We purchased a 2019 Dodge Journey on 11/4/23. On 11/11/23 the oil pressure light went on and the car had to be limped back to Michael ****. Long story short it took 4 times of being in Michael Hohls possession totaling 5 months. Well after replacing the entire wiring harness, ecu, and oil pressure switch (twice), my car now has wiper blades that just stop working. I purchased the bumper to bumper warranty and they are telling me to even look at it they want $350 paid upfront. When we purchased the car they assured us if we brought it to them everything would be handled FREE under the warranty. I am so sick of this car and headache and would like for them to just buy it back at this point as were obviously going to continue chasing problems with this car!Business Response

This vehicle was sold at our Honda dealership; therefore I passed it on to the appropriate manager.
Thank you

I bought a vehicle from *********************** Subaru on or about march 12 I went in to Dealership and informed them that I was getting my car refinanced on my original loan with *****. **** I purchased an aftermarket warranty and a GMA insurance policy in case the car became totaled as I could not fold these in to the refinanced loan, I am doing a refund at a prorated rate. I was in formed by the finance department, but this was no problem, but because they didnt show my car refinanced yet or the long paid off yet they would send the money to my bank and my bank would send it to me Friday, 29 April my bank has received no check from Mykel. Neither have I I want my money. I am entitled to it. I believe the original warranty and the insurance was a little over $3000-$3500 range I paid it for six months , I want the money back for that six months is my understanding that the both get folded over into the original loan that I took from ********** to buy the car Im supposed to get my money back at a prorated rate. The original loan was for six years and six months .Business Response

I bought a vehicle from this business and purchased a gap protection and a aftermarket warranty. I refinance my car on March 12 and was due a refund on a prorated aftermarket warranty and gap protection. I filed a claim with the BBB And was then contacted by the business *********************** Subaru I went to the business last Wednesday, 8 May and was told that the reason I hadnt got paid yet is because the original finance person became separated from the business and didnt work there anymore and I fell through the cracks. I accepted this and was told that they were processing my check and it would be sent out on the eighth or on the ninth, at this point, I contacted the BBB and said I was happy with the response. I have not received anything yet. I attempted to contact the business the last three days specifically ***, who works in financing who was also the person that told me they were preparing a check on the eighth, I want to initiate my claim with the BBB as I have not received anything yet it appears to me and get me to resend my complaint Ive been this money for over two months now this is not acceptableBusiness Response

I have been doing business with Michael Hohl Subaru since 2008 and have purchased 2 vehicles from them. In 2021, I purchased a set of 4 Cooper tires for my 2014 Subaru Impreza through this dealer. In November 2021, I paid them to rotate my tires, change oil, check brakes, and do a 60,000 mile tune up costing me approximately $1,100.
One of my new Cooper tires had a slow leak in it causing me to put air in it about every 3 weeks. When I took it to have my tires rotated they said they did not find a leak. The tire was rotated and the leaky tire was moved from the passenger rear side to front driver side. There is still a leak and we took it in to the dealer today to fix it.
One hour after we get back home we receive a call that we do not have matching tires! We were accused of changing out the tire ourselves and they wanted to sell us 4 new tires and refused to fix the leak.
I am a 58 year old with a disability there is no way I would have changed out a tire. I did NOT change out the tire those are the tires they put on my car while rotating them. They had to give me someone else's tire of a name brand not Cooper and will not own up to it! I could not possibly notice this I trusted them!
When we took a closer look there was some generic brand tire on the rear passenger side not the one I purchased! I have an all wheel drive and have yet to find out the damage this has caused my car! There were 4 cooper tires on them when we purchased them I checked myself so whoever rotated them in this company put someone else's tire on my car.
I want all four tires replaced and my alignment checked and anything else this could have caused damage to! ***** ****Customer Answer

Yes we went Back November 2022 to have the tires rotated out.Business Response

the customer brought their vehicle in on the 17th of july as stated in the complaint, after inspection we found the r/r tire does not match and is much newer than the the other 3 tires (cooper tires) on the vehicle. the leak was in this tire. the tires on all wheel drive vehicles and especially Subaru vehicles must match and have the tread depth match within 1-2 mm or it will cause damage to the differentials and transmission. we will not repair a tire when they do not match as we told the customer. they insisted that they did not put that tire on however we did not. we installed 4 205/55/16 COOPER CS5 ULTRA TOURING tires on 3/8/21 at 36,000 miles, the vehicle now has 78,229 miles. we told them that they could possible have it repaired at a tire shop but that for liability reasons with the powertrain components listed above we could not patch their tire. what could be offered is a free replacement of the tire however the customer would be responsible for the other 3Customer Answer

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because: i purchased 4 tires of the same brand I will not be purchasing 3 more plus labor. The current tires are still a good quality I just needed one patched up. I Guess I have to hire an attorney. Below is a copy of the previous m essaging that we tried to fix this and the reply:Michael Hohl Subaru

Michael Hohl SubaruAs you see we were clearly disregarded and blown off from the beginning! I will be sharing this and looking diligently for an attorney since Michael Hohl Subaru wants to write this off as "venting."
