      I have had nothing but problems. Engine blew and they tried every possible eay to blame it on me. They lied claiming i ran it with no oil. I drove up and checked the oil myself and it was fine. Took them 3 weeks just to push it in to diagnose it. Then took another 6 weeks to make the repairs. When i got it back. They claimed battery was dead and when i investigated it was a completely different battery than i installed months before. The battery locking nut was missing. They offered to take it off another customers car which is what i suspect happened to mine. I also found that i now have multiple turn signals and breaklights out. I suspect they took mine for another customer.The car does run, but appears to have a significant exhaust leak that didn't exist before.While they had the car, i checked on it frequently where i found they had left it unlocked everytime... even after I complained multiple times. I want refunded on the ***** i paid. I want the exhaust leak fixed without having to wait. I want the employee ****** and lady working with him held responsible for facilitating the attempt to take parts off another customers car. It would be nice to get reimbursed for the 2 months worth of car payments i was without my car.2014 jeep Patriot.

      In the case of *******************, Complaint Number: ********, we have investigated this matter with the full cooperation of the company-owned Byrider.  ************** is dissatisfied with the mechanical issues that he has experienced with the vehicle.  

      ************** purchased a 2014 Jeep Patriot on June 29, 2021 from the company-owned Byrider on *************************** in ******, ****.  The vehicle is covered by a 48-month, ****** mile service contract, whichever occurs first.  

      We have honored the terms of the vehicle service contract and have acted in good faith to address Mr. ****** mechanical issues.  ************** was in contact with us on August 17, 2022 to report that he suspected his vehicle had an exhaust leak after his engine was replaced.  We advised him to bring his vehicle in the next day for service.  ************** ended up rescheduling that appointment to August 22, 2022.  We assessed the vehicle and did not discover a leak, but we did determine that there was a blown gasket at the manifold connecting to the catalytic converter.  We replaced this at no charge to the customer and test drove the vehicle to ensure it was in good working order.  

      We apologize for any inconvenience this matter has caused, and we value ************** as a customer.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined the response would not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below. 

      The biggest factor in this case, is that the business was offering to take parts of another customer's car to replace missing parts off of my car. Parts the business never attempted to replace after I called out issue with them removing from someone else's car.

      This behavior is simply unethical and unacceptable.

      After having my vehicle in their service center, I had multiple lights that were previously in working order suddenly not working. One even missing. I have to assume based off of my experience, they may have cannibalized bulbs out of my car to get quick service for another customer, but then forgot to put the new bulbs in my car.

      It is statistically improbable that I have 4 bulbs stop working and one just "fall out".

      I Reject  Byriders response!!! Byrider did not fix my transmission range sensor. They just turned off the Check Engine Light again. I did not have a appointment on August 17,2022 with Byrider my appointment was Tuesday August 30, 2022. I  dropped my car at Byrider on August 30, 2022. I received a call from Byrider September 9, 2022 stating that the car was ready to be picked up. I picked the car up September 10, 2022 the general manager *** gave me documents he said that my car had a recall for the transmission range sensor. All documents are attached to this email. Contacted ****** dealership on 74th and Western there are no recalls on my car per the ****** dealership. Byrider needs to Honor the warranty and fix my car. I have made all payments on time never late and Im trying to keep up the proper maintenance. I just want my car fixed and in working order. My previous complaint stated that Byrider told me that I would have to pay for that part because it has to come from a ****** dealership and is expensive. I was told a lie about a recall my car is a ****** Versa 2015 Byrider has the car listed as silver the car is a medium brown. Byrider did not repair the transmission range sensor

      **************** purchased a 2014 **** Fusion on August 6, 2020 from the company-owned Byrider on ************** in *****, ****.  At the time of purchase the vehicle had ******* miles on it.  The vehicle is covered by a 48-month, ****** mile service contract, whichever occurs first.  

      We have honored the terms of the service contract and have acted in good faith to resolve any mechanical issues that have occurred.  Most recently, on August 1, 2022, **************** brought his vehicle in because the check engine light was on.  We replaced the engine and did some work on the timing chain.  The car was returned to him on August 16, 2022.  Previously, **************** had repairs completed involving the timing belt, not the timing chain.  

      Additionally, the documented miles on the vehicle on August 1, 2022 were *******, meaning that **************** has put a little over ****** miles on the vehicle.  While we understand that dealing with any mechanical issue may be frustrating, with continued use, vehicles will require routine maintenance and repairs to keep them in good working order.  

      We apologize for the inconvenience this matter has caused, and we value **************** as a customer.

      It started on the first day I went to Byrider in ******** **. I found a **** Explorer that I wanted and told him I would be back the next day to pick I offered to pay my down payment and ************* said just wait to the the next day. When I went the next day they had already sold it. So I picked another car. I paid 2 payments and the *** system went out. I took it to them to fix. Thy diagnosed the issue and ordered the parts. Now it has been a week. 3 days ago the towed it somewhere to get the brakes bleed and it still there. Every time I call the service department I never get any there. I have to call *** at **************** to get a message for them to call me and get a update. This is not acceptable to me. If they do me like this Im sure they do everyone else that way too. I just want my car back. Now!

      In the case of *********************, Complaint Number: ********, we have investigated this matter with the full cooperation of the company-owned Byrider.  **************** is dissatisfied with the mechanical issues she has experienced with her vehicle and the time it is taking to complete the repairs.  

