SouthWest Ford Weatherford

Let me begin by saying that I am not one to write reviews and understand that there is routine maintenance when it comes to vehicles and was not expecting a perfect used car. And. I know that used cars need and understand that there is routine maintenance when it comes to vehicles and was not expecting a perfect used car. And. I know that used cars need things routinely fixed or replaced. That being said...Went to Charlie Gilchrist Southwest Ford right at 7 months ago and bought a 2013 Ford Escape from this dealership. Upon test driving car noticed a few issues with it and was told that these were because it was a short wheel base and other open ended reasons that were due to it being the type of car that it was. Upon asking how many points of inspection it goes through before putting it on their lot to sell the guy tells me "like an 80 point inspection." Was told later all the things that were needed to be fixed had been fixed including a door lock recall. Kinda funny because a lady prior to while driving a "2013" F-150 told my wife and I that "they do a 110 point inspection. Turns out that the 2013 was really a 2009 upon my closer look at truck. Then went back a few days later to look again. No models I was looking for in trucks were there so they showed us a 2013 Escape. We let them know that we were pre-approved for a loan that would cover total cost by way of co-signer. Yet they ran my credit with at least 8-10 different places trying to get me approved. Didn't know they were doing that. And w/out my permission because I didn't need their financing. Lowered my not so great credit to the least it could be and knocked co-signers credit from high 800s to low 700s. After going to bank to finish paperwork for my pre approved loan and telling them at dealership. They say that they will have it ready for me in about 2 hrs. I pick up car after they do something with it across the street, wash I think, maybe oil change, remove dealer stickers, etc. I leave with car. Pulling out of the lot the brakes screeched extremely loud and when accelerating engine revs almost to red line. Get home and start looking at car and begin to discover that there are 18 things I find wrong with it including: very dark (burnt) brake fluid, transmission fluid was a quart low, idles very roughly due to broken engine mount, enough to make hood violently shake near wipers and throughout entire car, plus misfire, yet system check says ok, computer may have been set so that it won't read codes properly, very low rpm idle setting (programmable) to compensate for shaking I'm sure, front right tire jerks very hard to the right pulling car towards the side of road esp. when accelerating as tire hits a dip or bump in road, feels quite unsafe, shock/struts on 1 to 3. or all tires are worn out, also unsafe, due to high rollover possibility, extreme wear on tires from no shock absorption from bad shocks, already need two new front tires, turbo leaks oil, seatbelt is very slow to retract, both batteries in key fob died less than a month later after purchase, rear windshield wiper was rubbing metal to glass upon purchase, has no skid plate to protect underside of engine, also missing skid plate causes car to swerve quit a bit from turbulence as air passes underneath, can hardly hold vehicle in straight line at 55mph on a non windy day, drivers side wing mirror indicator loose causing it to whistle while driving, also found hole in underside of muffler by noticing that the exhaust doesn't drip because it's dripping from that hole, and blower motor for a/c and heating is broken and spins unbalanced causing loud noise and strong vibration in dash. Found a dead mouse in cabin air filter compartment. After having noticed the stench. Most likely the cause of broken blower motor fan. What a coincidence that the Ford Warranty department has continued to blow my ph up NEARLY EVERY SINGLE DAY SINCE DAY ONE. Having had returned to Ford house I told someone there about what I've just written as he was getting my new license plates and he said "there's nothing that can be done because it's too far into the deal." So either the inspector was at fault, the car just happened to make it by without 18 things wrong with it being noticed, or they rely on most people that get an extended warranty to have the buyer bring in their car for a discounted oil change and then tell them about problems that they found that they already knew about prior to. So that they can make a max profit and not have to fix car before selling to buyers. What a sham(e) ! BAD BUSINESS ETHICS. VULTURES. Don't buy a car from a lot that pays the car salesman by commission. I will NEVER buy a car from them again ! And will most certainly tell everyone that I can possibly tell (which is a considerable amount of people) to rethink their purchase from these guys. I do not wish to be contacted and told some B.S. when it comes to the possible inquisition of this matter unless Charles Gilchrist himself or current owner(s) would like to make it right. More
