      I purchased a 2020 X5 from Huntington location. It came with the remainder of the manufacturers warranty which expired September 2023.In March 2023 I ****** the car in due to the check engine light. It was determined that the cause was the lower air flaps but they did not repair it because they claimed it was not defective, which was odd considering the check engine light was on.I was told it was a computer error in the car and not to be concerned.They reset the light and within 2 weeks it came back on.I contacted them again and was told not to worry about it because they already determined it was nothing.This went on for a few months.Then in September I brought the car in for a *** inspection and mentioned the light still being on.The car did not pass inspection originally and they had to "set readiness codes."When I picked up the vehicle the check engine light was not on but within a few weeks it came back on.I contacted them in November regarding the matter and brought the car back to service in December.I was then told the lower air flaps needed replacing and the cost was $1,650.I reminded them that I brought the car in for this issue in March while it was under warranty and was told not to worry about it.Now all of a sudden right after the warranty expires I need to replace it but didn't need to from Mar - Sept when the check engine light was on and it was under warranty?!On 1/4/24 I left without authorizing the repairs and contacted BMWNorth America.They contacted Habberstad and spoke to someone who lied and said there was no prior issue with the lower air flaps or check engine light.I explained that I have a work order that proves it but they said there was nothing they could do about it.Around 1/14/24 my car would not start and I got an overheating error message telling me to wait 2 min to start it.I waited and tried restarting but it wouldn't and this went on for about 2 hours. Now I'm told I need a new starter for $2000 which I know is due to repairs not being made in March.

      Was contacted by the dealership multiple times in response to a ***** Blue Book Instant Cash offer to purchase my 2018 low mileage pickup truck. I followed all of the online instructions. Following my online submission outlining the vehicle condition and photos, I was told the last step was to go to the dealership for a final inspection. The intent of the inspection is to confirm the mileage and vehicle condition. No defects were found with my vehicle. The information submitted was completely accurate. *********** *** refused to honor the instant cash offer. This is nothing more then false advertising and bait and switch practice to lure customers into their dealership under false pretenses.
