If I could rate Team Ford 0 stars, I would. - dndaelectric
If I could rate Team Ford 0 stars, I would. This has been, without a doubt, the worst vehicle purchase experience of my life.
I purchased a 2018 Audi RS5 under the impression it was fully AMVIC-compliant and roadworthy. In reality, it has spent more time in service bays than on the road, and I’ve made more monthly payments while it was in the shop than I have while actually driving it.
From day one, this vehicle has had catastrophic issues:
Major oil leaks
A skid plate reinstalled with only 1 of 14 bolts
A damaged rear spring
A failing water pump
And now? The oil level is dropping again, and I’m experiencing turbo lag — likely pointing to failing turbos or piston ring damage
That’s after the vehicle was supposedly fixed at Audi — arranged by Team Ford — and declared compliant.
Despite this nightmare, the dealership now expects me to pay another $3,000 out of pocket, after I already paid nearly $4,000 for an extended warranty to cover these issues. Altogether, this car has racked up over $16,000 in repairs within weeks of purchase. And it STILL doesn’t run properly.
Their “solution”? A $1,000 Go Card — basically a glorified coupon for future business… after selling me a lemon.
I’ve now had to drop the car off 5 separate times, miss work, cancel travel plans, and chase people down just to get updates. This isn't service — it's gaslighting.
To anyone reading this: take this as your warning. If you’re buying a pre-owned vehicle, go anywhere else. Bring your own mechanic. Better yet, don’t step foot in this place.
This dealership has sold me a car that was unsafe, misrepresented, and completely unreliable, and I’m the one footing the bill for it. Unbelievable.
