the paperwork. I learned that the said Finance guy had left the dealership. It took a few days for them to locate and send me the Bill of Sale. I found that the Sales Price shown was $42,276.00 (not $39,960.00), plus TT and L, plus the benefits package. There was also a line item which showed $586.00 had been thrown in, I had not agreed to the $586.00 Several calls and e-mails later, I learned that the $586.00 was for Oil changes and tire rotations for five (5) years. Again this was not discussed with me at the time of the sale. There was no paperwork to show the above about oil changes and tire rotations. Many calls later, they finally e-mailed me a page, showing this part of the deal, with a PO Box address instead of my home address and a wrong date of purchase. They offered to take off the $586.00, but said they would not advise it as it was a great deal. I am still considering what I must do regarding this. When I have tried to ask how the sales price became $42,276.00 (from a MSRP of $39,960), they had no reply except to state that so and so Manager would call me back within the hour. That has not happened to this date. Today, the 29th January will mark two months since I bought the vehicle. My attempts to get answers have failed. Hence my request to you. Could you kindly ask them to clarify the above, at their earliest, please? I use the car for personal use, also business and my CPA needs to know the exact numbers, so that he can apportion as needed and as required by the IRS. I also need to know how the MSRP became $42,276.00 and why $586.00 suddenly appeared in the docs? Thank you.

    Brought my truck in for a noise from the back axle. Per inspection by the tech was told the truck that is a 2021 with less than 40k miles needed new rear brakes and a bunch of other services and this is the cause of the noise. The cost for the repair was $1430. I decline this and took it to my mechanic to have the brakes done. Will this wasn’t the issue after spending $700 and my mechanic I still have the noise coming from the rear end. I told the dealership many times the brakes were not the issues but they are telling me this is the issue and they tested my brakes. After I left a negative review the service manager told me since I left a negative review not to bring my car there anymore.

    Business Response

    Date: 01/08/2024

    After 2 attempts to locate a "squeak" R&S was unable to find the source. The brakes were identified as a possible contributor of the noise. The work was turned down however it appears the customer's mechanic of choice believed the brakes needed work. We are glad he performed the work at a price he felt comfortable with. R&S did refund his money. It is unfortunate when personalities are so strong that it limits the ability to effectively communicate.  When a customer has been servicing elsewhere for 40,000 miles it is best to refer him back to his original selling dealer, servicing dealer, or mechanic of choice.

    I purchased new 2023 Escape from Russel & Smith Ford Dealership; I was sold a damaged vehicle. My purchase agreement on Sept 23, 2023 was not honored by this dealership. The vehicle was to be delivered on Sept 25, 2023 since the vehicle was damaged getting the vehicle from storage. I was offered new vehicle and lead to believe the new car was in great condition. After the fact of the new vehicle being driving by the sales rep from Victory to Houston, it’s unclear how the damage had been missed with the noise of the broken hubs being that distance of a drive. Next day, I contacted the sale rep letting aware of the issue on the car and will be bring in the vehicle to get checked. Car was not driving right; the front was making noise. I wasn’t sure if the align was off. My driving was limited calling the service dept to get this resolved. I notice coming to in intersection the car moving if I didn’t hold hard on the breaks. The issue got even worse when trying to resolve the problem. Service dept would not return any of my calls. This auto dealer misrepresented themselves and would not honor the contract agreement. I don’t trust or feel safe taken back the car. Sales contract states a loaner vehicle would be provided if repairs are being done on new vehicle. Vehicle was dropped off on Oct 31, 2023, and no loaner was provided. All attempts to contact the dealership from 10/31 -11/3 to provide the loaner vehicle failed. On Thursday, Nov 2, 2023, received a text notification from Doug, service dept they were currently looking at the front hubs/brake area for failure. Then, I received another texted confirmed diagnosed component making the noise is the right front Hub. A damage wheel hub can also cause the steering wheel to come loose when I’m driving down the road, especially when cornering. Vehicle should not be driving with this type of damage as might result in some bigger issues. Dealership fail to disclose the damage/defect of the new vehicle.

    As Mrs. ****** stated she and her husband took retail delivery of a new Ford Escape on or about September 25, 2023. There was no prior damage, and the vehicle was delivered as built by Ford Motor Company.

     

    The vehicle returned to our dealership on or about November 3, 2023 having traveled 1266 miles. Our customer complained of “front end noise.” The vehicle was diagnosed and researched. A factory service bulletin, SSM51948, revealed a warranty repair common to this vehicle.  The repair, a wheel bearing, an approximately $200 repair, was covered under warranty by FMC. The ******** were were offered substitute transportation while the repair was made. The Russell & Smith service advisor stayed in contact with the customer.   We have transcripts of 12 messages sent by Mr. Torres to Mr. ****** informing him of the vehicle status and several replies from Mr. ******..

     

    In as much as Ford tries to build perfect cars, they fall short.

     

    Russell & Smith attempted to offer the ******** a pathway to trade in their vehicle.  The ******** determined that the initial depreciation of a now titled, preowned car was not financially possible.  Ownership of this vehicle and repayment of the loan remain with the ******s.

     

    Regards,

    Better Business Bureau:

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint.  

    [Provide details of why you are not satisfied with this resolution.]

    Regards,


      Yes we did have a phone call. Very much welcomed. I will consider this resolved when I received may registration paper work. To date I haven't received it.

    I have spoken to Mr ******. We did everything I said we would do, unfortunately its now in the hands of the Arkansas DMV and out of our control.

    He needs to contact them. We are very sorry for the inconvenience.

    First and foremost, we do offer 3 month and 3k miles except for vehicles that we clearly inform the customer that this particular vehicle is sold as is for parts.

    We told him multiple times, we put it in writing for him and he signed understanding exactly what he was buying. 

    Even then he came back upset almost in tears a day or two later and we let him out of the contract and gave him all his money back, which legally we did not have to but we did.\

    We also gave him his trade back, who and how the second key was lost no one knows. 

    We did this man a huge favor and this is what we get. We will not be replacing the key.

    Best,

    David *******
