I took my trim to the dealer for a check engine light on. I explained that it comes in then goes off. Dealer called told me it was ready they never charged me. When I picked it back up I took it for emission test .8 of mile away then the check engine light came back on. A week and a half later they called ask me how was the truck running I explained the check engine light came back on and I parked. They told me they missed a recall on it they came picked up from my home,I seen them drive off from my ring camera. I called them and was told I need an engine and transmission I ask why and was given false information then I went up to the dealership for them to show me whats wrong then they changed the story again at this point there telling me again I need a engine and transmission I complained about the check engine light and and then I was told there is metal in my transmission panBusiness Response

The vehicle came in for the first time with a check engine light back on 06/22/2024. The vehicle was misfiring. The technician at the time found that it was misfiring mechanically. Recommended at the time that the engine be replaced customer declined work. Customer picked up vehicle shortly after. The customer was called a week later to have them come back due to a recall needing to be completed since we got the part in for the recall. The vehicle was picked up by ***** our runner on 07/11/2024 and drove the vehicle here. The customer wanted the vehicle to be diagnosed again to make sure it was an engine. The technician while diagnosing the engine he found that the transmission had stopped going into forward gears and only had reverse. We had the technician diagnose the transmission and found that it had internally failed due to fluid maintenance not being performed. They had debris in the fluid causing the transmission to fail. We informed the customer the customer declined the work again. And stated it was working when he had it picked up. The customer was called multiple times to have him pick up the vehicle. Finally, a customer came in 10/07/2024 and was trying to state we had damaged the transmission.***** the technician at the time agreed to take of the heads to verify the failure at that time. We removed the transmission pan and showed the customer the fluid that was burnt and metal debris in it. Also, the customer damaged the cylinder wall of the engine due to the head gasket failure. A customer declined work for the third time telling us to put the vehicle back together. The customer was told that it was completed, and he could have the vehicle towed out when he could. Vehicles mileage at this time is 163,948.Customer Answer

I went to Steve Rayman Chevrolet on 8/17/2024. I went to get an oil change and tire rotation. On 11/7/2024 I went to a car repair company and while they did a inspection on my car, they notified me that there wasnt any oil in my car and also provided me with a picture. Since 11/7/2024 and its now 11/20/2024 I still have not received a call back to get a understanding to see if my oil was ever changed or if they even put oil in the car. Steve Rayman dealership has failed to contact me about this matter.Business Response

My oil percentage light stated my car was at 34% at the time I had repairs done to my car on 11/07/2024. If there was any oil in my car, the mechanic would not have brought to my attention that there wasnt any oil in my car.

I originally took my 2023 Stingray corvette about July 3, 2024 for repairs to two wheels and tires damaged while driving from ********* a couple of weeks prior. I purchased extended warranty when I purchased my car brand new in ******, *********** and had all required paperwork with me and identification. **** in the service department helped me and took pictures. She also was on the phone with said third party company filing the claim on my behalf. This past March I went to a different dealership for damage on the same front wheel on the passenger side so Im familiar with the process. I told **** it was imperative we get this done now while I was out for the summer before school started. I drove home awaiting a call from ****. It never came. I called her after a week for an update and she told me they were still working on the claim. I called again days later and another female answered n she told me she passed my message to **** and she was checking on my claim. **** then called me stating they were waitin on my a decision. After about another week I called the third party company myself and was told they hadnt received the pictures from **** in the service department. I called and left a message with a gentleman and I wasnt happy telling him I felt as though I couldnt trust this dealership either it looked like to do right by me! **** called me back promising she emailed the pictures. I waited several days and then **** calls me to tell me that she didnt upload the pictures of my wheels and tires in an app! So I could come in the next day anytime. I arrived the next day on a Wednesday at 6:11 and they were closed. I did have the opportunity to speak with a manager in sales and he was extremely helpful, kind and understanding. He looked at my tires and refused to allow me to drive back without getting the tires checked. I left my paperwork with him and made sure one of his guys took me home. A week later, I have to call and request to speak witBusiness Response

Attention, we have made every effort to assist ********. Regrettably, the tire and wheel warranty she purchased from a dealer in *********** is refusing to cover her tires. We have attempted to clarify this to ********. ****, our Service Advisor, tried multiple times to upload videos and photos through the warranty company's portal. The warranty company has been exceedingly difficult to cooperate with and assist ********. We have recommended that ******** contact the selling dealer for assistance with her third-party warranty coverage. Currently, we are at a standstill until the warranty company approves the repairs.Customer Answer

************************************i called Safeguard when I left the dealership because I didnt trust their answer to what was said by the company regarding my rims and tires! I was told by a representative my car wasnt safe to drive! I shared my experience with this dealership and I was informed to take it back to ***************** Chevrolet, where Id had service regarding my tire and rim including SafeGuard and I was pleased with the outcome! I took a risk driving it there but I had no other choice! And its still there in the service department waiting for the claim and estimate to go through! I have no issue with you calling and verifying the day and time it was dropped off by me! They will also tell you a worker took me to Enterprise, a car rental company so I could rent a car! Attached are two transcription from voicemails left on my cell phone from ***************** regarding the status of my corvette! Im thankful that they are willing to help me regardless of my difference from them in whatever way that this other dealership chose to waste my valuable time and put my life at risk! I want to be reimbursed for days off work and time loss because of their incompetence, ignorance and uncooperative bad attitude towards me.

