      On 5-14-24 I gave a check for $1,000. 00 as down payment on a vehicle in transit. On 5-27-24 I purchased the vehicle for agreed upon price of $46,811.00. On that date I wrote a check for the vehicle total of $46,811.00, instead of reducing it by the $1,000.00 down payment amount, therefore I overpaid by $1,000.00.Both checks for this cleared my bank on 6-11-24.I have placed 4 calls to the dealership, beginning on the afternoon of my purchase date (5-27-24) about my overpayment. I have not received a refund of the $1,000.00 overpayment, nor have I spoken with anyone able, or willing, to address this matter. I am requesting an immediate refund of $1,000.00.

      The guests frustrations are understandable. We were given a check by ************************* on 5-14-2024 as a deposit to secure an incoming unit. We deposited the check and at the time of the car deal both the guest and the dealership forgot about the deposit and they made an additional check to us for the full amount of the vehicle. Once they realized the 1000 was not applied to the transaction they notified us, unfortunately at the time of being notified our CDK (dealer information system) went down and we were un able to locate the 1000 extra money from the guest. Our system is back up and the money has been located and a check has been cut, we handed the check to ************************* on 7/19/2024 for reimbursement of $1000.0

      I ********************************* purchased a 2018 ram 1500 laramie from Larry H Miller in ***********. I had been attempting to talk about concerns I've had on my truck after just two weeks. They refuse to call me back or see me in person. The check engine came on and they said to fix it be $3000 to fix. I tried after multiple times to still talk to someone for help and no one will talk to me. Just made my first payment and can't drive ny truck.

      In late August of 2023 me and my fianc went to Larry H Miller Dodge Ram Surprise located at ****************************************, phone number ************** and purchased a 2020 **** Edge and a 2021 Dodge charger. When we went through the contract with the financing manager ******* (don't know his last name) we me and my fianc were both told that our extended warranties were 2yrs/60k miles which led us to believe that we would have coverage for 2 years or 60k added on to the mileage we bought both the vehicle's at. We were not informed that the warranty expired at 60k on the vehicle. The edge we paid $3,543.00 and the Dodge we paid for $2,000 for. I was also told when in the finance managers office we had a $100 dollar disappearing deductible if we brought the vehicle back to Larry H Miller Dodge Ram Surprise or we could take it to any repair facility and we would have to pay the $100 dollar deductible which we were fine with, however when speaking to the warranty company (total car care warranty) I was informed that we would have to take the vehicle to Larry H Miller Dodge Ram Surprise. Yesterday 7/4 we went to trade the vehicle in at a different dealership and when I called Larry H Miller Dodge Ram Surprise to find out how much I would get back I found out that the contract ended at 60k miles. I was very upset about this as we were mislead into believing we had coverage and paying $5,543.00 for a warranty that essentially would of paid for no repairs because the vehicle still had manufacturer power train coverage.This to both me and my fianc comes at massive surprise that we were lied to by the dealership and sold a warranty that really had no reason being sold to us other than for the finance manager to get a commission off of it. We feel as if this money was stolen from us and it was very unethical practice by this dealership. Which is why we making this formal complaint.We are asking that we get refunded all the money $5,543

      This guest got in contact with us trying to trade out on 07/4/24 and we weren't able to help out with the amount of negative equity and their current credit situation.  They put in a poor ****** review afterwards and our finance Director *************************** reached out and offered to provide an additional warranty to make up for the mileage that the warranty that was sold covered.  We are waiting to hear back from the guest so we can get a new service contract signed.

      I am rejecting this response because they lied to us from the very beginning of this deal. There finance manager clearly misslead and lied to us about the coverage we were going to have. They did contact us and offered to give us a warranty that would match what we were told that we had mileage wise. I am rejecting this offer because they lied to us once about coverage we had, and they also when speaking to my fiance today in return want us to take our review down. If the buisness has lied to us one time we don't trust them now.

      When an repair appointment is made at least by the end of the day diagnostics should be given. Not told 2-3 days. Pre-requested a ride along in order for a person to hear the issue. I was told they do not have a technician available then Service Advisor blamed the person who set the appointment. Minutes later, after getting upset, he offered to have the Service Manager complete the ride along. However, I declined because I was told they needed to keep the vehicle for 2-3 days just for diagnosis. This is an ongoing issue since my Mother bought the vehicle 4 years ago. Two Service Advisors are very rude and unwelcoming.

