    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    Roughly on July 28,2023 I did a trade in for a vehicle. I strongly believe this business scammed me. I traded in my previous vehicle for a 2023 **** Mustang Mach-E. At the time I told them I was interested in a LEASE. The manager, *****, offered me a **** Flex. He advised me that after 3 years, or earlier, I could bring back the vehicle or buy it in full. Few months later, I realized that vehicle was not what I expected and not fit for my needs. I went to a different **** and they advised me that this was not a lease and that I had purchased the vehicle for more than MSRP. They looked at other purchase details and they advised me that I should sue ******************** for miscommunication and scamming. I now I have $63K loan under my name without my consent and knowledge. I am NOT happy with this vehicle or business, I am requesting a different vehicle without penalty for the inconvenience.

    I WILL NEVER, I MEAN NEVER GO BACK TO HOPKINS FORD AGAIN. My name is *********************! I have gone through a potentially dangerous, life threatening situation after taking my vehicle to Hopkins Ford for repair. First, I want to start by saying, Hopkins Ford never really repaired my vehicle to a professional standard. A lot of time when Hopkins Ford did work on my vehicle, I always had to return my vehicle because the repairs were NOT done correctly or properly. Hopkins Ford had been the only dealership to repair my vehicle. **** KNOWS, I got so TIRED of the incompetent repair work done by Hopkins Ford ****************, LET ME TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED! I took my vehicle again, back to Hopkins Ford I needed to have new windshield wipers installed, an oil change and my tires rotated. After the work was done, I paid them and left, I drove home. But, the next day, I was on my way to my doctor's *********** and OMG, MY RIGHT, FRONT passenger tire start rubbing and making this GOD awful noise. I was so afraid. I just start praying and asking GOD to just let me make it back home and park. I got back home and I immediately called Hopkins Ford and I spoke to ****** and I told him it sounds and felt like my right, front passenger tire was about to fly off the rim. ******, then send NOT 1 - but 2 mobile mechanics to my house. Those 2 mechanics literally jacked up my car, turned my wheels to the left, then to the right doing their inspection. Then I was told what my car needed. (Which, after the mobile mechanics left my house, I decided NOT TO EVER DO BUSINESS WITH HOPKINS FORD AGAIN), at this point I knew that I was being hoodwinked and lied to. So, I decide to have my vehicle towed to ***** tires to get a different set of eyes on what was being done underneath my vehicle. AT THE ***** ***** tire indicated to me that the RIGHT, FRONT passenger tire was not secure and it would have caused a very serious accident! THE DANGER WAS OVERLOOKED BY HOPKINS FORD!
