  I received service on my Toyota Tundra and I was told I would possibly have issues regarding my battery soon. I went ahead and opted for the lifetime battery as well as tires and other services for the day. I purchased this in 11/2024. Today I was stranded 7 months pregnant with a five year old only to find out my battery was bad. Looking at this battery I found it was not replaced and I was charged parts and labor. I verified the battery I was allegedly given did not match the battery in my tundra. It is completely unacceptable to be charged for a service and to have never received it. I purchased the battery to ensure i would not end stranded and inconvenienced and that is exactly what happened.

  Mr. ******* brought his vehicle to us today.  We failed to replace the battery in the Tundra at the time of service in November of 2024.  We apologized and replaced the battery today and also issued a refund for customer Satisfaction.

  I called Bill Penney toyota. They told me they had the connector I needed in stock. Gave me a price, I came ALL the 35 miles to bill Penney and they overcharged me AND gave me the wrong part. Now they do not the correct part and expect me to pay the overprice again. Ridiculous

  Business Response

  Ms. ******* called our dealership and gave a part number to **** ******.  He checked to make sure we had the part number she requested.    The customer picked up the part requested and paid Toyota list price.
  The same day the Geckles returned stating that the part number they gave us was incorrect.   They had inserted wires into the part and *** Denmark could not remove those wires so the part could be returned and refunded.  He explained when they could get those wires removed we would exchange or refund the amount that they paid.
  Toyota will not accept used parts if we try to return.  Therefore, they will have to remove anything they attached to the part.  We attempted to help them with this and could not remove the wires installed.  The part needs to be returned in the state in which it was sold.

  Complaint: 22388145
  
  I am rejecting this response just to mention to Mr. *********** the credit should also include **************** with service and parts according to the email information I have. So that can be documented and prevent further issue when I use the credit. Thanks
  
  Sincerely,
  
  ***** *********y credit to buy is with them but the car is an Acura. This led to a number of follow up questions. I explained I have confirmation from the manager and emails that I can use my credit on anything because they prefer not to refund. I was told they dont think thats correct and started looking for a manager to confirm but could not find one. After waiting on hold awhile they took my number to have the manager call me back. I said ok, but please my wife needs to get her tire taken care of. I told her to get to work if she can and Ill get it taken care of when ** calls me. Waited all morning no call, all afternoon no call . I then took care of my wifes car at a local shop buying a new tire and install. I now would like ** to reconsider returning my $1k refund if they can find it in their hearts. I needed to use it and couldnt and no one reached back out to me. I fear this will be a routine when I need something again and want to use it. I provide a screen shot of one of the emails

  I am rejecting this response because: There was someone who noticed the damage and didnt say a word. Too many people handled the vehicle. Also the price of the vehicle does not reflect the damage.
  
  Sincerely,
  
  *************************r I wouldnt have purchased it. Plain and simple.Not only that but got to looking at our paperwork again, and ************************* DID end up charging us for the warranty, but since he didnt change our monthly payment he considered that free. Smh.I wont be happy with dealership until they repair the pre existing damage that 10 of their people failed to mention and send me a check to get it fixed, OR reprice the vehicle to include the damage and send me a check to put towards the loan for the difference.ALSO they say you have 20 days to get your car titled before you acquire a fee and We have still been unable to title and tag our vehicle because the dealership still hasnt sent our paperwork to our local clerks office two weeks later. ***************************** did cancel the tire warranty after telling us that it would be free.

  Business Response

  There isn't a Preowned Vehicle that is in perfect condition and that is the reason we give our customer's the opportunity to take the vehicle for inspection by a third party.  We also have them review the Auto Check and sign off on it.  If we don't know about the damage we would not be able to tell the customer.  ********************* has sent the title paperwork to the appropriate office for registration.

  Business Response

  Date: 07/15/2024

  As the buyer, we give you every opportunity to check the vehicle over or take the vehicle to get a second opinion.  It is the Customer's responsibility before you take possession to ask any questions.  No verbal agreements are honored and all issues will be notated on your due bill.  We are sorry you feel this way but we take every measure to help every customer during the buying process.