      Hi *****,

      Due to the requirements of the BBB, not accepting the resolution that is in progresses causes us to have to continue responding on a regular cadence here on the BBB, even though we have open communication outside of this platform. 

      If you don't mind, we would request that this complaint be closed, and if our resolution does not work out, which we have no reasons to believe that it will not, you may open a new complaint at that time.

      LHM Jeep Dodge dealership in *********, ****. What a bunch of crooks! I bought the 3 oil-change package a year ago (October 2023) and took it in for the second oil change today (July 27th, 2024). After the oil change, I asked when my third one would expire. The service lady said, because my vehicle is a truck and takes more oil, that I only had a two oil-change package and I didn't have an oil changes left after today. FYI - I had called them previously two times within the last month asking when the oil change package would expire and they CLEARLY said that I had TWO more oil changes and that they would expire in October 2024 so I needed to get it in soon. Hence, why I took it in today. I have the sales contract from when I purchased this oil-change package which clearly states that I have 3 oil changes which will expire within 1 year (purchased in October 2023, so it would expire in October 2024 - it's June 27, 2024 today). So they can just change the agreement like that and not honor the original contract??? I expect LHM to honor this contract by honoring the 3rd oil change.

      *************** sold me a package of 3 oil changes. I was informed at the time of the sale that there was an expiration date on the oil changes. I have always serviced my vehicle at the dealership and the service advisor was aware I do not put a lot of miles on the car. If I had been informed there was an expiration date on the package, I would not have purchased it. I am now aware the "service advisor" is actually a commissioned salesperson. I believe *************** engaged in deceptive business practices.

      Business Response

      Date: 06/29/2024

      Hello ****,

      We're sorry to hear you were unhappy with the purchase of our oil change package. We do our very best to inform customers of the mileage or time limit placed on the item in question. If you review your paperwork/ RO from the time you purchased our service package, you will see it indicates three services or 12 months, whichever comes first. Certain climates require different intervals of service regardless of the miles placed on the vehicle. ********** is a dry, arid, dusty climate which would precipitate you bringing the vehicle in three times per year. Our service department provides this maintenance package at a $0 dollar markup, this is strictly a retention tool for our customers and a fantastic value for our guests. Please compare the cost of the package to anything similar and you will see this is one of the best values in our industry. We are absolutely willing to provide you a complimentary service to show you how much we value your business. Please contact ***************************** ************ and I can have the service arranged at your convenience.

      I sold them a vehicle and was told they would pay off the financing and then send me the remaining money within a week. A few hours later they say they missed a signature and ask me to come back. An hour after that they say they forgot another and have somebody come out to have me sign again. After a week I called several times and was told I'd get a call back but never do.1.5 weeks and 3 follow-up calls later they tell me they had me sign the wrong place and needed me to come in to re-sign. Apparently they did nothing for 1.5 weeks and ignored my follow-up calls. I went into the dealership and was told my check was ready and to head to the corporate office to pick it up. Drive there and am told not only is my check not ready, but that it would take 3-4 more weeks. At this point they have had my car listed for sale for 2 weeks but are refusing to pay me for it.A week later I message the salesman who has my car listed and asked why he's allowed to sell it when I haven't even been paid, and he lies and says they bought the car at auction. I call the dealership AGAIN and get told they'll call me back with a update.At this point who knows when I'll get my money, and nothing has gotten done without me calling and reminding them I haven't been paid yet. I don't know how they are legally allowed to sell my car without paying me for it.

      Took truck into dealership for diagnostics. Dealership pointed to the truck needing a new sensor. I advised sensor had previously been replaced. They said it needs to be replaced by their part. Once replaced same issue arose. They had the truck for an additional week. Truck is now worse constantly flashing engine code P0522 same as before. I feel like I was scammed out of my money.

      Happy to help. However, this page encompasses every Larry H. Miller location, so I will need some clarification before proceeding. If you could please provide the name or address of the specific location you are dealing with, I will then be able to get the ball rolling!
