      Status:
      Answered
      i got my vehicle through ReCar Fredericton in mid-January of this year. On March 20, 2024, a mere 2 months after having owned this vehicle, I am driving down the highway on a work trip with a child in the backseat, my front windshield DETACHES from the body of the car & begins JUMPING up & down, making an extremely obnoxious noise causing me to have to pull over. There has been other issues already with the car which I have taken into my own hands to fix on my dime. I called Fredericton ReCar & was met with the worst customer service experience I’ve ever had. **** ***** the “Store Manager” took my call. Obviously shaken up, I asked**** for direction on how to approach the situation, explained my dire circumstances, & how I had a 2 hr drive the next morning. After calling me a ***** *****, hanging up on me 3 times, telling me I was acting irrational, & blaming the windshield coming off of the car on me for “treating the car poorly in the three months i’ve had it”, i was given these options 1. Call a “friend” to pick me up (not possible) 2. Call a taxi (also not viable option) 3. drive my car 2 hrs back (with a child) “SLOWLY”. I asked **** for the contact info for someone higher up than him, he refused to provide me with it, said that he would have his Director of Sales named ****, call me tomorrow morning. I never received a call. I followed up the next day, left another message, still nothing. I asked Mr. **** if our call would be recorded to which he said it was, but that was a lie. I also inquired about why I pay extra for a warranty if there’s “nothing they can do”, he told me that the warranty doesn’t cover windshields falling off! **** said that ReCar had never done any work to the windshield therefore they were not responsible for whatever happened to it. Because he kept hanging up on me, the following day, once i paid for my car to be fixed myself, I went to ReCar where **** told me that i wasn’t welcomed & that there was nothing he could do for me

      Please read every bit of small print and don't believe what you are told. We were assured, numerous times by two sales staff, that our extended warranty was 200000 km and 10 years from the date of purchase. We purchased the vehicle at 133000 km. I travel a lot for work and reached 200000 within a year and a half. Of course at 210 the motor went and we were shocked to find out we had no coverage. Shocked. We paid $4200 for a warranty for 18 months. The years started at 0 but the km started at 133000 for $4200. Figure that one out. ReCar admitted to nothing. Nothing at all. For a "goodwill gesture" they paid the labor for the repair, $1000 of the $7000. Thanks ReCar. They soaked me with a smile. I might also add that after I first posted this review I received phone calls, text and emails from ReCar within an hour that were not kind in nature. This is after weeks of trying to get a response and help from them. Lastly, please know that we repetitively spoke to our salesman about the warranty and were assured over and over that it was from 0km upon purchase. The manager that I signed with spoke nothing of the warranty but simply had me sign the paperwork. Agreed I should have educated myself better but I believe my salesperson after an extended talk with him about the warranty and I trusted his assurance. My mistake. As I stated at the start, proceed with caution.

      Hi Elizabeth, we are sorry you feel that you had a poor experience. We understand that you misunderstood the Warranty contract that you signed with us. The warranty you purchased (which is our most popular warranty by far) gives the customer 10 years of coverage from the date of purchase or up to 200,000km maximum on the odometer as we understand every customers driving habits are different and vary by customer. We go over all the paperwork with each customer verbally and in writing to ensure the customer fully understands the document that they are signing as these are all legal documents and contracts for the bank. We also understand that when a customer signs a contract, it would be assumed that the signature signifies the agreement and understands the terms and conditions of the Warranty Agreement. Because you misunderstood the warranty and purchased a vehicle from us, we graciously good-willed to cover the labour costs of the engine replacement 18 months after purchase and after you drove an additional 77,000km on the vehicle since taking ownership. We feel that we have made a full and fair attempt to help resolve your concerns. We sincerely apologize that we were not able to satisfy you with this resolution. 


      Respectfully,
      Management
