I recently took the vehicle to Maclin Ford to repair the driver's seat aircon (2nd warranty repair). This resulted in the seat now not adjusting into its programmed setting. Every time I start the vehicle, I have to reconfigure the seat and steering wheel from their most pushed back position (pre-programmed setting are unresponsive). Furthermore, the vehicle was smoked in, we're non-smokers and the vehicle smelled significantly like cigarette smoke when I picked it up and for the next few days. Also, both front seat setting were altered, indicating a passenger. The driver's side inside of door was smeared with mud and the driver's side floor mat and carpet have sand on them; the vehicle was recently detailed, and was very clean when I dropped it off. A significant amount of fuel was also consumed - for a seat warrantee and climate control recall?! This indicates that then vehicle was used while awaiting parts. Driver's side door also has a new scratch. Finally, the last detail resulted in a very smudged (and dangerous) front windshield, I requested that it be rectified, it wasn't. The detail was also not a detail, rather a simple wash without spray wax.
For a less than 2 year old SUV, with just over 10K Km on it - thus far:
From Sept 2016 to June 2018:
- 2 x recalls (rear differential and CO issue with .
- 2 x 2nd row seat malfunction servicing (motor efective), 1st service resulted in 0 repairs.
- 2 x Front driver's seat Aircon malfunction (warrantee), 1st service resulted in 0 repairs.
- 1 x very badly performed alignment post rear differential recall - dangerous.
- Alignment pulls to left since Winter / Summer tire change in May (unresolved issue).
- Badly smudged front and rear windshields post detailing (not resolved).
June 2018:
Front Driver's seat programmed adjustment malfunction (caused by 2nd front seat aircon repair - not resolved).
This represents 6 unscheduled service drop offs. I requested of Tom Westlake (Service Manager)forward me the contact e mail for the regional service manager in Edmonton in order to request Metro Ford perform further repairs. Tom simply ignored my requests.
I am truly in disbelief of the misuse of our property along with the significant cost of time and fuel. I have a serious issue with the quality, maturity and discipline of the service department techs and leadership. read more
