Subject: Complaint against Ford Clermont Dealership - Delayed and Unethical Service I am writing this complaint to express my dissatisfaction with the service I have received from Clermont Ford dealership regarding the repair of my vehicle. My name is [XXX] , and on [XXX], 2024, I brought my car to your dealership in Clermont , Florida, due to faulty warning lights indicating a potential crash issue and malfunctioning mirrors. The vehicle drove fine. There was no other issues. I just wanted to get this taken care of. After inspecting my vehicle, Ford of Clermont dealership informed me that someone had backed into my car, causing minor damage that needed to be repaired. Consequently, I entrusted my vehicle to Ford of Clermont dealership for the necessary repairs. However, it has been an incredibly frustrating experience as my vehicle has now been at your dealership for almost a month and a half, with no end in sight. Throughout this period, I have made numerous visits to the dealership to check on the progress of the repairs. However, each time I arrived, the service representative assigned to my case was conveniently either on a break, out to lunch, or absent altogether. To exacerbate matters, the service representative provided me with a Google Voice phone number that he never answered, but would respond to via text message. This unprofessional behavior has left me feeling neglected and unheard as a customer. Despite my persistent efforts, I have been continuously given the runaround by your dealership. Whenever I communicate with the service representative, I am fed excuses about ordered wrong body parts or being incorrect or delayed. Additionally, my requests to speak with a supervisor have been ignored, as no supervisors have reached out to address my concerns. It is worth noting that after posting a negative review on Yelp, I was promptly contacted by the service department, claiming that there is an electrical issue with my veh INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5

Defect Description:
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
I have been having Ford try to resolve the safety systems from failing while driving for over 2 years. In October 2023 I took a settlement (hush money) for my time and effort, thinking that the safety systems were fixed. The dealership currently has had my vehicle for over 7 days and will not give it back until they have found a resolution (good for them). The dealer placed a buyback request with Ford Motor Co last week because of the extensive troubles, safety concerns and inability to resolve, however Ford has denied it because of the settlement. I am not wanting money, I am not wanting anything other than for Ford to take the vehicle back and pay off the loan. I have a teenage driver and I am at a point that the safety of this vehicle is putting myself, my daughter and OTHERS at risk every time it is driven on public roads. The lemon law attorney I used for the settlement refuses too help me any further stating the case is closed. I disagree that a vehicle with safety defects is OK to keep driving and that Ford Motor Co is OK with this. There is no short term or long term resolution to this matter, they do not know what is causing the system to malfunction. In every essence this is a lemon.

I have a teenage driver and I am at a point that the safety of this vehicle is putting myself, my daughter and OTHERS at risk every time it is driven on public roads. The lemon law attorney I used for the settlement refuses too help me any further stating the case is closed. I disagree that a vehicle with safety defects is OK to keep driving and that Ford Motor Co is OK with this. There is no short term or long term resolution to this matter, they do not know what is causing the system to malfunction. In every essence this is a lemon.
Additional Notes:
I have been having Ford try to resolve the safety systems from failing while driving for over 2 years. In October 2023 I took a settlement (hush money) for my time and effort, thinking that the safety systems were fixed. The dealership currently has had my vehicle for over 7 days and will not give it back until they have found a resolution (good for them). The dealer placed a buyback request with Ford Motor Co last week because of the extensive troubles, safety concerns and inability to resolve, however Ford has denied it because of the settlement. I am not wanting money, I am not wanting anything other than for Ford to take the vehicle back and pay off the loan.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
Pre-collision assist not working, despite multiple trips to dealership for this problem. Starting about 6 months ago, the Mach-E would periodically alert that the "pre-collision assist" was not working as a result of a front-camera fault. This was indicate by a visual indication on the dash of the front camera fault followed by "pre-collision assist unavailable" Recently, since recall 23B50 was performed on the vehicle, the pre-collision assist feature seems to not be working at all now. It's a safety risk to not have adaptive cruise control and pre-collision assist/emergency braking be unavailable.

Potential Consequences:
I experienced the issue described in NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V687000. I had loss of power on the highway. I felt that my safety was at risk immediately after I lost power on the highway where other drivers were driving 60-80 mph. I managed to pull to the side of the road and waited in excess of 2 hours for a tow truck issued by Ford to arrive. The issue was confirmed at the dealer. The reason for my complaint is that I made an appointment with Ford for 4/16 and was told the parts would arrive in 3-5 business days. After 9 business days, the parts still had not arrived, and I experienced the issue that I was hoping to avoid.

This work was completed along with numerous other software updates needed as indicated by dealership service department. Shortly after getting car back a "1Pedal Drive Fault - Press Brake Pedal To Reduce Speed" warning message was displayed on the instrument panel and the one pedal function quit working. This feature reset it self after the car was parked overnight. Yesterday while driving over many miles this same warning message appeared to happen again and the one pedal feature quit. This happened while vehicle was traveling in an active school zone very near a crosswalk being used by students. This could have been a very bad situation if not quickly going from one pedal braking to two pedal braking which is needed to stop the car.

This vehicle has 3 outstanding recalls: 21V711, 21V712, 23V687. The car was purchased new from Orchid Isle Ford in May 2021. They are the only electric vehicle Ford Dealer on Hawaii Island (they operate another non-electric vehicle dealership on the island). On [XXX] I had the annual maintenance performed. I requested that recalls 21V711 & 21V712 be done as well. the dealership declined and stated they would call me when they could do those recalls. They have never called. I started calling the dealership every 3 months beginning in Sept 2022. They have always refused to perform those recalls w/o explanation. In February 2024 I called to schedule the 36-month service and have all 3 recalls done. I was advised that the dealership could not do any of the recalls. I was called on Feb 23 by a person identifying themselves as the owner's sister (Mary) promising they'd make things right and asking for two weeks to arrange for the glass recalls to be done. I have had no contact since and have again been told by the service department that they can not and will not perform these recalls at any time regardless of where I bought the car. On [XXX], I emailed Ford Motor Company's CEO James Farley advising his office of the problem in getting three safety recalls performed on Hawaii Island. I have received no response from him, or any of the other emails sent to other officers of the Ford Motor Company nor have I even received an acknowledgment of receipt. At this point, I can only presume that Ford does not care if recalls are done. Recall 23V687 has the potential to strand me on rural roads where there is no cell service.
