  I bought a 2018 ******** XT5 from Bakersfield Mitsubishi along with an extended warranty for $3999 plus tax in 8/2022 soon after began having problems I reached out to the dealership for the name of the warranty company and asked for the phone number ( I had never received anything in the mail, email, or phone call )they put me on hold for a long while, and they finally came back on and gave me the number to a company called Century? I called and left a message. I left two more messages in the coming week, but on.the 4th try someone answered and told me that They didnt do auto warrantys? I finally had to take my car to the closest dealer 40 minutes away and found out theyd fix it ONLY because it was under a recall . But that left me without a vehicle for a week but then 1 week after getting my vehicle back I was at a busy intersection at a stoplight and tried to accelerate and it wouldnt move . My emergency brake had engaged I couldnt disengage ******* barely got my car out of the way so I called the dealership again they gave me another NO. . I called that number & once again was told they dont do auto warrantys I spoke with the above dealership yet again as I was stranded and they had a number to call for a tow truck . I called the number and the recording said they were closed until Tuesday it was Sunday . I went online to You-tube to try to fix it and I did and now theres a problem with transmission popping into park by itself while in reverse and backing up and the warranty has expired now and I feel like Ive been scammed considering I was near coerced in purchasing this fake warranty I feel I should be reimbursed at the very minimum it feels like if anything a breach of contract occurred , but theyre the ones that sold me this contract. I never received one thing from my extended warranty and as usual most people dont think about it until they need it, but II DID TRYmultiple times having never receivied any assistance re; warranty

  We purchase an extra service on a car when purchasing we were told that we will receive a call during the week to get an appointment to get it done. They never called so after a month I reached out to see when can I take the car to get the service purchased done they said it wasnt in the due bill and that they couldnt see it anywhere I told them it was in the contract because they charged 1500 extra to have that service. I attempted so many times and same excuse no way on getting the contract, I showed them contract and still no appointment, its been months and they just give me the same excuse and I paid for a service now I dont want it I want my money back since I attempted so many times in get it done it takes to a manager he said he couldnt refund me money, I said that he should because the dealership never wanted to get it resolved

  Hello, I financed a car with Bakersfield Mitsubishi 12/11/23 and when I left, I was told everything went thru and I was good to go. Ive been waiting to receive my letter in the mail to where I am supposed to pay my car note to, like I was told I would from the gentleman who sold me the car and I never did. I even called 2/1/2024 to ask ***** the salesmen who helped me if he could direct me back to the person who helped me get insurance, even then I was not told they couldnt find financing or cancellation of that matter. Then on 2/8/2024 I was called by ****** in the finance department telling me they couldnt find financing. I asked her about the 10 day law and she basically kept avoiding the issue. She is barely calling me and quite frankly harassing me two whole months later, I read online the Law in ********** is the dealer has ten days to find financing or they could cancel the contract. I was never contacted about cancellation. But now two months later saying they are going to have to cancel illegally. ****** also did a credit check with out my permission on 2/10/24 after we spoke around 7 pm, without my knowledge or consent and I confused as to why when they are supposed to be within the legal limits of canceling the contract. When we spoke 2/10/24 she told if I didnt have the full cover insurance on the car then I would have to bring it back, I got full coverage insurance. They are threatening to cancel the contract now illegal and will not give me info on how I can make a payment, so I will not have to deal with even more of an issue. Please, please help, the service has been very frustrating and Im feeling like they are trying to scam me into signing a cancellation and Im not by any means trying to do so. I just want be treated fairly and lawfully. Again they will not provide me with information on how I can now began paying for the Vehicle and they have also stop answering my calls.

   I am rejecting this response because:
  
  Its been months and still having the run around. No communication and they are not even answering my calls. When I finally spoke with someone after calling back to back for 3 days, they told me I had to wait a week for the general manager to come back to work. A week later I had to call back to back again for 2 days, I spoke with the general manager and he said he was going to give me a call back and never did and that was a week ago. This is all a headache and I am ready to make a payment for the car. I believe they are trying to stall out the payments so they can take the car or something of the nature. I just want to move past this and make a payment and continue on out of this night made.

