  Purchased a new rogue fifth wheel camper from them and the 3 seasons doors had factory defects. They were installed wrong and the windows would not stay up. They were supposed to fix them and when we call to get it resolved the service department lies to you about what is being done and comes up with excuses on why they can’t fix the problem.would just like for them to do what they are supposed to and fix the problems.

  We appreciate the opportunity to respond to this customer’s concerns and understand their frustration.
  At Holman Motors, we stand behind all the products we sell and service. In this case, the customer has a legitimate warranty concern involving the three-season doors on their 2024 Forest River Rogue fifth wheel. The three-season doors were not operational, and the sliding glass window did not close completely, due to an installation issue during the build process. We have been working diligently to coordinate a resolution.
  As is standard protocol, we submitted a warranty claim to the RV manufacturer, who then forwarded the concern to the component manufacturer, Lippert, for evaluation. We were still in the process of obtaining warranty authorization when the customer decided to take the unit on a trip. Unfortunately, during this time, the component manufacturer, Lippert, reached back out requesting additional information, but the unit was not on-site. Once the customer returned, we accommodated a waiting appointment to collect all requested measurements and submitted the details to Lippert for review.
  We are pleased to report that we have now received authorization from the RV manufacturer to order a complete replacement 3-season door assembly. Once the parts arrive, we will promptly notify the customer and schedule a repair appointment at their convenience.
  We remain committed to resolving this matter and appreciate the customer’s patience as we work through the warranty process.

  Just wanted to give you a quick update — the 3-season door has arrived! We're still waiting on the piece of furniture from the manufacturer, but as we talked about before, the plan is to have you come back once everything is here so we can take care of both repairs at the same time.
  As soon as the last part comes in, we’ll reach out to get you scheduled. If you have any questions in the meantime, feel free to give us a call or send a message.
  Thanks again for your patience!

  I have spoken with the business representative and parts are in. I have dropped off our camper for the repairs and when they are completed we will gladly close our complaint but as of right now I do not feel the issues have been resolved until the repairs are completed.

  In November, my truck was just at 100,000 miles, and a “pigtail” / fuel injector harness went bad. I’ve always trusted Holman’s mechanics fully to advise me, as this is not my area of expertise. The service advisor and their manager, that I was working with, tried to convince me to spend $6,000 or $8,000 to replace all of the fuel injectors and wiring harnesses / pigtails. I did a lot of research and talked to a ton of people, who ALL said that this does not sound right. I advised Holmans to repair the single pigtail / wiring harness and to retest fuel injector #5 after replacement, which they told me was bad and testing out of spec. After speaking to a trusted friend and mechanic, I advised Holmans to replace the 1 pigtail and that I would pick my truck up.
  
  I picked my truck up, and it sat in my driveway for a week and a half because I was afraid to drive it. I reached back out to my trusted mechanic friend who advised me to bring it to his shop in ******. An employee of his was very through in documenting the work that Holman performed, and that I paid $700 to have completed. IT LOOKED LIKE A BACK YARD MECHANIC HAD COMPELTED THESE REPAIRS FOR $100 OR SOMETHING. Furthermore, the repairs completed left a fried area of the pigtail that they didn’t even cut back far enough and replace. Go ahead, take a look at the pictures and what I paid $700 for. It’s abysmal!

  We
  appreciate the opportunity to respond to this complaint and provide
  clarification regarding the service performed on the customer's vehicle.
  
  On
  November 21, 2024, the customer brought their vehicle to Holman Motors due to
  significant drivability concerns, including sputtering, a check engine light,
  and a diagnostic code indicating a fuel injector circuit issue. Our Master
  Certified Diesel Technician performed a thorough diagnostic, which revealed
  diagnostic troubleshooting codes P0205 (cylinder 5 injector control circuit
  fault) and P0300 (random misfire detected). Upon inspection, it was determined
  that the injector wiring pigtail had failed, and the #5 fuel injector was
  testing out of specification.
  
