Business ProfileforVarsity Ford

August 15, 2022 I took my 2018 **** escape (VIN# 1FMCUIGD5JUA29949) to have repairs done. It was supposed to have the engine replaced. Since this was a manufacture malfunction **** was going to pay for. Everything went as followed. But on October 14 I receive a call from the shop stating one of their employees took the vehicle for a test drive to make sure it was running well. While on the test drive the vehicle was hit by another vehicle causing for the vehicle to be totaled. He suggested that i reached out to my insurance and let them know of the accident. I reached out to my insurance, and they were going to contact the dealer to figure out what the plan was. Varsity Ford is denying covering the cost because the feel like it was not their employees fault however it had been 2 months that i had not had possession of the vehicle and now i am stuck without a vehicle and most likely higher insurance note because of the claim when i did not even have the vehicle. I just want **** to pay for the vehicle since it was in their possession while this happened. It's very unfair that I have been making payments on a car that i have not been able to use and now that it's totaled, they are just not willing to be responsible for the damages caused while their watch.
