  On March 24, 2025, I purchased a 2023 F150 from Wyatt Johnson Ford. I presented a check in the amount of $39,738.16, which included my $5000.00 downpayment, from ***************************** to the ******************* I drove the vehicle home to discover a loud hissing sound under the hood. I returned to the dealership on March 25, in less than 24 hours because of this issue. I spoke to the General Sales Manager expressing how I was not satisfied with the purchase. The General Sales Manager suggested a Trade- in offer. Wyatt ************************* called Family Advantage requesting a payoff. Wyatt's ****************** sent a check to Family advantage in the amount $34,738.16. Included in the sales contract packet is a 5 Day Return Policy. I did not at any time authorize, give permission to the ****************** to apply nor transfer my $5000.00 deposit to the Trade- In purchase of the 2021 F150. The $5000.00 deposit is not listed on the 2021-F150 contract. I, therefore, am requesting a full refund of my $5000.00 deposit from Wyatt Johnson Ford of Nashville. Every attempt has been made to receive my deposit from the ******************, however to no avail.

  We are sorry the consumer is not satisfied with his purchase and then trade in for another vehicle. We have review the two deals. It appears the consumer purchased a vehicle and applied $5000 toward that vehicle purchase. He later choose to trade that vehicle in for another vehicle. He was allowed his entire purchase price of the first vehicle toward the second vehicle. We are unsure as to why the consumer would like and additional $5000.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  The contract document for the trade in purchase for a 2021 F150 truck clearly reflects a $1000.00 deposit, which is the same $1000.00 transferred from the initial purchase of the 2023 F150. The $5000.00 was a 2nd deposit included in the check issued by ***************************** for the purchase of the 2023 F150 truck. Please return my deposit. You sent the payoff amount to the ************ excluding the $5000.00 deposit. It was my choice as to whether or not I wanted to also apply my $5000.00 in addition to the previously applied $1000.00. Please review the contract again, my $5000.00 was not applied. Please return my deposit.
  Sincerely,

  We are sorry the consumer is not satisfied but the consumer received the full credit of all funds on the second transaction. We have double checked and triple checked. We will be glad to go over the transaction with the consumer again if they like.

  We offer several levels of Pre-Owned classifications of vehicles. Nearly New, Pre-Loved and Wrench Ready. Each vehicle is fully disclosed as to which classification it is in. Every Pre-Owned vehicle comes with a 14 day exchange policy. We make every effort to determine the condition and predict any future repairs, but vehicles are mechanical and as hard as we try it is impossible to predict future repairs. All covered parts, if any are fully disclosed to all consumers. We would be glad to discuss an exchange with the customer.

  Better Business Bureau:
  
  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.
  Only if done within a timely manner, because we had previously started the process and never concluded me actually exchanging the car. As I have previously stated after I did another application for another car, I was then ignored for months until now. So I would need an exchanged within the next 2 weeks.

  On 17 March 2025, Wyatt Johnson Ford committed to performing recall service under ***** campaign numbers 24S59/24V684 for my vehicle, but my experience was highly unsatisfactory due to the following issue. I waited for 7 hours with no updates regarding my vehicle. I dropped my vehicle off at 1020. I finally asked at 1720 for my vehicle back but was told I could not leave with it since it was now being updated. I made multiple inquiries regarding the status of my vehicle and received little to no response or were given vague excuses for the delays. There was no proactive communication from the dealership about the status of my vehicle, and when I contacted them, I often received conflicting information. It is their legal obligation to handle recalls in a professional and timely manner.

  On February 6th i purchased a 2016 ***** CRV that was presented as a one owner accident free certified used vehicle for $19500.00. On February 11th the paint on the top started to peal off in the rain. I notified them of the problem and told I them about the issue and that I would like to return the vehicle in accordance with their 5 day return policy or at a minimum get the top repainted. They have refused to do either and tried to tell me ***** had a class action over paint for ********* which doesn't involve the **** When I purchased the vehicle they told me that they had it cermanic coated and charged me for the coating. My paint shop confirmed cermanic coating applied incorrectly will cause paint peel. I informed them of that as well yet their response was they're not responsible for paint issues. They applied the cermanic coating that caused the problem otherwise the paint would have peeled long before 2025. I need assistance in getting the problem as they refused all request and will no longer take my calls or respond to my text. I paid cash in full for it.

  I purchased a used car on October 8, 2024. The Carfax report and the auto dealership advised that there was only minor cosmetic damage. When I took the car to two auto body shops, they both told me that the front grill had pushed into the condenser bending or breaking off the flaps that allow air to come into the condenser. This will eventually cause the condenser to stop working, which term will cause the air conditioning to stop working. This is not cosmetic. I took the car back and advised them of what the first body shop had told me and got nowhere. They told me to let them know what I found out at the second body shop. The second body shop said the exact same thing without me telling them what the first body shop had told me. The repairs were going to cost over $4000. This car lot has a five day return policy if the car is driven under 200 miles. Theyre never going to admit that the car has more damage than cosmetic. I argued with one of the employees about this to the point that I knew there was no point in telling him anything. He was just going to swear that the body shop was just trying to inflate damages. They are never going to admit the damage actually involves the functioning of the vehicle even if it is just the air conditioning. Dont sell a car with an air conditioner when you know it is going to go out because it is damaged. Yes, it works today, but next week may be a different story. I just wanted them to make it right. I am willing to still take the car if they will make the repairs.

