  I recently purchased a used ***** CRV 2018 (financing) from your dealership. Less than 24 hours after taking delivery, I noticed the check engine and other warning lights appeared on the dashboard, and the car failed an emissions test. I returned to the dealership, and those issues were addressed during my visit on Tuesday.However, after returning home Tuesday evening, I discovered a significant oil leak under the engine. This issue is serious and raises concern about the vehicles mechanical condition and roadworthiness.I am still well within the 15-day / 500-mile limited warranty, and I have booked a service appointment for 7:30 AM on Wednesday and dropped of the vehicle, I have sent emails documenting this and have photos of oil leak and report from AutoZone.

  I purchased a vehicle from ** Napleton Maserati in ****************, ** on 31 January 2025. I did not receive the title paperwork until the second week of April; my temp tags had already expired (07 April). Also, when I picked the vehicle up from the dealer I was told by the salesman (******) that they would be sending me a second key fob. It is now late July, and I still have no key fob. I have had multiple text conversations with the finance manager there, who continually tells me that he is relaying the message to ****** and ****** (sales manager), yet I can never get a callback. When I call the business to leave a message, I get no callback. The last times I have attempted to contact the sales manager, he has stopped responding as well.

  I bought a car 2012 **** TTs from Napleton's ************************************************ Dealership on 7/10/24.I asked the ***** (Salesman) when I was checking the car if the car was modified & if he knows the history. He didn't gave a straight answer. He just handed me the Carfax. In June this year. I received a notice for Vehicle Emissions Test. So I went to get the car tested and the car did not Pass the emissions test. I was advised by the Emissions Test person to get the car check by a Certified Mechanic. I took the car to **************************** in **********, **. store #:906370 where they did the inspection of the car & found that the car was modified, No check Engine light on - Monitors not ready/not supported for Emissions, Found no Catalytic Converter on the car, Catless Down Pipe, Car is Tuned to remove Monitors.On July 2nd 2025, I went to the Car Dealership and talked to ******* ******* (Service Director) about the issue. He took pictures of the Emissions Test results and the estimate of the repair from ****************************. He told me that he will talk to his General Manager about the issue. I asked him when I will know from him the discussion with his manager and he told me that he'll call in the afternoon of July 2nd or the next day July 3rd 2025. I never got the call from **** and I called him 4 times, left voicemail and he never called me back.I'm asking a big favor to help me resolve this case so that I can have my car Pass the Emissions test and be able to renew the Vehicle Registration which expires this month July 2025.I'm looking forward to your kind consideration of this matter.Regards,***** *****

  Napleton's ****************** of Chicago takes the quality of their inventory and the safety of its clientele very seriously. As such, every vehicle is thoroughly inspected before sale. Our records indicate no pre-existing conditions with this vehicle, which would account for the problems experienced by ***** *****, however. Unfortunately, it was over a year from the purchase of the vehicle when Mr. ***** brought it in for diagnosis, resulting from a failed emissions test. Our examination at that time indicated that the catalytic converter, while present, had been modified, and the vehicle's diagnostic system had been set to a state in which the emissions system was not being monitored for such alterations. These conditions would have been evident in our inspection, and yet no record of such conditions exists. That, in combination with time, makes it impossible for us to verify Mr. ******* claims. We will be happy to work with him on preferential pricing for any needed repairs, but such would be the limits of our ability to assist him in this matter.

  I purchased a Certified Pre Owned 2023 ******* Tucson from Napleton ************** on 5/31/2025. My salesperson was ***** ****** and I also worked with the manager, ****. The leather on the driver's seat was ripped when ***** showed me the car, and ***** and **** agreed that the dealership would replace the driver's seat cushion after sale. They said they would either order the part, or take a seat cushion off another car on the lot and then I could come back after sale to have the seat cushion replaced. This was agreed to in writing via the "we owe" form (attached).I attempted to contact ***** and **** via phone somewhere between three and five times in June, asking for an update and when I could bring the car in. All voicemails were left unanswered until the last one, after I told them I would be filing a BBB complaint. ***** called me and texted me on 6/28/25, apologizing for the delay and told me the seat cushion was on site and ready for replacement.On 7/8/25, I brought the car into the service department, as ***** had told me to come in at 8AM for the replacement. When I spoke with the staff in the service department, they said they had no seat cushion had been ordered by sales, only a seat cover, and that if I wanted a seat cushion replacement, the sales department would need to order one. Later that day, I left messages for both ***** and **** asking for assistance, and I got no response.I would like my driver's seat cushion replaced, as agreed to in writing at the time of vehicle purchase. Additionally, as an accomodation given I live far from the dealership and spent 2 hours coming down when the seat cushion wasn't ready as I was told, I would like either a) for the dealership to pick up and drop off the car from my home for this repair or b) to have the service done at a Napleton location closer to my home.

  We appreciate the opportunity to respond to Mr. ******* ******** concerns regarding his vehicle purchase from Napleton's Ellwood City ******** Dodge Jeep Ram. After reviewing our records, we can confirm that Mr. ****** purchased a pre-owned, certified vehicle. At the time of sale, he also opted to include a 3-year/36,000-mile extended service contract.
  
  We understand that multiple repairs can be frustrating. However, we remain committed to assisting Mr. ****** within the boundaries of his service contract and our dealership's policies. We welcome the opportunity to inspect the vehicle and coordinate with the warranty company to help resolve this matter.
  
  Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to clarify our position and provide support where appropriate.

  On 5/20/25 I ordered a starter from the parts **** the shipped it on 5/23/25 and it was received on 5/25/25 by my wife who at the time did not know what I had ordered a couple days later when I went to open the box in preparation of repairing my jeep the box was empty and had never even been taped. I opted the box and you can clearly see something was inside but it was supposed to weight 9lbs and looking at my ring video footage it clearly was empty when handed to my wife. I emailed napleton Clermont jeep dodge ram and asked for them to call me and they replied with its **** fault youll have to file a complaint with them and absolutely accepted no responsibility whatsoever for not even using tape on the box to keep the item contained. ***** in the parts **** didnt offer to help contact **** or help at all so I had to file a police report and a complaint with **** as well and Im sure Ill loose my $150 in the end but an apology or some kind of help from them would have been nice seeing how they shipped the package without even using tape to keep the part inside

  On June 26, 2025, I went to Napleton *** in ******** ******** to inquire about a vehicle. I viewed the vehicle and spoke with the sales manager (***) and the finance manager regarding the price of the car (2025 GT Line AWD) *** *** The finance manager refused to allow me to go home with the paper having the price and details of the car, and ensured everything would maintain the same. The price of the car was negotiated and due to it being late, I would come in the following day (June 27, 2025) to purchase the vehicle. On June 27, 2025, I viewed the vehicle once again and submitted the credit application to finance the car. During the processing of the credit, the finance manager switched the car and told me the car we negotiated on was another car of lesser value, and he would sale it to me for the same price as the original care we negotiated. This was done after processing my credit, forcing me to endure an unnecessary credit inquiry.

  We appreciate the opportunity to respond to Ms. ******* concerns. Our records indicate that Ms. ***** visited Ed ************************ *** of ******** on June 26, 2025, and again on June 27, 2025. During her initial visit, she viewed a specific 2025 *** K5 GT Line AWD and discussed terms with a sales and finance manager. Unfortunately, due to the nature of automotive sales and market dynamics, the vehicle in question was sold to another customer shortly after her visit.
  
  Upon returning, Ms. ***** expressed interest in purchasing and completed a credit application to explore available options. While reviewing inventory, it became clear that the exact trim and color combination she had originally viewed was no longer in stock. The team attempted to present alternative units that met similar criteria. Any discussion of a comparable vehicle at the same negotiated price was made in good faith and with her budget in mind, but no sale was finalized.
  
  We regret any confusion or dissatisfaction caused by the unavailability of the original vehicle. However, it is standard procedure in the automotive industry to process credit applications once submitted by a customer actively seeking financing options.

  I am rejecting ** Napletons response to this complaint because they have provided you with misleading information. Seeing that *** of ******** submitted two repeated credit inquiries to the credit bureau for the vehicle that was in my presence and committed to purchase, I want *** of ******** to obtain the same vehicle from another dealership and/or the manufactory for the same ***** **** and *** presented to me in writing (Exhibit A).
  
  Regarding the misleading information in their response However, it is standard procedure in the automotive industry to process credit applications once submitted by a customer actively seeking financing options.  I provided my credit information to the Salesperson with the intent of purchasing the vehicle that was before me (Exhibit B).  The representative from *** of Elmhurst submitted two credit applications (within a ten-minute period) to the credit bureau for the agreed upon purchase.
  
  The Management at ** Napletons *** had no intention of selling me the vehicle and that is why they sold the vehicle the day after my visit.

  Business Response

  Date: 07/22/2025

  We respectfully submit our additional response to Ms. ******* recent rejection of our previous explanation. While we empathize with Ms. ******* dissatisfaction, the transaction's facts remain materially unchanged. On June 26, 2025, Ms. ***** expressed interest in a specific 2025 *** K5 GT Line AWD at Ed ************************ *** of ********. Like many in high demand, that vehicle was not held with a deposit and was subsequently sold to another customer. Ms. ***** returned the following day and submitted a credit application while exploring other vehicles in our inventory.
  
  It is industry standard to process financing applications upon customer initiation, and Ms. ***** voluntarily completed hers as part of her intent to purchase a vehicle. No vehicle was guaranteed or reserved without a formal agreement. We regret that her desired trim and price point did not align with our remaining inventory, but every effort was made to present comparable alternatives in good faith and consistent with her indicated budget.
  
  The assertion that our team acted with deceptive intent is strongly refuted. Automotive inventory shifts frequently, and while we aim to accommodate each customer's preferences, availability can change rapidly. 
  
  At this time, our prior response adequately addressed the concern, and we remain open to assisting Ms. ***** in finding a vehicle that meets her needs should she choose to reengage. However, we cannot accommodate demands to procure or price-match a no longer available vehicle that was never formally contracted.

  Napleton's Mid Rivers ******** Dodge Jeep ******** Allowed my vehicle to get stolen from there service lot. I dropped my vehicle off Friday the 20th at 10:30am and as of Tuesday the 24th, the vehicle was still not completed. I know they were not working on my truck because come to find out, the truck was stolen off of their lot Tuesday morning at 4am and they did not find out until Wednesday. This dealership does not care about their customers or their possessions. The police department has recovered my truck now four days after its been missing and it was involved in an accident that I now have to deal with. When I asked for their insurance and a rental because I am Active Duty that needs to get to work, they told me no and I needed to call corporate. Highly unprofessional.