I paid a deposit for an electric vehicle well before the product line went into production. I decided I did not want to continue with the purchase and have spent 6 months going between this dealership and corporate trying to get refunded for my deposit. I continually get met with excuse after excuse but never a refund of my deposit. I am being penalized for changing my mind and not wanting to purchase your vehicle.Business Response

Good Morning,
What kind of EV was it? And were did the client leave the deposit? At the Steve Rayman Chevrolet ? or on the Chevrolet Website?
Ali
Customer Answer
Date: 03/04/2024
This was for an EV Silverado. Deposit was paid to the Chevrolet website via a link in an advertisement email. The reservation was assigned to Steve Rayman after that. The reservation number is 418232. I visited the dealership directly to try and request the refund, to which I was told that Steve Rayman is a franchise store and does not have to follow corporate guidelines and to dispute this with Chevrolet directly. I dispute it with Chevrolet EV Concierge directly to which they tell me they have to discuss with the dealership and that the dealership will ultimately be responsible for releasing the refund. Ive been given the run around for over 4 months just to get a simple refund for a vehicle that I no longer wish to pursue.Business Response

i purchased a car on 2/16/2024. when i had to get with finance manager i waited in his office for over 2 hours to get paperwork completed for financing as my new car waited outside his office. he proceeded to ask me about warranty coverage. he added the warranty charges to the price of the car and put the gap/warranty fees in other area of the contract. when i saw the warranty fees were over $11,000 when i got home i immediately contacted warranty company and cancelled 3 policies. the fourth policy had to be cancelled by the dealer. i requested that the car not be waxed. the car interior was treated before i committed to the extra coverage but not the exterior. i did not request the interior or exterior be applied treatment. i was not told that the interior was treated when car was delivered on 2/16/2024. when i asked dealer to contact EG assurance i was told it was a hard sale warranty and possibly couldn't be refunded. EG assurance again told me to have dealer cancel warranty on my behalf. on 2/28/2024 i was told by Finance Manager that handled my deal that since interior of car was treated at a discount i couldn't get a refund. only option was to return car which is now used for exterior treatment. i never saw or received any paperwork about interior treatment for car. finance *** said he received an email from detail shop manager about treatment but hasn't texted or forwarded it to me. when we spoke on 2/27/2024 i asked him for proof about the email from the detail shop. he said he would get everything together today. i live 450 miles from dealership. as for the interior treatment that was applied to car i will never use the warranty. i guess the finance manager wanted a nice commission for the warranty sales. Dealer should cancel policy or refund me of costs for the exterior treatment that was not done. if the detail shop hadn't put interior treatment on seats i would be in the clear. finance manager acted like everything was correct and doneBusiness Response

Good Morning,
The GSM (****) has tried to reach the client and left a few messages, awaiting to hear back. Unfortunately, accessories are not cancellable, although all warranty and insurances are. Everything is disclosed and signed off at the time of purchase.

Complaint: 21367467
I am rejecting this response because: paint treatment was never applied to car. the general sales manager only responded to the email i sent him. he never contacted me about the issue. only the finance manager called me. i have phone records to show i haven't received calls from **** (GSM). Accessories were never installed. please ask dealership to provide email from detail shop manager that the interior was treated. the finance manager ******* said detail shop emailed him about the interior being done. i believe they didnt do anything to car. if they provide email about the services performed, i will return to dealership for the exterior protection to be applied. finance manager is mad because i cancelled 3 warranties he sold me because they were too expensive. he mentioned nothing about a non refundable warranty on anything he sold me. when i went to dealership to have finance manager cancel contract , i was then told the exterior wasnt done. why was the car delivered to me without the accessories i paid for? i want them to refund me for not doing what they stated in the warranty that was purchased. that is fraud for selling something and not adding it to the car.

Complaint: 21367467
I am rejecting this response because: The warranty that needs to be cancelled is 5011-152970 issued by EG Assurance/ Ethos ********** On 2/16/2024 I signed a contract to have Interior/Exterior Protection on my new car from ********************** the finance manager at Steve Rayman Chevrolet. Warranty states the paint,fabric,and leather protectors was applied on 2/16/2024. Nothing was applied to my car and no one asked me to leave car with dealership. I met ********************** on 2/17/2024 to sign title of trade in to dealership and he made no mention of having car applied with above mentioned protectors. When I spoke with ******* on 2/28/2024 he said the protectors were not applied to car and wanted me to return car for the treatment. It is a 500 mile trip to have protectors applied by dealership. Steve Rayman and ********************** didnt honor anything in the contract. They are responsible for the work and didnt do it on the date stated on the warranty. The detail shop or ********************** should have assured that the protectors was applied before delivery. I am not at fault for their mistake. Warranty should be voided and my money refunded. If the warranty cant be cancelled the dealership should be held liable for the cost and issue the refund. I have included warranty in this statement. If the protection process wasnt done on 2/16/2024 Steve Rayman should refund the $2499.00 or contact warranty company telling them they issued a warranty by mistake. I hope we can resolve this problem soon. Mediation with a third party can solve this problem quickly.

In June of 2022, I purchased a new vehicle from Steve ******* Chevrolet in ******, **. At the time of my purchase, I was told that because the vehicle was a brand new 2022 release, my second key fob would be ordered and I would receive it after the purchase date. The new vehicle sale was supposed to come with two key remote fobs but I only received one. Each time that I have reached out to request it, one was promised but has yet to be delivered. I have been as patient as I can be. I've called, visited, waited and they continue to ******** ethical standard and practices when it comes to consumer affairs.

Thank you for the response. However, the respondent must be new because I have made repeated attempts to get the key. I made contact with ******** the salesman who actually sold me the car and he confirmed that he has put in the request atleast 3x. I've submitted DL info per the dealer's request, I've visited the dealership to get assistance and it's been a repeated cycle of emptiness.
