Dealership Service Review

Awful experience

Be warned, we brought our mustang in for a check-up right before the warranty expired. The gear shift had been broken for awhile (the plastic part that covers it had come loose). They charged us to fix that, because the problem was apparently spilled liquid, fine. Mentioned the car "jumps" when shifting to reverse. They claimed to have repaired that under warranty. Two days later, the car freaked out, and when we put it in drive, it would reverse; park was drive, and we couldn't put the car into "park". Confused? So were we. Fritts sent a tow-truck (begrudgingly) and claimed to have fixed it (still under warranty). A week later, the car began "jumping" back in reverse again. Now it was out of warranty. We brought it into fritts, and they refused to fix it. They wanted us to pay $2000 because we "hadn't mentioned the issue before". The service manager said this is a "very common problem and would have happened regardless of any services provided prior to the warranty expiring". This would have been nice to know before purchasing a Ford. I'm infuriated by the awful level of service. Seems like a scam. Buy your Ford somewhere with higher ratings.
