  • Another Grapevine Ford HORROR story continues... Must read

    That's right get your out and check this out.

    On the way home from Sam's club today, the truck (2011 F150 lariat ecoboost) decides to start overheating. The display read that the temp was maxed out. While slowing down to pull over, there were two loud pops, Los of power, rough idle running low rpm's and the check engine light came on.

    The truck went in on Dec 21st for a new engine under warranty. It had run so low on oil that motor developed a loud tick and chewed up. Ford replaced the engine under warranty, and after saying it would take about ten days, it ended up taking a month. Every day we called, they kept saying "one more day, we need a gasket", or "one more day, waiting on parts."

    The day we got the truck back, on the way home, they called to let us know that they forgot to put the engine cover back on and that we could come pick it up. Another trip up there.

    Last Monday, I went to use the a/c and it was blowing hot. Another trip up there.

    Yesterday, i was about to detail the engine and noticed that they left off the entire skid plate underneath, the long large rubber flap that is underneath and left one under the hood torn to pieces. Another trip up there. They said they are ordering parts.

    This comes after bring the truck in months ago for an oil change, it took them 4 hours just to bring the truck to the back when promised "it will be done shortly". This is also after having to bring my Taurus SHO back 3 times because they left the passenger side mirror loose, retaining pins missing from the cowl, loose trim, paint chipped off the bumper and runs in the paint. They also manage to horribly swirls the car up with buffer holograms.


    I don't know if it is just my family, but we have spent over $500,000 at this dealership and have nothing but issues every time. Does anyone elsenhave these issues as well? When I talked to the second manager in charge, the one right below the general manager, about the paint and trim issues on the Taurus, he told me that my car will not be normal after a wreck and they have the best service department around. They did eventually make thenpaint right though.

    So the saga continues, and now the truck and interior smells like burnt ass coolant. Matthew Lang was the mechanic.

    The obvious question is why do you continue to do business with them?


    Also, this kind of incompetence isn't confined to Grapevine Ford. Recently had my wife's Taurus repaired at Sam Pack Five Star Ford Collision. After having the car for 28 days they let us know it was ready to pick up. They had the car waiting for us all nice and shined up when we pulled in. However, they hadn't even touched the damaged exhaust tips, hangers, and muffler. After angrily pointing this out the manager was red faced embarrassed and the shear stupidity of his staff. Considering that they had it up on a lift to do half of the required repairs listed on their own invoice. They gave us a free rental for the weekend and we picked up on Monday. The service techs at these dealerships are monkeys with a name tag. The dealership experience as whole is a beat down.

      If you have nothing but issues every time why do you keep going back?

        If you've spent that much money there and had that many problems, can I ask why you seem to keep going back there and not somewhere else? Also seems like it's not really a close drive, so why keep dealing with the headaches vs just finding someone else/better to handle it from now on?

        I'm sure if you go to a different dealer, explain the situation and the loyalty to ford with the assumption that if they take care of you, you will be a loyal customer, they would bend over backwards to make sure you are happy every time you are there.

                I honestly don't know why, stupidity on my part I suppose. I just keep being reassured these things won't happen again, but this may be the last straw.

                          I'd like to know what they're going to do with your new engine that already overheated. I would be irate.

                              That place has gone to shit. I don't think I will ever go back.
