purchased a 2022 Grand Wagoneer with a Gold Standard Warranty from this dealership. Despite this being a flagship vehicle that supposedly passed their '150-point inspection' and has been serviced twice at this location under my care, the 6.4L HEMI V8 engine completely seized while my wife and two infants were in the vehicle.
This is a total failure of their service department. They had multiple opportunities to identify the issues that led to a total engine seizure just 19,000 km after purchase. Now, despite taking my money for the vehicle and the premium warranty, they are attempting a substandard, cut-rate repair instead of a full factory engine replacement. You cannot 'patch' a seized engine; metal debris from a seizure contaminates the entire block. A $140,000 vehicle requires a brand-new factory engine to be safe and reliable.
The Service Management has been consistently non-responsive, avoiding my direct calls and emails and delegating communication to staff members who have no authority to resolve the issue. They were happy to take my money for the car and warranty, but they are 100% at fault for missing these issues during their inspections. We have served notice to preserve the motor for independent forensic analysis. Legal action is underway read more