However, Wednesday (June 19th) Bill Penney ************** came by and tried to clean my driveway but was unsuccessful. ******** and **** were the ones from Bill Penney ************** who came to the house.

  Complaint: 21609491
  
  I am rejecting this response because a statement made in it was not accurate. I contacted **** Penney ********** after two weeks when I realized there was no Rear Collision Warning (***) being activated when there were objects behind us when reversing. There was not a clear way to realize this sooner as the *** would only be activated when there was possibility of a collision so it is not something that would be noticeably missing until necessary. Thankfully it did not take an actual collision occurring for to discover it was not present. I then contacted the person who sold it to me to see if it was just not activated and they told me to come in so that it could be looked at. I actually brought it in that day and then was told I needed to speak to a manager so that the issue of the missing function could be resolved. At this time I thought an innocent mistake had been made and that the company would do the right thing and resolve it.

  I made an appointment with my daughter to come and assist me since english is not my first language. We showed up to the appointment on time and after waiting for thirty minutes then we were told that the manager was not there and that we would have to come back. We agreed to come back a few days later and my daughter was not feeling well so she brought her partner along with her. At this time we met with Mr. ************************* who proceeded to accuse us of "ganging up" on him after taking us to an office. ************** also accused us of taking too long to bring the car in and of getting "cold feet". I tried to explain that I had tried to bring the car in multiple times, but ************** would not let me finish a sentence before cutting me off. When my daughter tried to explain to ************** that she had also spoken to the salesperson and that the salesperson had asked a manager with her on the phone if the car had *** and she heard the manager confirm that it did and that was why we trusted that the car had the features promised. ************** then quickly said he didn't know anything about it and that he had been on vacation that day. Unfortunately, we believe that the responsibility of this mistake is being shoved onto the salesperson when in fact a manager did confirm that the car had the features it did not. 

  We originally were hoping we could find a reasonable solution with Bill Penney ********** which was why we were willing to wait to meet with them and also why we did not file with the BBB sooner. Unfortunately, after meeting with ************** and after him telling us that it was "not his responsibility" and that he was "taking time off from his job" to do this we realized it was clear that they were unwilling to discuss anything with us further. 

   

  
  *****************************

  Business Response

  Date: 04/25/2024

  The 2024 ********** ECL Cross was purchased on 02/20/24. ***************************** inspected the vehicle and signed that all the features,controls and technology were explained to her upon delivery.  Also she signed the delivery confirmation that no items were owed to her along with the purchaser acknowledging that she understood that there no waivers or modifications shall be valid unless written or attached to her agreement and any representations or promises or statements.
  She came back to us after a month stating that the salesman told her that this option was there.  That is why we go over the pre delivery and final delivery before she took possession. She had signed off on the technology before leaving with her new vehicle.  We do not honor verbal agreements.   In order to have a vehicle with this option she would have to purchase a vehicle that was substantially more.  She declined to trade the vehicle and spend more for it.
  We still stand by our offer to assist in trading her into another vehicle.

  Business Response

  Date: 05/08/2024

  We are more than willing to work within reasonable expectations and that would be working with accessories or trading the vehicle.  All of these conversations were after you took possession of the vehicle.  Please let us know how we can assist you in either one of these options..

  Business Response

  Date: 06/04/2024

  We can add the Blind Spot and Rear Cross Traffic Alert to her vehicle.  The retail price is $1200 and we would discount it to $700.00.  Reverse Automatic Braking would require her to trade into a different model and cannot be added. As we offered before, we would be happy to trade her into another vehicle.

  *******************at the person making my appointment said that it covered all four wheels. He blew me off. I then asked to talk to the service center head. He was not available, but I did talk to the service center supervisor. The service rep talked to her before she talked to me. There was know resolution with the charges. She did say she or someone did review the recorded call when I made the appointment. She did say that it was not made clear to me that the coupon applied to each axle only and that the coupon was not clear. She, also, mentioned that I did sign the work order. Later that day the service center head called after I filed a complaint on ***********.com. He just talked with no resolution of my issue. The coupon was deceptively worded. It did not say it applied to each axle. The price is NO Bargain for per axle brake job. I would like to be billed only for the value of the coupon $219.95.
