Business ProfileforRairdon's Dodge Chrysler Jeep of Monroe

In October 2023 I went into this store to look at a 2013 *** 335i xDrive, car looked great besides the occasional wear and tear that normally comes with purchasing a used vehicle. Before I even went into the store to look at the vehicle the manager at the time *****, called me and assured me the vehicle was outstanding and had no issues. He told me and I quote "Im not even blowing smoke up your a** its the nicest *** we have had on this lot in a long time." so me being the type of person to give everyone the benefit of the doubt proceeded to book the appointment to go see the car. The two car salesman I had were overall nice people however they would brush off most of the concerns I had on the vehicle and assured me the car has been ran through the shop multiple times. With all of the people telling me the car is fine and it has been inspected multiple times I went ahead and locked in my purchase on the vehicle and was extremely excited. literally the next night after I purchased the vehicle my check engine light came on and the car started running strange. I reached out to the manager again and he told me to bring the car into the store so it can go through the shop again and they can diagnose what's going on. after maybe 15 minutes of them looking at the vehicle they pulled it out and told me everything was fine besides the o2 sensor was broken and told me to bring it to my personal trusted mechanic to diagnose any other problems on the vehicle and refer to third party *** forums to figure out what else was wrong with my car. they assured me the vehicle was drivable regardless of the check engine light being on, so I continued to drive it. A couple days later my car started to stall during idle and would jolt and stutter while I would attempt to drive it. I immediately called the manager ***** to let him know of what was happening and he immediately started blaming me for what was happening and claiming I was abusing the vehicle daily, he told me and I quote "I can not cover excessive abuse on the vehicle especially when you have had for 4 months." Keep in mind I have only had the vehicle for around 1-2 weeks at this time and he was lying to my face saying I was abusing the vehicle and had the vehicle for over 3 months. Now after realizing the trouble I am in I decided to take my vehicle to a trusted mechanic where he performed an oil change and scan. I was told from my trusted mechanic that my car has loads of metal shavings and brass in the oil and there are multiple fault codes active on the vehicle including transmission fault codes. The mechanic told me that the car was a "ticking time bomb" due to the fact that brass and metal in the oil were a clear indicator that the cars rod bearings were being torn apart from the inside of the engine. He also said that the transmission was most likely experiencing a fluid leak and that it was most likely gonna end up with me needing to replace the transmission. I asked for the cost of repair and I was quoted around $10,000 to fix everything and replace the transmission. I then reached back out to ***** to let him know what I found and sure enough I never got a response back to go over what options I had for the vehicle. Long story short it's been a while now and the car is worse than it has ever been and the transmission started to overheat and malfunction. I will never buy another vehicle from any ********* location even if they were the only car dealerships in the country , and I wouldn't recommend anyone reading this does either. Im aware I should've made this review sooner and not have let this slide for so long, but I am not the type to complain and write reviews on companies and to be honest this is the first review I have ever done. After having time to think, I finally dragged myself up to write this review not only for the sake of speaking my mind, but also to look out for any other young adult planning on purchasing a used vehicle from *********. Thanks for reading my review and I hope this helps.
