I honestly don't even know where to begin. I wasn't going to write this review because I doubt it…read morewill change anything--and it may just get taken down--but my opinion matters too.
I purchased a car from this dealership on July 30th. I couldn't take the car home that night because my insurance didn't become effective until the next day, so the dealership delivered it to me the following day, which I appreciated.
I drove the car only a couple of times--to the store and to get food, no more than 5-10 minutes each trip. On August 10th, I noticed oil on the ground in my garage. I checked underneath the car and saw that it was leaking oil. Since it was a Sunday and the dealership was closed, I waited until August 11th to contact the salesperson, who put me in touch with the service advisors.
The first time they took the car in, I was told the oil leak was just residue from a previous oil cooler job done before they even had the car. I was told to drive it 1,000 miles and bring it back if it continued leaking. After about two weeks, I got the car back, drove it roughly 800 miles, and it was still leaking oil. On top of that, the car started displaying a "Shift to Park" warning.
I brought it back again. This time, I was told the timing cover needed to be resealed and the shifter needed to be replaced. The timing cover was fixed, but I was not informed that the warranty denied the shifter repair. I was told to bring it back if the "Shift to Park" message appeared again--which it did immediately after taking it home.
I brought it back once more. They said the oil was just residue from the timing cover repair, cleaned it up, replaced the shifter, and charged me a $150 deductible. After getting the car back, it was still leaking oil. They suggested I take it to Chevy, so I did. Chevy gave me a long list of issues but said the warranty declined the repairs and that the car needed to go back to Dodge.
I took the car back to Dodge, and they said the issue was the vacuum pump. A few days later, the car was leaking oil again. I called to set up another appointment and asked if there were any options to get out of the vehicle. The woman I spoke with (I won't name her) was extremely kind and helpful and most helpful other than the techs that's been trying to figure out my car. She told me that if they couldn't fix the car after multiple attempts (similar to the lemon law policy), they would buy the car back.
When the car came back--still leaking--I called again and spoke to Carter, who confirmed what the lady said, and told me to bring it in to see what we could do.
If I had known what was coming next, I wouldn't have wasted my time. Once I arrived, the story completely changed. They said they would buy the car back--but not for what I paid. I bought the car for $16,000, and after tax, title, license, and warranty, my loan totaled about $25,100. I've barely put 2,000 miles on the car, and most of those miles were from the mechanics test-driving it and telling me to drive it certain miles for each leak. Despite that, they appraised the car at $8,500, even though my loan is still around $25,000.
After that, they claimed the issue was the oil cooler. Then it leaked again--this time from the oil pan. They resealed it and charged me another $150 deductible. Now I've driven the car only three short trips, and it's leaking oil again. They're once again telling me to take it to Chevy, even though that didn't work the first time.Point is
I bought this car on July 30th, it was delivered July 31st, and it has been leaking oil since August 10th. I have brought this car back seven times, and now it's going to be an eighth. I've barely been able to enjoy or even use the car since buying it. I know I'm tired of bringing it back and I know the techs are tired of me bring it back as can tell keep trying to pass me to Chevy. Which I appreciate but we already know what happened last time I went there.All I want is a car that doesn't leak oil and very reliable I went to five dealerships before choosing this one too. and this has been nothing but a nightmare. Here we are 7 months later and nothing has been done except to keep taking it back to get fixed they even stopped taking me in at the services and kept telling me to send it other dealerships because they couldn't figure it out. I have all receipts and repairs for everything on the car haven't done anything to the car except a crack windshield and put like 4,000 miles on it within the year because the shops have had it longer than I have. Really unprofessional and would never ever recommend this dealership they screw you over on pricing and car doesn't even work and visits the shop more than anything and they also say one thing over the phone then when get there say something completely different. You will just be In debt for a car you never see.
