    Thank you for your patience while we researched this complaint thoroughly.

    While we understand the frustration of having to pay for expensive vehicle repairs, the repair in question was not at all related to the phaser issue referenced in the letter from ****.
    Before we get into the repair details, we would like to mention that in good faith, we have reached out to the customer and offered them 50% of the repair cost back, although we are in no obligation to do so.
    We have attached the full repair history of this vehicle and highlighted the repairs that we will discuss, as well as include the letter from ****************** regarding a potential phaser issue. Please note that the phaser issue in question is a noise that happens immediately upon start up after a cold soak (meaning if it has been sitting for a while) and that this particular vehicle has never been diagnosed with a phaser issue.  A Cam ****** concern will cause 2-5 seconds of rattling on start up only.  No noise or driving difference will be observed after the initial start.
    Here are the repairs to note:
    3/9/21 customer complained of a rattling noise when first starting vehicle and lack of throttle response. This issue was diagnosed as a wastegate linkage issue. To repair this issue, we installed a new spring washer kit which was covered under warranty.
    6/11/21 the customer brought in the vehicle for a vibration at around 20mph. We recommended new brake pads to resolve the issue which the customer declined
    October 2021 ****************** made dealers and customers aware of a potential phaser issue that could occur on this particular vehicle and sent out a preventative software update
    12/21/21 customer came in for regular maintenance and we installed the preventative software update introduced by ****************** that was meant to prevent the phaser issue.
    1/4/2022 the customer came in complaining of a cruising vibration which could not be duplicated
    11/2/2022 the customer complained of a roaring noise which was diagnosed as the hub assembly. Although this was not covered by the ****************** Warranty, we replaced this and waived the labor cost to the customer. They paid for parts only.
    10/14/24 customer complains of a rattle on cold start which is cam phaser concern. At this point the vehicle has ******* miles and the warranty via ****************** had expired 1/1/2023. The customers extended warranty expired March of 3/30/2024.  At this point there is no warranty left on the vehicle.
    We made the repairs and charged the customer accordingly. With no warrently and no previous diagnosis of this issue, we were under no obligation to cover the repair.

    Again, in good faith, we have offered the customer a 50% reimbursement.

    I took my vehicle into the dealership for an oil change. While I was there, I asked about the recall my vehicle has. They told me it was three to five days. I paid for the oil change and left the dealership. A couple of days later I called the same dealership to see if they can provide me with a loner car so that my vehicle can be fixed due to the recall. They told me the recall does not come with a loner vehicle. I called customer service at ************ on 11/01/2024 and asked if they could help resolve the situation. They stated the same information. The phone number that is associated with my account is ************ However, my new number is ************. The recall is no fault of my own. I have no other vehicle to use. I do not have the option of borrowing a vehicle for someone else. I am a single mother who works full time and has to transport her child everywhere. I am supposed to wait until this becomes a bigger issue and then it will be my fault because it was not taking care of. What ever happened to customer service. This recall is no fault of my own.

    I am not understanding why my initial response did not show up on the portal. I responded the day of the complaint. I am resubmitting my exact response originally submitted on 10/14

     

    "
    Hi *****. Since no marketplace transaction has occurred between you and Two Rivers Ford, there is really nothing that we can do to help you with your issue. Since you purchased the vehicle from *************, it would be that dealer's responsibility to respond to any complaint that you may have. We understand that they are no longer in business, and we understand your frustration, but since you have not purchased anything directly from us, there is very little we can do. We wish you all the best in getting this matter resolved."

    I am rejecting this response because: I did not purchase my vehicle at a ***** dealership I purchased my car from ****. Are you confusing me with another person? 

    Sincerely,

    I got my car from ************ in ********, **. Not a dodge dealership. 

    Customer Answer

    Date: 11/05/2024

    In the response from the dealership it said hi *****, it said I got my car from a dodge dealership, and it said he respond the complaint on 10/24 

     

    1) my name is ******** not Danny 

    2) I got my car from a **** dealership in Gallatin 

    3) my complaint was originally sent on 11/2 

    the dealership has me confused with someone else 

    Business Response

    My most sincere apologies for the mix up on my response. 

    Because you purchased the vehicle at ************, they would be the one to get you a loaner vehicle and complete the recall. Unfortutely we have a limited number of loaner vehicles, which we reserve for customers who purchased their vehicles from us and for those who have an extended warranty program through ****. ************, where you purchased the vehicle (now ************** should be able to get your recall handled and get you a loaner. You may want to inquire if they have Pick Up and **************** (which many dealers now do). They may be able to come get your vehicle and leave you a loaner. We apologize for the inconvenience and recommend you calling the **** Dealership where your vehicle was purchased.
