    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    Four years ago I purchased my 2018 **** from Dave Smith Ford. With the purchase came with a Lifetime Powertrain Warranty as long as I performed tire rotations and oil changes every 5000 miles. Truck is now at 75,000 miles w/ transmission issue and on 3/26/24 Dave Smith quoted me $4400 for what they “thought” needed to be done to repair the transmission (replace seals might be the issue). Five days later they told me my powertrain warranty was void because I missed TWO tire rotations (zero missing oil changes). When I told my service advisor that that they were incorrect and that my **** Pass App service history DID show a tire rotation on at least one of those two visits I was told my information was incorrect and that I needed the hard copy paperwork from my Dave Smith visit from 3 years ago to prove it and obtain my warranty. Keep in mind, over the past 4 years I visited the dealer every 5000 miles for not only oil changes and tire rotations but also brakes, new tires, battery and automatic starter. Along with refusing to cover the work they charged me $201 for diagnosis to quote me the transmission repair which I then had performed somewhere else for obvious reasons.

    My brother and I contacted Dave Smith Ford in reference to having his power steering serviced on his 2010 **** ******. We spoke with a representative that set up the appointment and provided the instructions on dropping the vehicle off before they opened. My brother was under the weather and wasn’t able to keep the appointment, so he called to reschedule. Surprisingly we were told that there was no appointment in the system and that they don’t service vehicles with 170,000 miles. Now if that is the case the representative needs to be trained on Dave Smith’s policies because she wasn’t aware of that when she scheduled the appointment. Or if it was the case that someone saw the appointment and removed it because they didn’t feel like working on my brother’s vehicle. Either way Dave Smith Ford provided horrible customer service because if there was an error in setting up the appointment they could have had the decency to give us a call to let us know. If my brother didn’t get sick, we would have had the vehicle towed to Dave Smith only to find out they refused to service the vehicle and would have had to have the vehicle towed back home, we would have wasted money towing the vehicle twice and it still not being serviced. I recommended Dave Smith to my brother due to a good experience I had and I felt very bad about the poor customer service that he received. He was in the market for a truck and found one that he really likes but due to this bad experience will not be going back there.
