Totally aggravated, disgruntled customer.
I purchased a new 2013 Explorer from Ed Kenley. I also have an Escape. I regularly take my Ford SUVs there for service. When I go it's usually routine service, with little add- on selling of parts & service. My Explorer currently has 62,000 miles. Twice I have asked my wife to take in for routine quick lane service and both times the service manager has been vigilant in telling my wife that without expensive parts and service, "she might not make it home". On April 28th, my wife took it in for the second time as I was on a business trip. The service manager prayed upon her fears and tried to tell her that without the $1800 service he recommended that she should not go out of town as the results could be catastrophic. My wife called me very concerned and put a EK Ford CSR man on the phone, he tried to sell me on the dire situation. He said I was 2,000 outside of warranty "sorry". He also said that he has an Escape and everyone knows that with an Escape, Explorer or Expedition you have to have the extended warranty because they all fail around 60,000 miles with the same transfer case issue???? He said said, "some times this is never an issue for the life of the. car or it could be a problem today"
Is that not the case with all vehicles?
That statement surely did not ensure any confidence in Ford products or Ed Kenley service. I am convinced that that tried to scare my wife into an unneeded and expensive repair.
I also have a stack of recall notices too.
I won't purchase in another Ford product or do business with EK Ford. Instead of 2 Ford SUVs and one Toyota SUV,........my garage will have 3 Toyotas soon.
