  I had a motor replaced under warranty and when I was told my vehicle was finished I went to pick it up and the check engine light was still on before I left, I had to use the vehicle to move someone and was told to bring it back. After getting it home I noticed more issues like the air conditioning port caps were missing and the check engine light was for a new problem not present when I dropped the vehicle off. (Code P0301 was there only and now a different one) when I was going to bring it back I was told if its something they didnt do I would have to pay and I had to pay a diagnostic fee. *** tried to contact the manager and have not gotten any response, today when I went to have at least the air conditioning fixed I was told they are too busy and would have to wait a long time so I asked for a loaner car as I have children and a life and this is my only vehicle, I was then met with attitude and aggression from the owner who told me to go fix it my self and not to be in his shop.

  ******** -

   

  We have spoken to your Service Advisor, ****** as well as the Technician that worked on your vehicle.  Attached is a transcript of the text messages between you and ****** throughout your visit with **. 

   

  It appears that we have made several attempts to schedule your vehicle back in to verify your concerns without luck.  It also appears that you purchased your vehicle in ****** and the last time it was serviced by ******** Dealership prior to ** was ******* 2021.  Unfortunately, without an active warranty or extended service warranty not all items are covered.  Our Auto Technicians tested your vehicle before it was returned to you and it was free from any warning messages or dash icon lights at that time.  

   

  We appreciate your frustration and your patience during the parts backorder and repair completion.  It is never our intention to provide such a sour experience. It is our policy to end direct communications once a customer has communicated the intent to escalate concerns to a legal landscape.  As a result, we will not be scheduling a return visit for your vehicle.

  I am rejecting this response because: the check engine light was on when I came to pick it up, many hoses were not installed properly or in the correct place and or missing. I let her know the technician did not check the vehicle properly as the light was on when I lived it up after being told its done. I do have an extended warranty which they knew about. 
  she never responded for even getting a ride back home its just zero accountability on the service advisor and technicians part.

  
  Sincerely,

  1) We replaced the engine under a **** Warranty recall on the 2017 Escape.  The vehicle was towed in and was not running.  The O2 sensor did not cause the dash light illumination during the technician drive following the engine replacement. When the vehicle picked and ****** brought it up to the lane she offered for us to take a look later in the day.  The customer said, "I can do it myself" and left while ****** was printing **** warranty information.
  

  2)He cleared the code himself but the dash light did return and appears to be related to the O2 sensor.  We have offered to schedule his vehicle and verify the diagnosis during the initial pickup of the vehicle.  We also shared that we offer complimentary shuttle service within 5 miles of the dealership.

  3)We also offered again to confirm diagnosis and place him on the waiting list for a loaner vehicle via text message.  Again we reminded him that we offer complimentary shuttle service.

  4)We have attempted multiple times to invite him back into the dealership.  He said he would return April 27th and was helped by **** (another service advisor) and did not leave the vehicle.  We offered at that time to review and diagnosis his vehicle, provide a loaner, or provide a complimentary shuttle service. 

  Today, we are still willing to diagnosis the vehicle and rectify any failures of our technicians in the process.  With scheduling we will have the logistical capacity to designate a loaner vehicle with valid current auto insurance and drivers license from the customer.  Simply put we are unable to repair the vehicle if it is not here at the dealership.

  I purchased a 2021 f150 in December and had the windshield wiper motor go out the next day. Its a recalled part and I havent been able to; get it fixed, get a call back, get on the schedule to get it fixed or any communication at all. ***** is who runs recalls and after 10+ voicemails that I left the only way to talk to her is driving into the dealership. This is where she told me they dont have the recalled part and it would be months before she will get any information. The ** (***) hasnt returned a single call after multiple attempts and messages. I paid over 100k for a truck I cant even drive and Gresham Ford has been HORRIBLE. I am still yet to get my truck fixed or even on the schedule. This is the worst experience I have had dealing with a dealership in my life. Very poorly managed.
