Brought my Ford Edge in ,they had it 3 months , returned - renotwin
Brought my Ford Edge in ,they had it 3 months , returned in Oct 2022, they Replaced the PTU (Front Transfer Case) and changed the rear differential fluid. Upon finally getting it back, as soon as I drove it home it was making horrible noises from the rear of the SUV when making a tight turn, and when at highway speeds( felt and sounded like you were running over the marks on the side of the road... bump ,.bump, bump.) Brought it back, their experienced Ford trained mechanics drove it down the street and back, then put it on the lift, declared there was nothing wrong. Another mechanic drove with the 1st around the building and came up and said it was the rear axle failing and that it was because I had 2 different brands of tires on the car. All the same size, but the front axel has toyo and the rears had Goodyear's. So I put new tires on all around (2700 out of pocket) the noises were still there, looked at notes and receipt from them, they put the WRONG type of fluid in the rear axle/differential. Brought it back and after getting into an argument with the tall mechanic who claimed it's better fluid anyhow, and my reply was Ford doesn't list it as an acceptable fluid to use, they finally put the correct Ford authorized fluid in it. ....April 2023 comes around (6 months since repairs were finished) the $3500 dollar PTU that they installed, failed after several thousand miles, supposed to last 50,000 to 75,000 miles. Brought it to another local Ford Dealer, TS&S didn't fill the PTU with fluid, resulting in it failing. Great Ford Trained Mechanics TS&S has. The noise which they claimed was the rear axle due to tires being from different companies..turns out the rear hub on the driver's side was failing. The other dealerships real Ford trained mechanics spotted it as soon as they had it up on the lift. Impossible to miss the one said, maybe TS&S needs to send their mechanics to the other dealerships in the area and learn how to work on Ford vehicles. They also over tighted the bolts on the muffler/exhaust system with an air xxxxxxx, so much the other dealer can't get them removed. So they are ordering all new and will be fixing the horrible juvenile patch and repair job that TS&S did. I've been waiting for 3 months again for the other local Ford dealer to fix the damage that TS&S did, rental car costs are over 2 thousand dollars now, tires another 2700 that were NOT needed , and the cost of the original repair that TS&T was too incompetent to complete correctly. If you want to wait months, have wrong fluids put in your expensive Ford, shotty work, lied to your face, go to TS&S. Thank God the original PTU work was covered by an extended warranty that I had. I'd not recommend bringing a Hot Wheels Ford toy to this dealership, yet alone a real vehicle. They don't stand behind their work either. If you did you own me 7500 , I'll take that in cash please. 6 months of not having my SUV, but paying for insurance,payments and now rental fees to fix your so called professional work. You should be ashamed of yourselves .