      **************** purchased a 2008 Lexus GS on March 1, 2022 from the company-owned Byrider on ******************* in ******** *********.  The vehicle is covered by a 36-month, ****** mile service contract, whichever occurs first.  
      We have honored the terms of the service contract and acted in good faith to resolve the mechanical issues.  The vehicle was brought to Byrider for a brake concern, which was diagnosed as a failed master cylinder.  The master cylinder was replaced and because of the labor and parts operation, the brake system needs to be bled to remove the air from the brake system.  Due to the year, make, and model of ****************** vehicle, the ability to bleed the brakes, requires a highly specialized computer to perform the service, which Byrider does not have.  We contacted a Lexus dealership first, who advised that the earliest appointment they have available would be September 9th, 2022.  We then sublet the job out to a third party shop.  Currently, they are waiting for a part to arrive.    

      On August 11, 2022, we offered to place **************** in a rental vehicle due to the length of time the repairs were taking.  Unfortunately, the rental company website automatically routed the vehicle to the location closest to us, which was not where **************** was expecting to pick that rental vehicle up.  We talked to **************** on August 15, 2022 and provided her with the rental information to get the rental transferred to her location.  

      We apologize for any inconvenience this matter may have caused and we value **************** as a customer.

      ****************** purchased a 2014 ******* Tucson on March 10, 2022 from the company-owned Byrider on ********** in *********, Indiana.  The vehicle is covered by a 36-month, ****** mile service contract.  

      We have honored the terms of the service contract and have made good faith efforts to resolve ******************** mechanical issues.  The cost of all eligible repairs completed at the Byrider service department have been covered, and in a gesture of goodwill, the cost of some repairs not typically eligible for coverage have also been covered.  ****************** has not incurred any out of pocket expenses towards the cost of repairs.  

      Ultimately, it was determined that her vehicle was having engine troubles due to a known manufacturer issue and was eligible for coverage under *******.  Her vehicle is currently being repaired by *******, and unfortunately, we dont have any involvement or control over this process. Because the repairs are being completed and covered by ******* and not the Byrider service contract, it would be *******s discretion on whether or not to provide a rental vehicle, as repairs completed outside of the vehicle service contract are not eligible for any sort of rental reimbursement.  

      We apologize for the inconvenience the mechanical issues have caused and we value ****************** as a customer.

      On July 9th, I visited the Byrider on 91st and **********, in **********, **. This location, is by far the worst location to lease or buy a vehicle. I had to repeat myself so many times about what I wanted to have occur that the location. I informed the first salesperson that I wanted a used vehicle at least 10 years old because I would like to have a used car that I could drive to two jobs that I have currently. I informed the sales representative the day previous, that I didn't have a downpayment, because I wasn't paid yet for the second job, and I was assured that I would be ok. When I got there on 7/9/22 I informed him that I hadn't been paid for the second job and I had been with the first job since May 2021, he continued to tell me that I had to be on the job for at least 3 months. So, after reminding him again about the first job, and the second job (which I informed him that I would receive a check the next week), he stated that I was approved and that I had to have the second job verified. So, I informed him that my supervisor didn't work on Saturdays. I was told to wait in the lobby, and when I was called back, he said the bank couldn't verify with the second job, which I already told both of them (bank and the sales representative). I left after he asked for a downpayment. Forward to today, 8/6/22, I was suppose to meet with *****, and unsurprisingly, she wasn't there. So, I had meet with *****, he was very helpful at the beginning and stated he would help me, since *****, wasn't there yet. So, with *****, he basically asked him the same questions, I informed him multiple times that I had started a second job on Monday, and I will get paid next week. Informed him of the first job, and he continued to say 3 months and to repeat my phone number, which I gave 3 times. Beware of this location, because they are always late to their appointments and when they don't listen, they want to have you leave. It a two way street, listening includes both sides, not one.

      On July 9, 2022, ************** applied for financing at the company-owned Byrider on ************* in **********, ********.  Because ************** applied on a weekend and his place of employment was not open on a weekend, we were unable to verify his employment at that time.  The second time ************** visited to continue the process, when we contacted his employer, his employer stated that he no longer worked there.  The third time he visited, he informed us he had only been employed at his current job for about a week and he was unable to provide any proof of employment at that time.  Unfortunately we were not able to extend financing without being able to verify his current employment.   

      We apologize for any inconvenience ************** experienced with the sales process, and we wish him the best in all his future endeavors.

      Car has been in and out of service since a couple months of vehicle purchase. From overheating issues, to the biggest issue oil light , time and time again, thousands spent with warranty and out of pocket and oil light still coming on. 5 hours after getting oil gaskets replaced , shifter linkage pops off and my family and I are on side of road. This company is ridiculous and refuses to help or assist.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined the response would not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below. 

      [Provide details of why you are not satisfied with this resolution.]

       
      The vehicle won't start most of the time it just clicks ( leaving me stranded) and thats even after the starter and battery was replaced and the battery keeps dying ( its a brand new battery  ) the replacement engine makes a God awful noise and their is a really bad odor of gasoline when I start the vehicle the transmission shifts really hard from second to third gear and I have told them about this several times since owning the vehicle when accelerating the car jumps and jerks really bad since they put the new motor in it I would like to just get my money back that I had paid in on payments for the last 5 months and let them take the car back without it going against my credit
      Regards,

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