On December 5th, my appointment was made for a 2020 Jeep Wrangler vehicle purchased at this dealership for a steering issues (known as "death rattle") - violent shaking when hitting a bump at speed. Diagnosis took more than two hours to determine that in fact there was a safety bulletin on this model/make of Jeep. No parts were available to fix, no eta to fix the car, all expenses coming out of my pocket, as well as no solutions to drive since the car was deemed "unsafe" to drive. After reminding the service adviser ***** that I indeed also purchased an extended warranty, the adviser was able to get me a rental car, and assured me that he would be in contact in days once the part was purchased from another dealer within the week. Two weeks later, the "fix" to my car was an aftermarket part (replaced steering stabilizer which does not fix the issue). Upon pick up, my car clearly had a broken windsheild now that was not present at drop off. ***** agreed that was not there at drop off, assured me he would get the glass company and dates to repair quickly since it had been two weeks already. Per the rental policy of their car, glass is inspected on the rental car prior to and upon returning. ***** then called and said the dealer is refusing to repair the broken glass on my vehicle in their possession for two weeks, as I would have to for their car under the rental agreement. The steering stabilizer repair has not resolved the "death rattle" and dead spot shimmy that I reported prior to service still exists. Repeated attempts to talk to a servicer manager have been stonewalled and ignored.Business Response

We got ahold of the customer and hes going out of town for the holiday. He is going to call me directly and let me know what day and time works for him to bring the jeep back for ** to take another look at the steering and the windshield. I told him if the crack originated from a rock chip what I would be willing to do is go through his insurance to have it replaced and the store would pay his deductible and he seemed fine with that.Initial Complaint

Last week I attempted to purchase a truck from this dealership - ***************************** Chevrolet/Buick/GMA in ******, **. I live far from the dealer so I attempted to work out the details by phone. I was passed off to the finance person - without notice. The finance person then lied to me; all of the numbers changed. They were all very condescending and treated me very poorly. They also would not honor the pricing on their own website.The next day, I paid cash for a truck at a dealership that knows how to work with people.The **** Hendricks dealer will NOT stop calling, texting, and emailing me. I have unsubscribed on their emails and website. I have messaged them. I have told sales people that call me. All they do is get belligerent with me and blame me for issues. I simply need them to no longer contact me - I will not be buying a vehicle from them now and due to their unprofessional behavior I will never do business with this place.Business Response

The vehicle was taken back to **************** on June 30, 2022, in which it was inoperable. Issues were diagnosed and fixed, and the vehicle was returned on September 23, 2022 with having to pay a balance of *******. On September 25, 2022, the vehicle started driving rough and the check engine light reappeared and the car shutted off and was unable to turned back on. I took a picture in which I emailed the shop because it was outside of business hours. I received a phone call from ****** the manager of the service department in regards to my email and he stated to have the vehicle brought back into the shop. I am very unhappy with this. It's like my money is going down the drain. I'm a single mother trying to make ends meet and it's like it's always something with this dealership.Business Response

The Client came in because her vehicle was overheating once we did the work she said it was still misfiring. She brings her vehicle back in a second time and no codes were thrown. The 3rd time she brings her vehicle in, it actually misfires.
She gets the work done and pays for it with her credit card and then disputes the charge with her bank and says we did not do the work.
We will not be charging her any diagnostic fees for what we have done on this past service visit, but we no longer will be servicing this Client at this location.

To whom it may concern, This complaint is against ***** ****** (391 **********************, ******, ** *****) of ****** for their negligence with a customer making them aware of an issue and them not looking into the root of the problem at that time. The complaint is also for ****************** of ********** (**** ************, **********, ** *****) for poor customer Service and not taking the action to resolve and issue before the actual customer had to request it. They were going to allow the customer to leave and there was a major issue with the vehicle and not make the customer aware which is also negligence. I would like to be refunded for all my purchase made at *************** and *******************, the service was horrible and they didnt even look into the issue until the me and my father made a big deal about it. They also were quick to advise what they couldnt do for me as a customer before they advise what they could do. ******************* also failed me as a customer by not updating Enterprise with the date change for coverage of the rental. If my fathers card is charged for the rental I would like that reimbursed as well for that.Business Response

I purchased a used vehicle from ************************************************ in ********** and signed the paperwork on 10/7/2022. I sent all of the requested information to register my vehicle in MI to *************************. On 10/11, I followed up asking about the status and never received a response from *************On 10/22, I picked up the vehicle and ***** from sales told me I'd have my tags within 2 weeks. I received a 30 day temp tag. On 11/4, I went up to the dealership to get the 2nd key (which was supposed to be provided when I picked up the vehicle) and ***** told me there was a delay in sending my paperwork so my tags would be here within a week.On 11/11, I went to the dealership once again and spoke to ***************************. He apologized for the delay and the failures of ***** and ****** and I sent him all of my insurance information. They illegally wrote me another 30 day tag. I followed up on 11/17 (******** wasn't in the office) and the receptionist told me she'd speak with ****** and call me back. I never received a call back. On 11/22, ***** texted and said I'd have my tags by 11/30.On 12/1, I called SOS in MI and was told they haven't received any paperwork for my vehicle. I went to the dealership and ******** told me they'd have all of the paperwork processed by the end of the day. I called **************** along with ***** (sales manager?) and they told me it'd take at least a week due to delays from the holiday. At this point, my 2nd temp tag is about to expire and I won't be able to drive the vehicle I'm paying for. Because I'm financing the vehicle, I don't have the title and cannot register the vehicle myself (which would be useless anyway as my tags would expire before then).MI law requires dealerships to apply for registration within 15 days of vehicle delivery. As I picked up the vehicle on 10/22 and they didn't apply for registration until sometime after 11/11, they have broken this law. I'm not an expert on ** law, but I'm sure they have a similar law that was broken.Business Response

