Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:I had no choice but to pay the overcharge in order to leave with my vehicle.  Only later did I discover the incorrect installation.  Yes, I took the vehicle elsewhere to correct the installation error.  After already being treated badly and having lost time and money at this business, why would anyone go back for more such treatment?  Maxwell continues to be completely unresponsive regarding the inferior equipment used and the incorrect installation.  Why won't anyone from Maxwell return my calls or messages to discuss the situation?  Alternatively, I welcome an opportunity for arbitration.

I am rejecting this response because: The answer given by Ford Maxwell was not substantiated by true facts, I added pictures for your review, consideration and action. First of all, on May 2nd the salesman stated that the vehicle was DETAILED (please see pictures of the floormat, I have more pictures of the "detailed" vehicle showing the dirty floors, the hairy consoles, dirty radio with dog hair, etc., if needed), he also stated that the vehicle had one crack on the window and EASY to fix (I actually had to replace the entire windshield because it had 3 major cracks from the left bottom corner across to the top right corner and a big one across the middle, causing the vehicle to be completely unsafe to drive (specially in Arizona).  The carpets were not shampooed, it seems like they washed the carpets and did not dried them appropriately, causing to smell like mildew and dog odor. There's is dog hair everywhere still, the console, radio, gauges cover, etc have dog hair and was not cleaned, and is DEFINITELY not DETAILED. This company took advantage of my deployment overseas and inability to see, drive and get this car in conditions. I probably wouldn't have purchased this vehicle if I had seen the car from the get go. During the time I purchased this vehicle on EBAY I was told I was getting a very good car and a very good deal, however it was the opposite. I was advised to get the entire carpet replaced due to possible mildew (which my wife and 7 year old are allergic to). Needless to say your answer (Maxwell Ford) is not justified and your business practices are completely dishonest. I have more pictures in case you need them.  The salesman test drove the vehicle and obviously he may have noted the vehicle to steer to the right (possibly an alignment issue) but decided to state the vehicle "drives really good", he also stated that the car was inspected and it was good to go. I ask you to re-as your response and act with integrity. I would had paid the asking price for a vehicle in conditions, in my 16 years of military service I've never encounter a company so dishonest trying to get a couple hundred dollars from a regular buyer. if I agreed to take the car with a window crack, it was because the salesman stated that it was an EASY fix, you tell me how easy is to FIX a completely inop windshield?, needless to say I ask to reconsider your response, 600 dollars will not cover half of the repairs that I will have to deal with.  Window repair cost me already 186.50, the handle was 17.79 OEM, detailing the car will be between 140 and 160, the alignment will cost between 89.90 to 120, new carpet (800) and installation (750) totals 1,550. All the repair add up to 2K, and 600 will only cover less than half, either way this is not about the money but the PRINCIPLE of honesty and business integrity. Regards,

Mrs. [redacted],                 The vehicle in question for [redacted] is a 2003 Ford Expedition and unfortunately it’s in very poor condition due to the age and millage of the vehicle. We did a repair that the customer...

approved it involved replacing the positive battery cable harness and battery  because of excessive corrosion thru the assemble and  replaced the battery faulty. I have attached a copy of the repair order for the repair that was completed in addition to the know your vehicle report on the vehicle in question. She did invest the minimal  amount of money to get the vehicle running and that was ok, because the vehicle is not worth investing $5000.00 in repairs, it would be recommended to use that towards a new or used vehicle. The exterior / interior had a lot of damage, you may want her to supply you pictures of the vehicle in and out so you can under the condition.                 We were aware of the water intrusion, because after spending money for a repair we wanted to run it thru the complementary car wash. As our driver was driving the vehicle thru the car wash it began to leak at a fast rate thru the sunroof and we took it out of the car wash ASAP. We vacuumed the water out with our wet / dry vacuum and inspected why it was leaking. It was leaking because the sunroof drain pan drains were plugged with debris. We unplugged them at no charge to the customer and sent it to our detail department to finish cleaning the vehicle. We had to be very careful with the  vehicle because of several rips / tears in the interior. The oil that was found in the vehicle was coming from a Pennzoil bottle that was shoved under the seat. We do use or carry Pennzoil in our facility. We did our due diligent to make the best of a unfortunate situation and absorbed additional cost correction her sunroof, detailing her vehicle best as possible. I do not recommend investing any serious dollars in this vehicle due to its current condition. We do not feel any refund in due nor any other services owed. Thank you, [redacted] Service Director Maxwell Ford

I am rejecting this response because: the repair charges where not waranted,and the treatment unjustified. Regardless if they use that oil in their shop does not matter. They can look at their cameras I went to pick up my vehicle and it was left in that condition I was never notified of certain repairs and they noted I declined repairs for some repair and charged me almost 800.00 for a battery repair.  When declining repairs to the suspension. They left my vehicle  in the condition it was in, I wanted them to check my sdm  because of the water intrusion they said they did, which is another lie because now I have a vehicle with an airbag light on. If it blows in my face, I will be contacting an attorney. I dont believe they checked anything. I have taken my vehicle to another shop for repairs given them the diagnostic  form provided by the dealership  and the showed me where the repairs I was quoted were not correct. I am sorry theater Mr. [redacted] feels my vehicle is not worth repairing, but I also have a problem with any manager or director that cant return a complaint call and advises others to do it for him. THIS DEALERSHIP  HAS DONE THIS NOT ONLY TO ME BUT SEVERAL  OTHER PEOPLE  IN  AUSTIN. They over charge and in my cause I declined a repair and the soaked my vehicle. I was told that they run the car through a wash but prior to release it should be inspected if my vehicle had been it would not have been returned in the condition  it was in.

[redacted]

We diagnosed the check engine light on the Dodge Ram 1500 that Mr. [redacted] purchased from us.  The problem that we diagnosed was the coolant bypass valve - and that is what we agreed to replace.  Mr. [redacted] asked to take his truck to Nyle Maxwell Dodge, (not associated with Maxwell Ford)...

instead of us repairing it.  Nyle Maxwell Dodge diagnosed the vehicle and replaced the reuctant sensor instead of the coolant bypass valve.  At the customer's request we paid this bill instead of the known issue that we had diagnosed of the coolant bypass valve.  This being the case, Nyle Maxwell Dodge or the customer, needs to pay for the original problem that we agreed to fix, because we have already paid to fix another issue at the customer's request.

Our used vehicle director, Ike Haines will be in touch with the customer to resolve the issue.
