    I took my 2023 **** Edge to be looked at to be repaired and I was told to come back in to pick my car up. They had my car for five days. Upon arriving to pick back up my car the inside was damaged. The changing gear was torn apart, the head part of the seat was pulled apart. My floor mates were missing and they were brand new. The windows in the front were down and the inside of my car was wet. In addition my 2020 Jeep Renegade was brought in to be traded in and now I&#**;m having issues locating the jeep. I spoke with **** and told him that the bank wants the jeep back. I believe the jeep has been stolen and i am being told that this could adversely affect my credit.

    Note - we do not have a customer in our database named Ja Moo.  After extensive research, we believe this customer name to be ***** *****.

    Consumer brought his Jeep Renegade to the Bommarito Ford ****************** and approved diagnostic work.  No issues were able to be duplicated or found.  Consumer never retrieved the vehicle.  It was considered abandoned after a significant period of time (Abandoned Property Report filed with Missouri DOR) and was subsequently towed by ***************** in ****************, ***

    Consumer may reach out to Tri Star Recovery for further assistance at ************.

    I purchased a brand new 2024 Mustang from Bommarito Ford in January 2024 with just 14 miles on it. At the time of purchase, I was told by dealership staff that my vehicle came with a full bumper-to-bumper warranty including coverage for tires, as long as the issue was caused by something outside of my control (like a nail or road hazard).On 3/21/2025, I brought my vehicle in for service due to the heated steering wheel not working. While there, I asked the service department again about tire coverage. I was reassured by two separate service advisors that my tires were covered under the warranty for issues such as flats or road hazards as long as the issue was not due to wear and tear and was approved by Ford.That same day, I had one tire replaced due to a chunk of rubber missing. The service advisor told me it wasnt covered since it was only cosmetic and the tire was still technically drivable. I paid for it out of pocket, which I was okay with. However, I again confirmed that if I got a flat especially while traveling it would be covered. They reassured me once more that the warranty follows the vehicle, so Id be protected even if I had issues in another state.On 4/13/2025, while driving on I-95 in *******, I experienced a flat. I had the vehicle towed to ***** ****. Since it was a Sunday, their service department was closed. On 4/14, ***** **** told me I was not covered under any tire warranty and advised me to call Bommarito Ford for paperwork. I called immediately and was given the runaround. They claimed they couldnt look up my warranty and provided no help.I was left stranded in another state and had to pay out of pocket to replace the tire. I would have taken preventative measures had I been told the truth. Instead, I was repeatedly misled and paid the price. This was unacceptable, and Im requesting a formal explanation and reimbursement from Bommarito Ford for the misinformation and out-of-pocket expense.

    ****************** does not cover tire repairs or replacements for flat tires, impact damage, road hazard, etc.  Our records indicate that no additional tire coverage was purchased at the time of sale.  

    We have attempted to contact the consumer to discuss her concern via phone and email with no communication back as of this date.

    I just pick up my 2004-F-150 from the dealership. I started notice I was having transmission issues. I took my truck in two weeks ago. and informed the dealership what I thought was going wrong with my truck-(Transmission). and the 4--wheel drive was having problems. I told the dealership to hold off on the Rear end work that needed to be done and until I check with my warranty with Car-shield. I asked them to call the **************** before any work would be perform on my truck. I called the warranty company to verified if the dealership and made a claim and the dealership hadn&#**;t call them for anything on work to be perform. When I pickup my truck April ******* I notice the driver-side speaker was taken out and hanging out of the driver-side door. The radio doesn&#**;t work anymore and it was working with I dropped my truck off at the dealership. The touch screen isn&#**;t working anymore. I had triple AAA to bring my truck back to my home. After noticing all of the issues I called the dealership and inform them all the issues I notice and spoke with a technician by the name ********************* I then receive a text message from the dealership and ask me to do a survey on how the service perform. The dealership fix the rear end without my approval. I only wanted them to work on the transmission. I was told the dealership is only going to charge me for the diagnosis on my truck. I went dealership and met with *********************** Advisor). and then the technician by the name ******* ******-(who was hearing impairment) and has been texting me back and forth during the time my car was in the shop. They did charge me $189.00 for the diagnosis tastings. Mr. *** ******** was the General Manager-sent a video too regarding my radio no longer working.

    Consumer's vehicle was towed to our shop with a rear differential complaint. Upon inspection, we determined the transmission had failed and the frame is completely rusted through and not safe to drive. The truck is a total loss with the transmission and frame failure.

    We did not look at a speaker issue or radio concern. Technician stated when he closed the door the speaker fell out of the door panel because it wasn't bolted in.  We did not complete any repairs to this vehicle due to the transmission/frame issue, making the customer responsible only for the $189 diagnostic fee.

    We politely deny any wrongdoing.  Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

    When I purchased my vehicle the finance person and I agreed verbally that after six months of making $%00 monthly payments, he would help me refinance my car to lower my car note by $200. I have been calling and leaving messages at is now six months since I purchased my vehicle and I have not heard back from him. I am getting ready to have surgery and am no longer working and cannot afford the $500 payments. I need the finance person to reach out to me to start the refinancing process to lower my payment.

    Business Response

    Date: 12/13/2024

    We have been in contact with the consumer and apologized for the delay.  As the consumer is seeking to refinance her vehicle as well as a billing adjustment, we recommend that she contact her lender directly for assistance with these requests.  

    Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

    Sincerely,

    **** *****lieve this is personal because I asked to be contacted by email. If there is a delay in the part or opening up of a bay then that needs to be communicated by the dealer. And this is also out of the ordinary considering that this dealer charges a diagnoistic fee and the fee doesn't go towards the final price. And you can't even keep in contact with the customer. This is above and beyond what I think is inappropriate. I'm willing to pay for the ***air. But they should have to do something about not even staying in contact with me. They haven't called or emailed like I said. This is what I think is fair. Since they didn't contact me they can waive the $295 diagnoistice fee. I'm willing to pay the $1100 or so fee to get the radio fixed but since they can't even keep me in the loop they should have to do something about that.

    Business Response

    Date: 10/29/2024

    We apologize for our poor communication and will waive the diagnostic fee as consumer requests.  Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

    I am adding more information because due to the issues with the vehicle it has caused me financial issues and use of my personal time at my job.  I get a response of caring when I am in the dealership on the ***** side until it is time to help me.  Then everyone gets amnesia and can't do anything to help me.  I have an appointment not with my doctor due to the anxiety of driving this vehicle and stress due to the lies and lack of assistance.  I am so very disappointed with ****!!! I have NEVER had such a BAD and Disrespectful experience. I have used over 8 hours of personal time off at work due to ****************** in *********, ***  Still NOTHING!!!!!

    I contacted the number provided and it was for a medical company. Please provide the correct number. 

    Business Response

    Date: 09/17/2024

    We communicated the following information to consumer on this date:

    The issue the consumer is experiencing is a known product failure on the **** Focus.  We recommend that consumer contact ****************** customer service and request financial assistance for replacement of the TCM.  Their number is **************.  **** did extend the coverage at no cost to the owner on most for the **** Focus models until June 30, 2025.  Unfortunately, **** did not include consumer's VIN for coverage under the ***************** Bulletin 14M02 (a copy of bulletin was provided to consumer).  **** will open a case and hopefully offer reimbursement.  We request that the consumer provide our service manager, *** *******, the case number so we can remain involved and assist where needed.

    Thank you.
