“I am here to report a complaint as to Lasco Ford Lasco Ford on 2525 Owen Road Fenton, MI 48430 holding my daughter's vehicle for several days to fix 2 recalls. She is 19 and they seem to be trying to take advantage of her in telling her other things that need repair rather than just fixing the recalls. Now they are saying she needs to pay a diagnostic fee to get her car back now that she will not spend the $1000 to repair everything, they say she needs.”
