BUYER BEWARE!!!!
We purchased a truck from this dealership in March/April 2024. We thought we were being taken cared of honestly. We talked with our salesperson about what we needed from a truck, which was to pull our camper trailer. He spent decent time with us, asked us all the right questions and found us a truck that could do everything we needed. It was a ford, not a GMC, but it was a bigger engine and within our price range. We were both hesitant with a 2020 truck that already had 70,000 miles on it, but we were assured that anything that may go wrong within the first couple of months would be covered by the limited warranty. Our salesperson even worked at great lengths that we got a good vehicle loan. Our sales person is not the problem, it's Murdock as a whole. They did NOT honor their limited warranty after the engine light came on 4 days after we purchased the truck. We took it in immediately, and the mechanic tech stupidly erased the codes before running them to see what was wrong. Instead of calling us, they took it upon their selves to drive OUR truck for an entire day. We dropped off at 8am and NO ONE called us. We called THEM at 4pm wondering what was going on with our new vehicle. We were told that engine lights do not come on automatically in the larger engines and that they may or may not reappear after being driven for 100 miles. So we took it home, three hours later, the engine light came back on. We got it read at AutoZone, learning that the code had to do with the catalytic converter. Took it back to the dealership the next day, they ran their own codes on the truck, agreed with the catalytic converter, then promptly said they do not cover catalytic converters in the warranty. We literally had this truck in our possession for less than a week! So much for bumper to bumper quality control inspections! We fought with Murdock, our salesperson fought for us as well, that this should be covered with our warranty, that this was not a result of us over using/abusing the vehicle. Murdock finally gave in and agreed to fix the problem. They kept our truck for days. We called after two weeks asking what the status was of our truck, they said that they don't want to work on our truck because it is a Ford, the ford dealership will not honor THEIR warranty, so we were to take our truck to an independent muffler repair shop that was to be paid by Murdock. This shop claims there was nothing wrong with the converter, and that did not know how to reset the engine light. Did he even look at it?
FAST FORWARD TO TODAY, we took the truck into Ford because the light is *STILL* on among other issues. Ford stated that the catalytic converter is the wrong size and quoted us for $4400 to fix this. We were also told that the catalytic was an aftermarket piece. So, once again, so much for bumper to bumper, quality control inspections.
Disappointed in Murdock would be an understatement. I'm livid! They sold us a faulty vehicle and will not repair it, in fact, they refuse to repair it.
I will tell anyone and everyone the shady dealings of Murdock Car Dealership! This is not right, this is not good... this is poor, poor customer service!
DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!!
