Big o techs conned wife into buying 2 tires and we own awd SUV that requires 4 at the same intervals . I immediately notify them that this is not safe and will damage my car they continued for over 2 months to lie to me about having somemone comtact me . I have all the communications I've had with them through messages. A few weeks after they put the tires on and refused to take them off and put my old o ES back on and issue a refund well my transmission and transfer case failed I contacted them again and again they lied to me about someone contacting me . I took my SUV to the transmission shop we measured over 2 inch circumference difference. I informed big o that I have a TSB issued by Ford my employer that dates back to 2011 on tire circumference procedures for tire dealers to follow . The response I got was that big o refuses to review or acknowledge tsbs . That's alarming as tsbs are issued my the manufacturers for safety . I had my SUV fixed for 3000+ $ out of pocket and contacted big o the day I picked it up about the tires still being on there . I warned them this is dangerous and can hurt my new drivetrain the very next day from getting my SUV out of the shop the tires again caused binding to occur but this time it led to what should've been a fatal accident where as the awd system done it's job but the tires being off by so much made the SUV bind a three in into 3 360 degree spin and slammed the concrete median totaling my vehicle and injuring my wife. I've documented all messages with big o and have much more evidence related to this case that I'm unable to add in this description because I'm running out of allowed characters remaining . I did contact big o again and sent photos of my crashed SUV and suddenly they now won't respond back at all . I think this justifies a full investigation into there refusal to review tsbs and full reimbursement for all my.
Rear back hatch cracked when purchased, promised to be fixed by dealership, but they never honored their promise. I have since seen several Mercury Mountaineers with the rear back hatch cracked as well, wondering why their wasn't a recall?? also transmission problems, already replaced transfer case and now power steering is leaking.
