Tadd Jenkins Ford

I'm 75 never dealt with worst people in my life after buying a used car on 3/13/26.. Had it deliver on 3/17, me and my son took it for a ride and car had a shudder. Took it to Les Schwab thinking might be out of line, They said one of the tires had a bulge and the rest had dry rot on the outside. Said new tires would fix shudder, $529.92 Drove it home and muffler blew a hole in it, took it to my mechanic. 3/18 $346.48 I said to myself AS IS no warranty. I get buyer Beware. Sane day driving home still had shudder. Did my home work, found out the car 2012 Toyota had transmission problems for that year. Call Tad Jenkins and he said he would look into it on 4/6, Never got back call ever day for weeks.Finally a guy named Rob Carmichael called and we went back and forth. Asked what would make it right, I said fix it or give money back. I even said a would take another car, He said he could do nothing until he knew it had a problem and bring it in. I said it had a transmission problem and he sent a tow truck to pick it up. IT came 4/17. I guy called named Steve call from service dept and said he needed a $1000.00 to tell me what problem is. I said i thought it would be free. He matter of fact said it was sold as is. So i said tow it back, He said no way come and get it. Try calling Rob Tad or anybody said they were out of town or busy and would call me back None did! 4/12 me and my son went and got the car, I said did they notice a shudder, they said yes. I asked for a work order and was told they don't give them when a lawyer is involved. I never mention a lawyer, But thanks for the advice.

****BUYER BEWARE - DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM TADD JENKINS DEALERSHIPS**** This was the absolute WORST car buying experience I have ever had. They shipped (with absolutely no ETA and a driver that did not speak any English at all) me a car with multiple electronic issues (blinking odometer and a broken sound system). Cost me $1700 to fix and they said “nothing I can do”. You are completely on your own - even if they ship you a defective car. They do not disclose issues/problems with the cars they market, they have no accountability for their business practices and their customer service is awful. I will definitely report them to the Better Business Bureau, Idaho Consumer Affairs and the Federal Trade Commission.

I just had one question on a truck, whether it was a short or long box it wasn’t what I needed but then they kept trying to sell me vehicles I didn’t want when I was very specific of what I wanted

Bought a vehicle used Jeep based on pictures from the internet and on the verbal from Paul sales guy the car went through a complete inspection...could not go look in person 400 miles away. Picked up the vehicle on our way to daughters wedding and hooked to our RV. When we finally got to destination I went over the whole car and found out the rear seat center seat belt would not retract...safety issue and the driver door and rear driver side door locks not working. Paul emailed me and called to follow up and see if I was satisfied...6 days later (after our daughters wedding) I told Paul about the 2 issues...reply...sorry car is as is and we won't help you fix those items...goodbye. Granted I bought as is...I know what that means...but safety issues should never be in question. I am going to file a complaint with the Idaho Consumer Protection Unit and ID DMV unit that issues dealer licenses...I think they will be interested in knowing that Tadd Jenkins Ford in Blakefoot is selling vehicles with safety issues.
