Carman Ford Lincoln responded

Dear Mr. White, I am sorry to hear about your poor experience with our sales dept and the rep. I need to answer a few questions to see if I can Help. 1) when did you purchase the car? 2) When did you bring it in for the service concern to our service dept? 3) how many miles is on your car and what type of warranty did you receive with your purchase? Please help me help if I can . Sincerely, Larry Sales manager Carman

May 21, 2016 -

Cwhite2129 responded

Larry 1) I purchased the car on 3/7/16 2) It was serviced on 5/2/16 3) I had 44,000 miles approximately on the car

May 21, 2016 -

Carman Ford Lincoln responded

And what warranty came with your purchase? Larry

May 21, 2016 -

Cwhite2129 responded

I had a 2 month limited warranty. I was confused because it says on it that the "Engine; Cylinder block and all internal parts" are covered". The defective part was the UPPER ENGINE MOUNT.Warranty aside, it is extremely shady that I should have to pay for a part that I told the salesman was giving me trouble within a week or so of purchase. Something was missed before it was sold and I have gotten the brunt of the fallout.

May 21, 2016 -

Carman Ford Lincoln responded

Mr. White, We are never suree that our technician missed a problem on any used car when they check it. We do a very thorough check on all used cars so it must have been one of those occurrences whereby the problem started after we serviced it. The chances are more likely on a used car and that;s why we cannot cover everything and it's limited on whawe do cover. Did you fix it at our dealership and what was the exact amount you oaid if so?

May 22, 2016 -

Cwhite2129 responded

I understand that your technicians are usually reputed to be thorough. However, the first time I had the car idling for any period of time was the very next day after purchase when I had to fill up the low tires the dealer told me about the prior night. That is when I noticed the issue. It seems an awfully big coincidence that less than 24 hours after I bought the car it would suddenly gain this defect. I told the salesman about it within a week or so and he said he couldn't do anything about it and referred me to the Service Center. So I was blown off from the start. I just figured it would work out because of the warranty and because it was so soon after purchase. I was wrong. The engine bracket repair was $482.52 on 5/2/16.

Cwhite2129 responded

Also, I did get it repaired at the dealership, Carmen Ford Lincoln in New Castle Delaware. It is Ms. White by the way.

Carman Ford Lincoln responded

Ms. White. I will check into this further and reply with a response.
