On April 24th, my husband and I dropped off our Jeep Grand Cherokee 2020 to Hendrick CDJRF of Concord for an ac evaporator coil repair/replacement. That repair required dissasembly and removal of the entire dashboard. We paid about $3600 for the service. When we picked up the vehicle on April 29th, we immediately noticed and notified staff that the navigation screen in the upper right corner was partly delaminated as well as several raised areas on the dashconditions NOT present prior to the ********* recommended by that staff member, we brought the car back in the following Thursday May 1st for the teams attention but we were told the damage was not caused by the staff and that this damage can occur "randomly" as Jeeps are common to have this defect. They stated they can fix their damage for an additional $1,000+. This is deeply concerning, as the screen is located within the dash area that was directly disassembled and reassembled during the repair and was not in that condition on drop off.This damage was not random damage, instead was from improper repair. In this case, Ive noticed a visible warp in the dash fabric directly above the area where the screen bubbling began, suggesting mechanical stress causing the issue.Since pick up, the screen damage continues to rapidly spread which will likely make the navigation screen unusable soon.We are requesting that the shop take responsibility for the damage and arrange for either replacement or repair of the screen. We have documented evidence of the condition of the screen prior to this service, as well as videos and photos of the damage on site during pick up.Business Response

This issue is a known manufacturer defect that our facility cannot repairit requires a full radio replacement. In an effort to assist the customer, we reached out to ********** corporate to request goodwill assistance. ********** did offer coverage with a deductible slightly over $1,000.
The customer believes we should absorb the cost of the deductible. However, since this is a manufacturer-related issue and not caused by our service, we have respectfully declined to cover the deductible amount.Customer Answer
Date: 05/15/2025
I am disappointed by your response regarding the radio issue with my vehicle. Youve claimed this as a manufacturer defect requiring a full radio replacement and secured a goodwill offer from ********** with a deductible exceeding $1,000. Your refusal to cover this cost or offer a reasonable reimbursement is unacceptable.
The infotainment system was fully operational before I brought my vehicle to your facility for repair. Your repair required handling of the dash including infotainment system. The issue emerged immediately after your service, making it clear that your workmanship caused the problem. I hold your dealership directly responsible for this failure, and I expect you to take accountability.
I demand that you reconsider your stance and either:
1.) absorb the deductible, as this issue is a direct result of your service
2.) respond to communications with ****** for credit adjustments
3.) or cover repair at another merchant (as you state your business is unable to complete repairs)
Failure to address this promptly will leave me no choice but to escalate the matter further. Please confirm your resolution of this issue by COB 20 May 2025.Business Response
Date: 05/16/2025
As we continue to state, this is a manufacturer-related issue and not caused by our service department. In an effort to resolve this issue, we are willing to split the deductible with the customer. We feel that this is more than fair considering we are not obligated to participate in this repair. Please let us know how you would like to proceed?Customer Answer
Date: 05/19/2025
I am rejecting this response because:
As Ive reiterated, whether this issue is common or not is beside the point. The screen was in good condition when we dropped off the vehicle, and the damage occurred at some point before we picked it up. This clearly suggests the issue arose while the vehicle was in your care, likely as a result of removing the dash to access the evaporator.Business Response
Date: 05/20/2025
Thank you for your message. While we understand your concerns, the radio issue has been identified as a manufacturer defect, not a result of our service. There is no indication that our teams work caused the problem.
As a gesture of goodwill, Hendrick Automotive Group is offering $500 toward the repair. If you do not wish to accept this offer and would prefer to pursue legal action, that is entirely your right.
Since this is a manufacturer-related issue, you are welcome to escalate your complaint directly to Stellantis by filing a claim through their customer care team.
Sincerely,Customer Answer
Date: 05/23/2025
For clarity, there is a visible defect above the area of delamination that clearly suggests forceful disassembly. Multiple mechanics I consulted while obtaining repair estimates confirmed that the damage is consistent with stress caused by flexure forcenot due to wear, neglect, or any manufacturer defect.Additionally, for the record, I was never shown around the dealership or presented with examples of other vehicles with infotainment systems in similar condition, as was dishonestly conveyed by your representative to Sunbit.That said, we are willing to accept the proposed resolution once we receive confirmation that the $500 repair adjustment has been applied to the Sunbit loan.Initial Complaint

