I purchased a new Ford Mustang Mach-E from Freedom Ford - Vitor
I purchased a new Ford Mustang Mach-E from Freedom Ford and, unfortunately, the experience after the sale has been extremely disappointing.
When I took delivery of the vehicle, I later discovered it already had over 800 km on the odometer. While I had been told the vehicle would be transferred from another dealership, I was never informed that it would arrive with this amount of mileage. Based on the vehicle's charging history, it appears it may have been driven from Calgary to Edmonton rather than transported.
For me, and for many friends and family members I have spoken with, receiving a "new" vehicle with more than 800 km already accumulated is not what most customers would reasonably expect. Highway driving exposes a vehicle to risks such as rock chips, windshield damage, tire wear, road debris, and general wear and tear before the owner ever takes possession. Instead of acknowledging these concerns, I was repeatedly told that this was normal and acceptable.
I also discovered that the Ford Service Contract documentation listed the vehicle's odometer reading as 24 km, which does not reflect the actual mileage at delivery. Despite requesting clarification, I have not received a satisfactory explanation.
There were also issues surrounding a protection package that was sold to me. The package was verbally described as including protection for the hood, front bumper, and side fenders, but the installed protection did not match what was discussed. During a subsequent meeting, I was told I would receive a refund, yet I never received written confirmation or any follow-up regarding that commitment.
What has been most frustrating is not just the issues themselves, but the lack of communication and accountability afterward. My last conversation with the dealership was unpleasant enough that I requested all future communication be conducted by email.
I want to acknowledge that some members of the sales team were courteous and initially appeared willing to help. However, the overall handling of these concerns has left me feeling disappointed and unsupported after making a significant financial purchase.
I hope Freedom Ford improves transparency, documentation, and post-sale customer service so future customers do not have to go through a similar experience.
