**Summary of Complaint to Downtown Auto Group**
Robert VXXXXXXXXXe expresses deep dissatisfaction with the handling of a transmission issue in his 2022 Ford Transit 350 High Roof. After diagnosing a transmission valve body problem in August, he was told by Sacha at Downtown Ford that sourcing the necessary part would be difficult but safe to drive the van. This led to a transmission failure during Labor Day Weekend.
Despite finding the part himself, delays in repair and poor communication followed. Promised completion dates were missed, and after several rental vehicles, the van was returned without proper testing, leading to another transmission failure while in use. Robert highlights a lack of thorough road testing and concerns over safety standards, supported by documentation from another dealership, Polito Ford.
The ongoing issues have affected his business, which relies on the van, and he emphasizes the need for a prompt resolution and accountability from the Downtown Auto Group. He mentions that the mechanics' failure to properly repair the vehicle has jeopardized safety and his business's reputation. Robert plans to follow up with a phone call to discuss this issue further.
