      On December 15th I purchased a 2017 ford escape from trusty cars and credit under a license agreement. I put $1,000 down with 4 additional payments of $97.60 over the next four weeks that followed as part of my down payment. On December 20th the car began to jerk when being in gear so I called the service department to set up an appointment to have car looked at. My appointment was as set up for December 26th at 7am. The following day now December 21st me and my son were out doing Christmas shopping while at a red light the car began to smoke inside and outside. We both have health issues related our breathing and I am currently 8 months pregnant as well. I opened the sunroof and rolled all the windows down and drove the car to the nearest parking lot. My sister came and took my son and I then took the car to trusty’s cars and credit. Once there I requested to speak with the manager whose name is **** *****. He went out to the escape and could still smell the smoke himself. He than began making calls and the car was taken to the service department and I was placed into a rental car for the time being. Over the next few weeks I corresponded with shop fixing my car and the manager at Trusty’s. I was told the hold on getting the car fixed was the shipping of the transmission. On January 5th **** ***** called me and told me that he had bad news. The car would not be fixed until later this month around the 22nd and they were not willing to continue to pay for my rental until then and I had to come pick something else out or receive a full refund. Once I arrived at Trusty’s I tried to come up with ways to be able to stay in the escape. But that was not an option anymore. The manger then showed me 5 cars that he deemed comparable to the escape. The cars were older and had higher mileage and was simply not comparable. I decided to have my money refunded and collect my belongings out of the escape. Once I arrived at the shop I was told by the mechanic that the car would

      Highly do not recommend I went here a year ago Feb 10th and was very clear when stating I needed a car that was SAFE AND RELIABLE as I have kids that would be in it. Back in June the engine and radiator needed replaced covered on warranty that’s fine whatever. But now the power steering module needs replaced and that costs $2,200 that isn’t covered on warranty but the car had a recall for it THEY FAILED TO MENTION THIS RECALL. They don’t accurately count the miles, as I have a picture of when I first got the car there was over the mileage they stated that there were. So it’s either I pay them $1,500 upfront to get in a new car plus a down payment for the new car which if I could afford that I would just get the power steering fixed in this one. Bad service all around! Now I’m stuck paying $10,000 for this c***** Chevy Malibu that isn’t even worth it!

      Ms. ****** knew there was an open recall related to the safety belt lap anchor tensioner cable. She initialed the Carfax Vehicle History Report indicating that she was provided the information at the time of sale. That is the only open recall on the vehicle, and has absolutely nothing to do with the power steering module that needed replaced. We are sorry that the vehicle experienced vehicles soon after it was leased. This vehicle has over 120,000 miles and is 12 years old. Service issues will occur, which is why warranties are offered. Unfortunately, this the repair did not fall under warranty. It is our understanding that ******* has had the vehicle fixed, and it is now in good working order. We appreciate Ms. ******'s business and hope her experience from now on is much better. Thanks for the comments.
