  I purchased a used Tahoe at Reliable at time of purchase I was told no accidents nothing major with this vehicle. It’s been 7 months and this is the second time having it repaired which I have had to rent a car due to no loaners. I was told upon taking it back in that it would be 7 to 10 days it’s been almost 3 weeks and they don’t know if the repairs will be covered. I did purchase an extended warranty. I believe I was sold a lemon, I want to have Reliable take this vehicle for a trade for exactly the same price I owe on my current vehicle. Thanks so much for taking the time in this matter

  After review I found that the GM Certified Technician did complete
  the diagnosis of this vehicle on 10-19-2024.  He found that there was a
  malfunction at the open circuit parameters with the connector case latches on
  ignition coil 8.  He also found a coolant leak coming from the outlet
  heater hose for the heater core and recommended replacing that as well. 
  Both repairs are covered under the GM Certified Pre-owned warranty at no cost
  to the guest.  We have both parts in stock as of this morning and I am in the
  process of having my GM Certified Shop Foreman perform the repair.  The
  plan is to have the vehicle repairs completed by the end of the day and
  returned to the guest no later than tomorrow morning pending final quality
  check and test drive. 
  
  I have notified the guest of this update, and I will personally
  keep them informed throughout the repair.  She will make arrangements to
  pick the vehicle up tomorrow after work.

  I purchased my vehicle on April 25th 2024. One month later the vehicle broke down and ended up in the shop. I have been without my vehicle since May 24th. I have been given nothing but the run around with the company. I am a caregiver and have had to reduce my hour which has reduced my pay. I was never even offered a rental. I have taken the vehicle to both reliable and Volkswagen on my own dime. It is now sitting with reliable and all I have been getting is excuse after excuse as to why the vehicle has not been fixed yet. I talked to Mike who said he would talk to Don a few times. Angel from the service department stated since last week they are just waiting on a part and it could STILL be another week. I cannot afford to lose my job and need my vehicle back or at least a rental. I am losing money daily.

  After 3 months and 4000 miles, my brand new truck broke down.
  
  To make things worse they just keep saying the part to fix my truck is on back order. It’s been a month with no signs of it being fixed anytime soon.

  Business Response

  Date: 06/11/2024

  We are extremely sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.  The turbo is on backorder with General Motors with no ETA.  Our Service Director checks daily to see if it has been released for shipment, and at this point, it has not.

  General Motors allows a certain amount per day for rentals.  The vehicle you rented was one that qualified.  We can't just give a customer a truck that is for sale on our lot.

  We picked up our car March 6th after it being at reliable chevrolet for a week. During the week they had coded, test drove, and saw that there were issues with the turbo and air intake, and no issues at all with my blinkers. March 6th it's getting late. We hear everything is fixed and they are taking it for a test drive the service guy comes out and said he is finishing the drive but your blinker went out. I said oh I can probably switch the light out myself but when looking to see what it required I realized I didn't have tools for it. So I asked the service guy for a quote to just get it fixed. He said he would get that for us. We waited a bit then when the service guy went to check us out We asked about the quote and this is when he told us the tech dropped the car off and went home. I said so there is no one here to do it? He stated no. So we drove home with a blinker error. We find out the next day when we had to take it to a local shop, that the ground wires were broken and it had nothing to do with a blinker lightbulb but wires were actually broken and ***** **** had to fix it for $109.43 Something like that should have been fixed before leaving reliable chevrolet, **** also mentioned that it had to have been broken while they were working on the car at the dealership. I have called multiple times and left messages and **** has called multiple times leaving messages with no response until yesterday when Don had plenty of time to call and shame me and tell me his tech was getting money taken from him because my wife completed an honest survey after waiting several weeks for this to be resolved, but he did not have time to call **** the mechanic back to
  get this made right after **** had called twice yesterday. Like I said no issues when we gave them the car with our blinkers. The car was returned to us with blinker issues.

  Thank you for allowing time for us to research this issue.  The damage he is stating we caused was not near or around the turbo charger we repaired.  The technician and advisor advised him at the time of test drive that there was an issue with his turn signal.  He declined the repair and said he would take care of it.  We pushed his vehicle repair in front of other clients since he was from out of town.  We completed the repair 2 weeks ahead of the time it would have been had he had to wait for the clients in front of him.  We have called several times to the technician he refers to at **** *** *** **** and we were not successful at reaching him.  We do not owe him for any further repairs.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  
  The blinker was not an issue when giving the car to you we were only alerted to the issue the night we were picking up the car and before we took the car we asked for a quote for them to fix it because we didn't have any tools on us to do so. We waited to hear on the quote when our service guy went to check us out without the quote we asked if he had a quote at which point he said sorry the tech left the car and went home so there was no one there to fix it we had no choice but to take the car with broken blinker issues that were not there before you worked on the car! As far as **** goes he has called several calls and left messages and no one has called him back, again one of those days **** called, Don had plenty of time to call and give me a talking to about how he was mad about the survey, but not call to actually resolve the matter.  The turbo was not the only thing messed with in this car. How do you take on someone's car for other issues and send them home with a whole other issue? I would understand if the car came in initially with blinker issues but this was not the case

  The turbo and the hoses and inter cooler ducts all are attached
  to engine  had nothing to do with anything close to turn signal 
  harness and wiring  are  hidden in headlamp area  all work
  perform are unrelated or close to  turn signal wiring , we advised them of
  their turn signal issue because tech noticed it on his test drive .

