Purchased car on March 4, 2025. Noticed tmps dashboard light was on, returned 3/5/2025, Ford replaced tire senor, light was still on, they replaced 4 tire senors. But did not replace all untill 4/19/2024, that is when I noticed a bubble and crack on tire and a broken sway bar link. Also they did not inspect my car within 7 days, they inspected it on 3/14/2025. No rejection sticker put on, so I was driving the car Honda without any sticker until they replaced another senor. Told me the tmps light would go off after I drove the car around. 24 Ford of south easton of easton, MA sold me a 2010 Honda Fit that has a driveshaft recall for corrosion. Also, faulty tire senors, replaced but dashboard tmps light is still on, lied about giving me a new tire, tire has bubbles on it and they put tire on rim facing in toward car wheel hub so it won't be visible, I noticed this and a broken sway bar link. Ford let me drive an unsafe car off the lot. They didn't offer to fix it, I went to axp auto , paid $183. 00 to fix the sway bar link, then to a tire shop to get a new tire . I went to Honda dealership and they replaced the driveshaft and gave me a $2000. 00 estimate of safety repairs that need to be fixed. Six weeks after I brought car, transmission engine light is constantly on. . . Many other thing wrong. Axle shaft r&r, front pads and rotor, 4 tires, dirty air filter, old oil filter black oil. Now transmission pressure senor needs replacement. List is long. Axp auto also gave me a $2,000. 00 quote on repairs, transmission fluid pressure switch gasket, etc. Steering tie rods, replace brakes. This Honda Fit is a deathtrap and I am scared to drive it. 24 Ford should have replaced driveshaft before I purchased car. They swindled me on the sales contact as I didn't know they charged me $6200. 00 in warranty, I was able to cancel one warranty total of $2000. 00, as t didn't cover brakes and other repairs, such as powertrain. Offered no gap to me. 24 Ford is bad.
On [xxx], I down payment for the purchase of a 2010 Honda Fit, for $6,258. 00 with 24 Ford of easton, 703 washington st. , south easton, MA 02375. License motor dealer , on [xxx], the tmps dashboard light was on. . . Ford replaced them, but as presently ([xxx]) light is still on, they told me tmps would go off after I drove car around.