On November 9, 2022, I had a service repair complaint on my vehicle for engine light on, loud hissing noise, idling rough, engine shut off, and driver rear door will not unlock w/FOB. I waited for my vehicle doing servicing and the Service Advisor ****** explained it needed a Valve Cover. I paid a $100 co-pay after repair completion.After 2 days of work, Saturday, November 12, my engine light came back on with burning engine smell coming inside the vehicle with same issues without hissing noise. I drove my car back to the dealership complaining with the same issues on my vehicle and I had a future service appointment on November 15, ********************** referred me to the *************** Manager to get another vehicle. I had a sell man shown me a Buick Encore 2023, 2022, and Chev Malibu 2017. Sell Manager gave to options: 1) Go to my bank loan financer "tell I have to many problems then let them Repo my vehicle," 2) I was approved by a different financer on a Encore 2022 for $600 plus payment. I declined all offers I just wanted my vehicle repair. After 6 hours waiting, Sell Manager said the ****************** is closed I could not leave my vehicle on the lot over night. I drove my vehicle off the dealership lot in the same condition I came in for. I was very dissatisfied with the service and handling my complaint!!

Transaction date was 11/26/2022 The following is a copy of the text message I sent to the salesman :A couple of concerns I will express here, and if necessary, continue to go higher up until my request is satisfied. Otherwise, without any assurance TODAY,I will stop payment on the check and bring the car back.**** knows that several times before I signed the papers I brought up the two key fob situation. Was there a second key? He assured me that one is kept in the sales department and the other one is in a box in the service department and he would have to have time to go through that box to try and find it. I left without the extra key fob and cannot function properly without it between my wife and myself. What was very hurtful as I was driving away, I brought it up again and he said he would go and try to find it in that box, but that this is a used car sold as is. What a time to tell me that after signing the papers, knowing that I raised the issue twice before signing the papers.The other concern was once in the finance office I was given miss information concerning the warranty that already existed on my car. I had to challenge them to look it up and they would see it had a four year 50K mile bumper-to-bumper. Up until then they continue to ignore it and again **** knows that was one of the lures for me making the five hour round-trip to ****** Was because I would be leaving the parking lot with a bumper-to-bumper warranty already there, not having to purchase it. Then inside the finance office, **** and the finance officer played ignorant, and I looked at **** and I had to remind him, dont you remember our conversation? Very disappointing.This suv was still under a bumper to bumper from the factory. I had no need of the "additional"warranty and did not purchase. They did their best to have me believe I had no limited bumper to bumper from the factory. I knew better and so did ****, he even looked up and gave me such info before I made the 5 hour round trip.One last matter, I STILL HAVE THE ***** that **** sent me and Im quoting his words : this car has no dings, dents or scratches! Turns out there are three notable dents on the hood of the car. Certainly, the video didnt go in close enough for me to see this. I brought it to his attention when we were in person. I should not have to absorb that disappointment, and have to try and contact someone to take the ***** OUT. Although this, too, is really not fair!!!!!All I am asking is for an expediting of the extra fob key immediately and pay a modest amount to remove the dents. That's all I am seeking. Very disappointing and I will continue to express my disappointment as far up as I have to,showing the video as well. It was far from a pleasant buying experience that left me as a consumer once getting home so unfairly treated. Im so absorbed with how this has been handled!. Make it right, please!FYI I have not and will not cancel the check. I just wanted their attention.Noticeable? Yes! The first two people that looked at my car when we got home brought to my attention the two dents on the hood of the car. That is the truth so help me God!!!Customer Answer

We have communicated to the customer that we will provide a 2nd key fob although it is not on a we owe and was not documented as an item owed at the time of sale. The dents were not mentioned until after the fact and the customer purchased a used vehicle that was test driven prior to purchase, we can give him our contact for dent removal but we will not be able to provide that service for him.

I am rejecting this response because: This message doesn't include what *******, the customer relations manager, agreed to late yesterday. ******* not only agrees to having a 2nd key fob made at my home but she also agreed to giving me $200 towards the pings & dings. This notice doesn't include that, possibly because it was agreed to late yesterday before this message reached me. I have told the customer relations manager I would consider the matter resolved upon meeting those two conditions that she proposed. She told me she was going to be away for a couple of days for jaw surgery. That is the latest I have from her.Thank You,