  At
  this point, we provided the customer with multiple repair options:
  Replace the damaged pigtail and then reevaluate the
  injector performance.
  Replace both the pigtail and the fuel injector, as the
  injector was reading out of spec.
  
  The
  customer declined the recommended fuel injector replacement due to cost
  concerns and elected to proceed with only the pigtail repair. We completed the
  authorized repair using industry-standard procedures, including the application
  of heat shrink tubing to protect the connection. This process requires heat
  application, which can sometimes cause minor discoloration on the wiring
  insulation. However, the wiring remained fully intact, functional, and within
  acceptable repair standards.
  
  Following
  the repair, the customer picked up their vehicle, and there were no check
  engine lights or drivability issues upon departure. Several weeks later, the
  customer informed us that another shop had reviewed the repair and claimed it
  was substandard. Despite multiple invitations to bring the vehicle back for
  inspection and resolution, the customer declined to do so.
  
  Months
  later, on March 19, 2025, the customer reached out requesting $700 in oil
  change services or reimbursement. Given that the vehicle was operating properly
  after the repair and no concerns were brought to our attention in a timely
  manner, we declined this request and suggested the customer seek future service
  at another facility.
  
  At
  Holman Motors, we take pride in our workmanship and customer satisfaction. Had
  the customer returned promptly with their concerns, we would have gladly
  reviewed the repair and taken appropriate action if necessary. We regret that
  we were not given the opportunity to assess their concerns in person.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, reasons for rejection are included below.

  
  

  
  

  The response states that they offered to inspect the work on multiple occasions. That is untrue and was never offered. The one time that I went into the dealership to address the issue face to face, I was dismissed and gaslighted. 

  
  The substandard and unprofessional repair completed by the Holman motors mechanics either caused the fuel injector to test out of spec from the damage they caused to the wiring during repair, or the electrical tape that was used afterwards, or they lied about it being out of spec. Once the work was evaluated by another mechanic and the issues that Holman’s mechanic were addressed, the fuel injector was not testing out of spec, as stated per Holman’s service advisor. 
  

   

  If budget was truly the reason to not have repairs completed, why would I then go somewhere else and pay more money to have the work checked and corrected to both safety and industry standards? The fact that I was lead to believe that I should have $6,000 - $8,000 of work completed when the only true issue was a bad pigtail is unethical at least and fraudulent at best. The service advisor told both me and my husband that when this type of repair is needed, most people replace all of the pigtails and fuel injectors. I reviewed this information with other dealerships, mechanics, other diesel truck owners, and car enthusiasts groups, and not a single person agreed with the repair recommendation. 
  

  
  From the initial conversation with the service manager, he stated that even if the work was done poorly, that it’s unlikely that any of my money paid would be returned since I had their repairs corrected somewhere else. My final attempt at calling to address the issues and shoddy repair completed, was to give them a final chance to resolve the issue. Since they made it clear that they did not want to refund any money for the substandard repairs they completed, I requested a handful of oil change credits instead so that no money would have to be refunded. 
  

  I explained that even though they messed up, I thought it may have been a one off and I was open to giving them another chance, maybe working with the same one, long time service tech moving forward. I explained that while I’m open to shopping other dealerships, I’d prefer to continue business at my local dealership close to my house and where I had purchased multiple vehicles from. The final conversation to resolve the issue ended with being told to take my business elsewhere. 

  I did not get the work that I paid for completed to minimum industry standards and was mislead through the repairs process. An absolute waste of $700 as well as all the extra time and money to get things corrected.

  We
  appreciate the opportunity to respond and clarify the details of this
  situation.
  
  The
  customer brought their vehicle to Holman Motors on November 21, 2024, due to
  drivability issues, including a check engine light and sputtering concerns. Our
  Master Certified Diesel Technician performed a thorough diagnostic and found
  that the injector wiring pigtail had failed, and the #5 fuel injector was
  testing slightly out of specification. We provided the customer with two repair
  options:
  Replace the damaged pigtail and reevaluate the
  injector.
  Replace both the pigtail and the injector, as it was
  testing just outside the acceptable range.
  
