After install I began hearing a high-pitched rotating noise on my side of the vehicle and an intermittent grinding when I brake. I noted this on the survey emailed to me. The service manager contacted me. I stated I couldn't take another day off to get the problem corrected. He provided a rental car. Called me the next day to say the problem had been fixed and I could pick up my vehicle. The problem wasn't solved. I called to let him know. He acted indifferent to the high pitched sound and admitted that the employee who test drove my vehicle after it was "fixed" heard the grinding but did nothing to investigate the source. My brakes still make these noises and when I buy a new vehicle next year I will have to travel further from home to do so. More

Did I get a lemon? Hi there, just wanted to express my concern about my Ford C-Max. It has been said to "never buy a car that is a new model to the company". Why? Becaus Hi there, just wanted to express my concern about my Ford C-Max. It has been said to "never buy a car that is a new model to the company". Why? Because they are still working out the glitches. Well I am finding that statement to be true in my case. I brought the C-Max Dec 29th, 2013. And I am beginning to think I have a lemon. It has had at least 4 recalls and more than 5 things that needed to be fixed. Now here we are again this time its major, the transmission has to be replaced. They say it's under Warranty but they have had my car for now, in 2 days, will be a month. They gave me a rental that is eating me up in gas money, which was why I brought the Hybrid in the first place to save on the gas, (my commute is long). At this point I'm worried about what else will break down. Do I need to sell this car back to you and buy non-American. A fearful customer; Karen Johnson. 443-622-1141 or johnsonkd47@Yahoo.com I hope to receive a response back. Thank you. Karen Johnson More
Very helpful I was traveling to New York with my sister on June 19th 2014 when my 2013 Ford Fusion had problems. I pulled into Purvis Ford-Lincoln around 4 pm. and I was traveling to New York with my sister on June 19th 2014 when my 2013 Ford Fusion had problems. I pulled into Purvis Ford-Lincoln around 4 pm. and Adam Zandi came to my rescue. Found my car's traction and airbags quit working and was un drivable. He said it was under warranty (18000) and he arranged for Ford to pay for a rental while mine was being fixed. Kept me informed. I couldn't have asked for a better Ford Dealership and all in service and parts department that helped me. I thank God everyday for leading me to Purvis Ford. More

Most Frustrating "Service" Experience In My Life My wife recently had a couple of problems with her 2011 Ford Edge where the drivers side door would not register that it was closed, and the lift gate My wife recently had a couple of problems with her 2011 Ford Edge where the drivers side door would not register that it was closed, and the lift gate on the back of the car would not hold itself open. After scheduling an appointment online and never receiving confirmation that her appointment was accepted (website said she would receive an email confirming) she finally called prior to taking her vehicle in to ensure they were expecting her vehicle. Apparently the appointment had been scheduled, but all the service employees were too busy to respond to her. When she took her car in to drop it off she explained the aforementioned problems, and was assured that they would figure out exactly what the problems were and that they be covered under her warranty. Several hours later they called her to tell her that they had determined the cause of both problems, and that they in fact were not covered under warranty and it would cost over $400 to fix both problems. She quickly declined and we went to pick up her car. Once we got to the dealership to pick up her car we were informed that it was a minimum $100 "service" charge since they looked at her car, even though nothing had been fixed. After talking with a service rep named Adam, and he said over and over again that he had never even hinted to my wife that these problems would be covered by warranty, and that he had supposedly clearly explained that regardless of the outcome of the "services" they provided, we would be charged a minimum fee of $100 for their time. If that had been the case, we would not have gone there, so for him to say that is the same as calling my wife stupid. After about 10 minutes of back and forth with Adam, I finally accepted my fate that we had done business with a shady dealership that only cared about the one time sell and not repeat business. So with my blood boiling, I paid the fee so we could leave before I lost my temper. This was not my first bad experience with Purvis Ford, but it will be my last dealings with any Ford dealership, as I do not plan to ever again purchase a Ford product, and will recommend that my friends follow suit.

In January 2012, I bought my used 2005 Ford Expedition and a two year Ford Base Care extended warranty from Cowles Ford. Purvis Ford is more convenient so on 8/13/2013, I took the vehicle there for diagn and a two year Ford Base Care extended warranty from Cowles Ford. Purvis Ford is more convenient so on 8/13/2013, I took the vehicle there for diagnosis of a transmission noise, excessive cycling of the air conditioner issue and for an issue with my dealer installed aftermarket Ford security system which caused the alarm to activate for no reason. After leaving the vehicle for several days, I returned to pick up the vehicle and paid the $150.00 diagnostic charge. They could not duplicate the transmission noise (I still hear it), the alarm situation had not been investigated, and they advised that the refrigerant may be low on the a/c but they needed another $120 to diagnose the system. They did include a "complimentary multipoint inspection which according to their paperwork included a brake system check which included brakes lines, hoses, and parking brake. Because I was upset that the all the requested work had not been complete, I got to speak with the shop foreman who advised that the cycling of the a/c was not normal. On my own, I checked and added refrigerant, but the system continued to cycle excessively. So I took the vehicle back in for a/c and alarm work. I paid the $120 to diagnose the a/c and another $150 to fix the alarm. They advised that the a/c was now fine (contrary to what the shop foreman told me). The alarm again activated randomly. After repeated attempts to get them to fix the alarm (at considerable inconvenience), they finally advised that they could not fix it, but only could remove it for another $200. When asked if they could apply the money I spent to fix the alarm (with negative results) to the removal fee, Service Manager Scott Lester declined. $270 and no corrective action taken. On 12/17/2013, I had a complete brake brake failure caused by a ruptured front brake line. My wife called Frank Stewart to assess whether the ruptured line would be covered under my warranty. He could not find any records regarding my Ford Expedition! He then advised that the brake lines were not covered under the warranty. So we had the vehicle repaired at a local garage where I had left the vehicle after brake failure. By simply looking at the Ford Base Care warranty brochure, I then determined that brake lines were specifically included in the warranty. The next day I called Purvis and while Frank Stewart was not there, the other service writer immediately found my vehicle in their database! Frank Stewart later advised that the brake lines were not covered because rust was the cause of failure (although they never saw the brake lines) and rust was considered an environmental problem which was excluded from the warranty. Frank Stewart further advised, that it was important to have lines inspected regularly. I found it interesting that in the four month period from Purvis' "multipoint inspection" (which included a check of the brake lines), the front line had now rusted so significantly as to cause a catastrophic failure of the braking system. Bottom line, Ford would not allow my warranty claim. My impression of Purvis' service is horrible and if at all possible I will never take my vehicle there again. I am completely dissatisfied and will tell everyone of my poor experiences with them. More
First of all, my SUV seems to be completely fixed. After leaving the service center and driving around for about 30 minutes, none of the issues that were "normal" to the operation of the vehicle prior to se leaving the service center and driving around for about 30 minutes, none of the issues that were "normal" to the operation of the vehicle prior to service displayed. Granted, it's been less than 24 hours, but at the very least, things are much improved. I was most impressed with the service I received from Adam. He was professional, courteous, and helpful. He neither talked over my head (amazing considering I know little about cars) nor talked down to me. He patiently answered all my questions, and even explained a couple of things I thought I understood to make sure we were on the same page. He gave me options, explained the pricing very well, and ultimately did what we wanted without argument or negativity. He kept me informed on each stage of the process, staying true to his word. And the final price at checkout--came in $10 less than what I was quoted. Awesome job, Adam! More
