      Complaint Type:
      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Answered
      On Wednesday May 24th I towed my vehicle to the Van **** dealership for an engine diagnostic test to be done. On Tuesday May 29th they began the repairs. On Friday June 2nd, I was told the repairs were all done and I paid them over $2400 dollars for repairs that night. Instantly before I could even leave the parking lot of the dealership my check engine light was still on along with my vehicle having acceleration issues. My car immediately started jerking whenever I tried to accelerate. I brought my vehicle back on Saturday June 3rd and I told them about the issues I was experiencing. They checked for more codes and told me a new spool valve was needed. After they installed that new part I was told my vehicle should drive fine. After this second service was completed, I noticed once again that my car was still not fully repaired and the check engine light was still on. Immediately upon acceleration my vehicle would make a very loud humming/rattling noise. I returned to the dealership on Monday June 5th and explained the noise I was hearing as well as the check engine light that was still on. They informed me that the noise was being created by a part called the "heat sheet". They told me they were going to cut it off and after that I should no longer hear the noise. After this third service from ************ my vehicle still was experiencing the same sound upon acceleration. I immediately called them after I pulled off and informed them that the noise was still an issue. I was told they were going to call me back. I never received a call back that day. I called again on Tuesday June 2nd to inquire about my vehicle. They scheduled me for a test drive with a tech on Friday June 9th. After the test drive the tech told me it was an issue with the exhaust pipes and I would have to schedule service. On June 19th, 2023, my vehicle began experiencing the same jerking motions upon acceleration, just like on June 2nd. I do not wish to return. I would like a complete refund.

      I reached out to Van Horn service department before 12/2022 to get my Jeep Wrangler in for repair work. I was told that they would get me in after the New Year to take pictures & write up a work order for a warranty claim. I got my Jeep in Jan 2023 for pictures. The warranty claim was approved. After reaching out again 2/2023 I was told that I would be contacted for my service work, but they probably couldn’t get me in until March. 3/3/2023 I reached out to get scheduled and got no response. 5/17/2023 I followed up again, also called and spoke to a manager. I was told I’d hear back within 24hrs, nothing! I FINALLY received a call to get scheduled 6/5/2023. I’ve now been waiting a month to get my Jeep back! You can’t tell me that if this was a collision claim it’d be taking this long! They’re also blaming my insurance in which I told them regardless of what insurance pays I’ll be getting the repairs done & will pay for them. This is my 3rd vehicle I’ve purchased from VanHorn and it’ll be my last!

      Thank you for taking a moment to provide feedback and for taking our call to discuss the situation. Again, we apologize for any miscommunication that delayed the timeline, but we genuinely value the opportunity to make things right when you bring your vehicle in for your upcoming scheduled service.
