This dealership is a scam, my car isn't even safe to drive because the (PSM) needs to be replaced and none of the modules are communicating but somehow they passed the inspection. I bought this car as is 2/24/26 and 2 days later it started overheating. I took to Big Al's like they recommended and Big Al's replaced the coolant assembly the car was still overheating so Big Al's recommended the electrical shop and I took it to them. Tidewater Auto Electric didn't find any electrical problems. So I took it to Dave's Tire and Auto center and they said the PSM needs to be replaced and all of the module because they are no longer communicating with each other. That's not safe and yet carland sold i

Within the last year I have replaced the right and left inner and outer tie rods, bought 4 new tires, maintained alignment and shortly after replaced the power steering hose and the driveshaft. Knowing I maintain my vehicle well, I drove myself and 4 friends 900 miles and the power steering fluid began leaking again. Mechanic tells me the rack and pinion needs replaced.I can hardly believe all this is wear and tear but it certainly caused a safety concern for me and my passengers. Now, another $2000

On February 22 our Ford Edge exploded in our driveway. We had only been home 15 minutes at the most when we heard the explosion. The vehicle was not running. We went outside and the vehicle was fully engulfed with flames. It was completely burned down to the metal and did over $7000 in damages to our home. It was parked in our driveway next to the home. Again, the car was not running. We have contacted the Ford Motor Company, but they keep giving us different dates on when we should hear from them. We have not had any prior issues with the vehicle and there wasn't any warning signs or any smell of gas anytime before the incident. The only recall we received was about the airbag and we took