  I recently had a vehicle at Bakersfield Mitsubishi for repairs under warranty I dropped the car off in September of 2022 . After a few months of being without a vehicle and contacting the Mitsubishi Corporate Office service manager at Bakersfield Mitsubishi had stated that if we paid for a rental it would be reinbursed when the billing was finalized. I picked the car up may 4th of 2023 and was told again by the service manager that I would get the reimbursement within a couple of days to top it off the check engine light came back on the same day . So after multiple attempts to contact the service manager leaving voice-mails and being told by the receptionist that they would relay the message I have still not received a phone call remind you my wife and I have made several attempts in the last 2 weeks

  ***** ****** makes 1040 monthly provable income.  First he stated he made 1785. But 745 we could not use, then he got a co signer.  We asked co signer information.  co signer submitted online application.
  
  Co-signer stated he made 12000 monthly and was W2 employee.  We did not receive paystubs for him uprfront as he is a truckdriver and was not available for stips or to sign 
  
  that day.  He came in to sign approx a week later (not exactly sure the date) but had no paystubs with him.  He did send them at a later date.  The paystubs did not prove no
   
  where near the income he had stated. We sent paystub to bank he had sent us they turned it down once they saw paystub.   He was now out of budget being that he has a 
  
  nice size rent/mortgage and his own bills.

  I went and got a car October 4th of 2020, I left with the vehicle after paying and doing all the paper work. They failed to process it in time so they had to rerun my credit which hit my credit hard and twice, because they took too long processing my paper work they didn’t pay off my previous car in time so they charged me late fees which is now in collections thanks to Bakersfield Mitsubishi. I got my car during COVID and when they redid my paper work they put the wrong zip code and never replaced my paper plates, my paper work doesn’t show my correct license plate number and I’ve been trying to get ahold of them for a year & a half to get the correct plate number or help me get this resolved. I left so many voicemails and was given the run around every time I have called. They offered to get me into a new car which I tried that process but they denied me because I ended up with Lupus and put on disability so they said they couldn’t help me until I started working again. I called over and over again the other day finally got ahold of the DMV side. They now tell me I owe $850 to get my car registration up to date. I could’ve had all of this resolved long ago if they would’ve done their job correctly. Now I have to come up with an extra $854 to fix their mess up? It’s not fair. I have to do that plus fix my credit and collections from things they messed up. They sent me a $54 check which isn’t going to help me that much. I’d like if they could do something more. I left messages in voicemails, over Facebook, & spoke with so many people there that failed to help me with any information until Monday of this week. This last time I called I explained my situation and the guy said “oh marissa with the Kia right? It still hasn’t been resolved?!” Just not good for business and not okay for me to have to figure out and do on my own.

  On April 21,2021 my husband and I purchased a vehicle from Bakersfield Mitsubishi! It was a 2019 dodge caravan with 40,000 miles! We also purchased a warranty! After purchasing we noticed the tranny slipping!! Took it in and they said it was the brakes! They said it was not the transmission! In Aug of 2022 the fan motor for the air conditioner went out so we took it in and they told us we had gone over 240 miles over the warranty ! So we ended up having to fix ourselves! One week later the transmission went out ! So here we are paying for a car that doesn’t even run ! We are having to rent a car at a weekly rate of 350 a week plus!

  Dear ****** ********:

  
  
  

   

  
  
  

  We have received the complaint from your business identified as ********.

  
  
  

   

  
  
  

  We appreciate that you have reached out in an effort to allow for us to
  address this concern.  We do work very
  hard and strive to provide excellent customer service to all our clients.

  
  
  

   

  
  
  

  We have looked into this case and this is what we discovered……

  
  
  

   

  
  
  

  Our records indicate that the customer purchased the vehicle on or
  around April 21, 2021 with 40,558 miles on it. 
  There were no issues reported to us or through the CARFAX history that
  was provided at the time of vehicle purchase. 
  Since the vehicle purchase, our records indicated the customer had
  brought the vehicle in only one time.  On
  or around August 23, 2022 with approximately 80,283 miles on it.   The customer brought the vehicle in for a
  overheating issue.

  
  
  

   

  
  
  

  The customer’s service claim was denied by her service contract
  provider.  Unfortunately, the customer’s
  service contract expired due to mileage. 
  

  
  
  

   

  
  
  

  As stated previously.  This is
  the only service record we have on this vehicle.  We apologize the client is having drivability
  problems with the vehicle.   We would be
  more than happy to inspect the vehicle for the client and provide an estimate
  to repair the vehicle.  However, without
  a completed and proper diagnostic check performed.  Our company policy prohibits us from moving
  any further at this time.

  
  
  

   

  
  
  

  Sincerely,

  **** ******
