      Complaint Type:
      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Unresolved
      The consumer disrespect we recieved from this dealer was outrageous. We were up-sold a vehicle that was faulty, and an extended warranty that was absolutly useless.Owning this vehicle for less than a year and driving only 6k miles, it was disheartning to be quoted $7,000 in repairs needed by their service department. Not only would they not honor the Cadilac warranty they up-sold us for a windshield wiper fluid bottle, they would not warranty over half of the repairs we were told needed to be done ASAP.When their service department informed us that the warranty we purchased was useless, we instanty discussed this with their warranty department. We were then told by Foothills warranty department, that they might be able to sneak some repairs past the warranty holder, but if any inspections were needed by the warranty holder, they would not cover anything. When these issues were raised with the Sales Manager, we were met with aggressive, disrespectful, dismissive, deceptive rhetoric, basically saying too bad for us. The only positive interaction with this guy was him admitting that our vehicle was never properly inspected, and we were being up-sold by them again.We offered to give the car back, for a major loss to us. They would not take the car back, but would have to buy the car back from us. We escalated to upper-management, but were told that our asking price was unreasonable because, why would they buy this car back now knowing all the repairs it needs. After more discussion about how badly we were taken advantage of, the owner then gave an outrageously offensive offer to buy it back, leaving us out thousands of dollars, time, inconvenience for a car we have had for less than a year with more out of pocket repair costs than actual miles driven. A hard no given what weve gone thru, and a crappy start to our new year.The maintenance issues have continued, and we are out 10s of thousands of dollars.

      They recommended a $6000 replacement of the hybrid battery on a 2008 Prius. The car drove fine and when I asked why they felt a replacement was necessary, they could only come up with a code and no detailed data. I checked out the battery with the Dr. ***** app, and no problem was detected. They should have been able to justify such an expensive repair, but they couldn't.

      The customer was in for service as his 2008 ***** stopped and had flashing warning lights. He was a new customer to ** and when we checked we found below and resolved. However, one of the codes was P0A80 which recommends replacing battery and ECU. The customer did not agree with this assessment and wanted further diagnosis. ******** and ****** that code is ironclad. ****** talked with the guy yesterday and explained this to the guest,but since the guest is using an aftermarket tester App (Dr. ****** and it is saying everything is fine he does not believe us. Even if we clear the code it will keep coming back. The app he is using has mixed reputation.                                

      FOUND THE *** FILTER ON UPSIDE DOWN. CHECKED FOR DEBRIS IN
      THE MASS *** FLOW SENSOR, OK. FOUND OIL LEVEL OVER FULL AND
      OIL IN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD.
      DRAINED OIL LEVEL DOWN, REMOVED THROTTLE BODY AND CLEANED
      OUT MANIFOLD. ENGINE STARTS AND RUNS FINE NOW.
      H/V BATTERY AND ECU WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AS WELL.