  10/30/23 My '18 Trax lost power steering and slowed down to about 2mph. The dash said power steering drive needed service along with a couple symbols appearing. I called the serv. dept. to tell them of the issues and make arrangements. I was told it would be 7-10 days before it would be seen for diagnostics, since there were 40some people ahead of me. 10/31 Vehicle was towed from my house but I was unable to ascertain info of its arrival. 11/01 Drove to the dealers serv. dept. to learn it had in fact arrived. ****** asked me again what the issue was. 11/08 Someone left a mssg for me to contact them. They didn't answer the phone, so I drove there. ****** said he knew nothing about the phone call but could I tell him what was wrong with the car. I replayed the mssg to learn, that it was in fact, ****** who'd called me. 12/04 I, again, drove there (since they don't answer the phone). ****** said they'd called like five times and left mssgs (it was actually twice); the techs were with it. I asked if they'd fixed it, to which he responded, "No, they need to know what the issue is". I excused myself for a couple minutes, to come back and tell him, one more time, what the issue was and tell him, "I want it repaired, this time. Unlike the last car I bought from here. You guys kept returning it without a proper working AC, so I was forced to just trade it in". 12/08 I called to speak to the manager of the service dept, only to find out they have two; one of them being ******. (At that point, I called GM. That is a separate issue.) 12/15 ****** called (I was silently praying he wouldn't ask what was wrong with it) to tell me the techs had diagnosed it. He told me the price and that they could have it done in a day or two. I told him to start it. 12/18 Frustrated with paying and insuring a car I haven't laid eyes on in nearly two months. I've received letters, from that dealership, to trade it in, because they needed used car inventory. Are they trying to wait me out?

  I have had the most hardest time with the is place the service department is not organized unfriendly lack of communication. I have always taken my vehicle there to be serviced since I bought it there. Last year they some how locked my engine up it took weeks for them to communicate that too me they said it was the starter next was the fuse box and finally they admitted it was a engine which they claimed it was a malfunction in it. funny never got a recall for me to take in. It took 6 months for me to finally get my vehicle back. You ask for a rental they act like it's very inconvenient for then to do that after back and forth we finally received a car so our whole summer was canceled due to us not being able to take our trailer out. So on Monday we took it in to be serviced once again something has happen to it now they are claiming its the transmission. But they said they had the parts in and it should be done Saturday. once again I asked for a rental so I can have a way to work of course another hard time. Saturday I called to see if my vehicle was ready and what I got really made me upset sorry your vehicle has not been looked at as we don't have the parts. which I did explain to that person I was told you had the parts. The response I got was those where the wrong parts. what the heck do you all not know what's going on. I requested to speak to the director of course no communication no nothing. Once again I have no vehicle. For one it be different if the communicated to you and help provide another vehicle a loaner you know people still got to work.

  After some research, it appears that we replaced an engine at no charge to them in 2022.  The vehicle was brought in for an oil and filter change and we discovered an issue.  This is covered by warranty and is a large job and does require some time to fix.  At the present moment, it is repaired and being reassembled.

  I am rejecting this response because:I believe the original issue was an error on the service
  departments part. I took my truck for its regular oil change. My truck had no
  issue the motor went bad in-service department. I was patent with the issue they
  gave me a rental car even though I needed a truck. It took several months to
  resolve. I was patent I get my truck back, now I take it in for an oil change
  and they tell me I have a rear main seal leak and oil pan leak to me that tells
  me they didn’t put the motor in right and on the paper work it said customer
  states that he found an oil leak. I never stated I had an oil leak I went in
  for an oil change they keep claiming its warranty work. but I believe it
  negligence on their part. so, they can charge the warranty department now I’m afraid
  of what else will happen to my truck.

  I purchased a brand new Chevy Blazer Sept 2020 from this company. Since the date of purchase I have had multiple issues with the vehicle and have had to take it in on 4+ occasions to be serviced. Please see my previous complaint for older issues. I have had to take it I. 2 times in the last 6 months and now have a NEW issue. Each time your car needs to be serviced with this company they require you leave your vehicle with them for 7-10 days for them to diagnose it but also do not offer any type of loaner program. They just expect their customers to be without a vehicle for 10 days plus the amount of time it takes for them to order the parts and get it fixed. This is unacceptable. I have a job and two children that need ti get to school and cannot be without a vehicle. When my car was serviced in may they agreed ti have it back to me within a day and kept it multiple days after that. They do offer to get you a **** home from the dealership the day you take your car; however last time I was there I waited for them ti get me a **** for over an hour and was stuck without a ride home because there was none available. This time I have called over and over and the company does not answer their phones. I have left several voicemails with no call back. I did reach ** Monday morning 8/21/23 who promised a manager would call me back and I still have not received a call back. I have left another voicemail this morning and have not heard back from them. Not only should a brand new car not have all of these issues but the customer should not be inconvenienced when it does happen as it is not their fault. I spent over 35,000.00 on a vehicle and it has caused nothing but trouble and stress dealing with this company.