Transmission was over heating, I brought It In for repair. It had a tow pump installed for towing behind my RV for projects I go on and use my Rv for Lodging. I got no phone calls. I called several times to get the status and finally was told that my truck was ready. When I arrived to pick it up they handed me my transmission pan. (complete with a fitting for the pump) and said that It had a hole In It) they also replaced all the hoses and a condenser (Condenser was the problem) and threw away the hoses for my pump kit that had an inline valve included for pump operation. (This kit is no longer available on the market). The service manager ******* assured they would make it right and offered a drive shaft that disconnects (third party company) Cost around 2K. The pump kit installed cost around 3K. I even offered to purchase a 2023 Suburban and let them add the accesories to be able to tow again and never got a call back. havnt heard from ******* either.This Is bad practice not to call the owner on something like this. I should have received a call when they realized it had been modified and ask questions before dismanteling everything.Business Response

Initially we decided when he was back in town I would put a disconnect for the drive shaft, that was on august 9th 2024 and his text back to me was "i will be in touch with you for the work to be done" the cost of that is around ***** dollars. he texted me on 4/13 wanting me to write him a check for ***** dollars that he was out of town and just wanted me to mail him a check. i remined him that i had tried to solve this in august that i was just waiting for him to let me know when he was available. he is now wanting me to settle with him in just the cost of the drive shaft. So I can get that check cut to him. We will send him a check for $1,839.99Initial Complaint

The dealership spoke with the customer and provided proof that the cancellations were refunded and sent to *************** on March 15th.
The dealership sent him the same PDF attached, so he can follow up with *************** to determine whether they are returning the check for reissuance or refunding him directly. The customer was also advised to contact the dealership directly with any future concerns.Initial Complaint

I purchased a 2023 certified pre-owned ***** Accord from Gwinnett Place ***** on 4/22/2025. Within three days, I needed to jump start the vehicle. The dealer replaced the negative terminal on the battery on 4/25/2025 and claimed the issue was resolved. Within a few days (on 5/1/2025), I needed to jump start the car again. The next day (5/2/2025), the car would not start initially. Then it started with numerous messages (screenshots attached) on the dashboard. I would not recommend this dealership or the ***** brand to anyone.Business Response

We bought a truck from a dealership in ****,**. Everything was done via phone. We told them our payoff for our trade is was $29k, all the paperwork we saw with estimates had $29k, they gave us positive $10,900 equity with meant the total trade is $39,900. The finance manager called us after running the credit and told us with all the updated information our payment was $684, we gave them the go ahead and move forward with the deal (4/26). Apparently yesterday (4/30) they caught they reentered the payoff amount to $21k, still with the $10,900 which now the total trade is $31,900 (which would still payoff my car)They are telling us we owe them almost $8k to keep our payment OR we can void the contract OR they will pay only $21K for my car and leave me with the ********** addition to all of the above, the car was hit on Monday 4/28 and if we return the truck they want us to repair the car first.Business Response
Date: 05/02/2025
The customer knew we had made a clerical error on the contract for the incorrect payoff balance. We reached out to the customer as soon as we knew there was a mistake. They need to either re-contract or return the vehicle fixed.
At this point and junction, we have not processed contracts or DMV work.
We've spoken to the customer extensively trying to come to a resolution.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:
I do not accept the businesss response. The experience we endured was highly distressing and completely unprofessional. The General Manager escalated the situation unnecessarily by involving the police and attempting to file a false report accusing us of stealing the vehicle. This resulted in the police contacting us for a statement, after which the case was quickly closed. The emotional and mental distress caused by this incident was unwarranted and deeply upsetting.
If the General Manager had genuinely been interested in finding a fair and reasonable resolution, we would have welcomed that opportunity. Unfortunately, none of the proposals offered by them were fair or satisfactory. It was only after we escalated the matter and spoke directly with the Executive General Manager that we were able to come to a mutual and reasonable resolution.
This situation could have been handled more professionally and respectfully from the start.Business Response