  Wyatt Johnson Ford provides every customer with as much information as possible and disclosure of the condition of every vehicle. Every vehicle comes with a 14 day exchange policy. Wyatt Johnson Ford would be glad to extend that policy to October 21st if the consumer would like to return the vehicle.

  This is to express concerns about poor customer service that I have received from Wyatt Johnson Ford, and to find out what the company does to make amends for unsatisfactory performance. After the following message appeared on the control panel of my 2015 **** Escape, I had it towed to Wyatt Johnson Ford for repair: Steering assist fault Service required. Subsequently, on the invoice of July 15, 2024, copy attached, the following was stated: TEST DROVE CAR AND NO PROBLEM FOUND WITH STEERING AT THIS TIME. So, when the message appeared again, I had the car towed to Town & Country **** Nashville, which replaced the steering gear assembly, see the attached invoice of August 27, 2024. This is of grave concern because I and any passengers were placed at risk of having a deadly accident, after my vehicle had given a warning about the problem. It is inexcusable and unconscionable that Wyatt Johnson did not detect and correct it!Furthermore, I have Endurance Warranty. Wyatt Johnson was advised of that fact. However, the claim for repairs on the June 13, 2024 invoice, copy attached, was only submitted to Endurance on July 13, 2024, a month later. Nevertheless, the company has not revised the invoice to reflect the Endurance payment of $754.55. The fact that Wyatt ****** has not submitted a claim to Endurance for the July *******, repairs after 51 days is very disturbing. Voicemail was left for Ms. ***** ****** on the following dates: June 24, July 19, August 15 and 16, 2024. An e-mail was also sent on August 16, 2024. Unfortunately, to date, there has been no response. I would like to resolve this matter informally, if possible.

  Wyatt Johnson Ford makes every attempt to fix consumers vehicles right the first time. Ever manufacturer has a step by step procedure to diagnose any repair. Wyatt Johnson Ford follows those to insure accuracy of repairs.

  I am rejecting this response because: To date Wyatt Johnson Ford has not submitted a signed work order to *************************** regarding the invoice of July 15, 2024.  Furthermore, it has also failed to issue a revised invoice which reflects the amount that Endurance paid regarding the June 13, 2024, repairs.  After all, this should be a transparent process.  Accordingly, If the July15, 2024, invoice is processed with Endurance, a revised invoice would also be needed.

  My wife and I went to Wyatt Johnson to purchase a New vehicle on 07/03/2024. During the price negotiation, the salesman saw my disabled veteran ID and asked me if I was 100% disabled. I curiously answered that I was. He told me that I do not have to pay sales tax because of that. I immediately told him he was wrong and that I knew the law. He got his manager and told me they "have sold plenty of cars with no sales tax to disabled vets, and it is true." I argued to the point that my wife joked, "I bet you have never had someone argue to pay taxes." I kept telling them they were wrong and that tax exclusion is only for ******************* Members. However, they refused to put the sales tax on the sale sheet. We went to finance, put our wholly-owned vehicle as a trade, and financed the rest through **** Credit. The week of August 19, I began trying to find out where our TN license plate was as our temporary tag would expire on 01 Sept. My clerk's office told me they had to mail the paperwork back to the dealership the first week of August because they still needed to collect TN sales tax from us. The dealership has yet to call me. They knew we would need to pay before we got issued a plate. I called several times and finally got someone in Wyatt Johnson's ********************* She told me that she told the sales team to stop doing this to veterans because they were wrong, and the tax must be collected. This conversation took place on August 29, 2024, via phone. I paid ******* over the phone for the uncollected sales tax. She said she would overnight the paperwork to the Stewart ************************ for plate issuance. This has yet to happen. I confronted the manager when he called me later that day and told him what they were doing was unethical and wrong. I want them to stop lying to disabled veterans to make a sale.

  We make every effort to provide accurate tax information in the collection of state taxes and fees. The county ruled this consumer did not qualify for the tax exemption. We offered to assist with the payment of tax.

  Customer Answer

  Date: 09/15/2024

  The companys response is pathetic. I am the one who had to tell them that they misrepresented the tax exemption. The point is that they are taking a state code and misinterpreting the law to consumers to close a deal. Then, when the sale is done and the county clerk refuses to issue registration due to uncollected taxes, the dealer plays dumb as if they didnt know that would happen. Their response saying customer didnt qualify is pathetic. They mailed a check for $500 last week. Zero contact or correspondence from the dealership. Tell them to stop lying to disabled veterans!