  The
  customer elected to proceed with the pigtail replacement only, and we performed
  the repair following industry-standard procedures. Upon completion, the vehicle
  was running well with no check engine lights, and the customer picked up the
  vehicle without further concerns at that time.
  
  Regarding
  the customer’s claim that we did not offer to inspect the work, this is untrue.
  We made multiple attempts to invite the customer to return so we could review
  the concerns in person, but they declined. We also offered assistance in
  arranging for the vehicle to be brought back. Based on the photos provided
  later by the customer, we found no indications of improper workmanship, but
  without physically inspecting the vehicle, we could not fully assess or address
  the claims.
  
  Four
  months after the repair, despite the vehicle continuing to run properly, the
  customer requested a full refund or compensation in the form of oil change
  credits. Given that the repair was performed as authorized and the vehicle was
  functioning as expected, we declined this request and recommended that the
  customer seek future service elsewhere.
  
  At
  Holman Motors, we take pride in our transparency, professionalism, and
  commitment to quality workmanship. We stand by the service provided and remain
  confident that it was completed to industry standards. While we regret that the
  customer chose not to return for an in-person evaluation, we were fully
  prepared to assess and address any valid concerns had the opportunity been
  given.

  We were in the market for a used RV. We saw one listed as "For Sale" both on RVTrader.com and the Holman RV website. I called to inquire about this specific RV. I then actually spoke to the salesman who had just taken this RV in on trade for a new unit. Was told the trade-in had not even arrived on the dealer lot yet and we had arrangements made with the salesman who worked the trade, and was assured we would be Facetimed as soon as the RV arrived. And I specifically told him we would put a deposit on it to hold it prior to that, and would buy the unit as long as it was even in fair condition. But we were a cash buyer, and were told that they had no way of placing any sort of hold or reserving any unit that had not arrived at the dealership, no matter what. We had already arranged to drive 7 hrs to pick up the RV this weekend. We were called today and informed that the RV in fact showed up a day early, the trade-in was made, and the RV was already sold to another person by another salesman and out from under us. And we were told this was all because the other deal included their buyer securing financing. And apparently a "financed" deal and a buyer filling out a credit app is allowed to reserve campers that aren't on the lot and hold one, and jumps all other people who may have already committed to the RV or were rightfully ahead of them in the queue for any given camper that were cash buyers. A very shady and dishonest way of doing business, and definitely a bad look and terrible experience from a buyer ready and willing to pay cash...and who was told they had the first queue position on a specific camper verbally. If you need financing, then by all means they'll likely take care of you since it nets them more revenue. If you are a cash buyer that is ready to purchase, the things we were told turned out not to be true and the unit was sold out from under us.

  We are very focused on customer satisfaction and try to look out for our customers welfare. Holman Motors has a policy to not hold vehicles for a customer that has a contingency such as an inspection.  The only way we put a temporary hold on a vehicle is when a customer is in route to see the vehicle.  Pre-Owned RVs vary greatly in condition and need to be personally inspected by the buyer. We are sorry if this person feels this was sold out from under them but as mentioned we do not hold vehicles and all units are a first come first service basis.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ** ********* and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, reasons for rejection are included below.

  The dealership states that they do not allow any holds on units pending inspection and that units are on a first come, first served basis.  However that is not what we were explicitly told by the dealership.  We were informed that those buyers who filed a credit application could put holds on units. Prior to the unit even arriving on the dealers lot.  In effect, jumping ahead of cash buyers who needed no credit application.  It is a dishonest and unfair business practice to list units in inventory and even assign them Stock Numbers and post them on the website as For Sale, when they actually have not even arrived at the dealership yet and have never been in the possession of the dealership.  You are advertising a unit for sale that, at that moment, cannot even be purchased or inspected for purchase by a cash buyer.
