    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    We purchased our fifth vehicle from Lone Star and my husband opted to purchase he insurance policy covering windshield replacement and rim repairs from the*******  Manager *****. It was late at night and the dealership was closing once we were finished. Last year we had our windshield replaced and ten days ago I contacted the dealership to book the rims for repair. I was informed that the **** would only be covered in the event that we had a road hazard such as a blown tire. This information was not shared with us by *****. After speaking with the service manager ********************* was directed to *******************, the pre-owned Vehicle manager who stated that ***** would have informed us of the conditions and closed with the statement that nothing further would be done. ***** also emailed, following Lone Stars script and telling me that she most certainly would have read out the conditions as so many people had complained about this omission that she took extra care to detail it. Our purchase was more than three years ago so and Given Cathys admission it may well be that we were one of the customers that were not fully briefed prior to spending an exorbitant amount of money on a policy that we are unable to utilize. Had we been made aware of the policy limitations we would have declined purchasing an expensive and unnecessary policy.

    I took my *** *** here for a slight gear slipping issue. Nothing showed up on their diagnostics. So they then go on to take a transmission fluid sample that I never saw and tell me based off that sample that my entire transmission needs to be fully replaced for $15,000. The car had no symptoms like a check engine light, grinding noises or burning smells that are common with a major transmission problem. So immediately red flags are going off. They go on to talk me out of transmission flush which should be the 1st step in this situation, they instead insist a flush would make the car run even worse. So after this red flag, I wanted a second opinion. They give the car back running worse and with starting issues it never had before to the point it needs to be towed back, not only that the car has a damaged front passenger wheel. Finally get the car back again and take it to get that second opinion, I tell the new mechanic the minor slipping issue and he recommends that we start with a transmission flush, they go ahead with the flush completely fixing the cars issues 100% Almost a month later and the car is still running like new. I have since filed a complaint about this misdiagnosis that seemed outright intentional with intent to scam $15,000 out of a gullible customer with the dealership and with ******** ******, along with a complaint about my damaged wheel and $340 tow bill I was left with, I have basically been told tough luck and that the other mechanic only temporarily fixed my transmission and theyre standing behind their blatant misdiagnosis, which I should take their word for it. The dealership and ******** ****** continue to not take any responsibility for anything while my car continues to run perfect almost a month later, while the damage to my wheel and the tow bill were/are being completely brushed off and ignored. Easily the most unprofessional and dishonest establishment Ive ever set foot in.
