      When I purchased our 2023 ****** Frontier at the Mesa location we were advised by the salesperson and finance representative that the appearance package would cover dings and scratches. I was not concerned when I scratched my bumper since I thought it was covered. After speaking to the new general sales manager it is not covered. I was also informed that I needed to bring my truck to the Mesa location for certain services and recalls. The Mesa location is over 100 miles from our home and when I arrived was advised the ****** location could have provided the services. From the start of working with the finance manager when purchasing the truck where we were promised a lower rate than told to purchase more packages which raised the amount to being advised the package purchased did not cover dings and scratches. The new sales manager approved a full credit for the package. However, I have never been so disappointed by the fraudulent information shared with me that I would now want the full amount owed on my loan and be done with ******.

      To whom it may concern,

      With regard to what this client believes is covered or not covered under the appearance package contract, each client is given a copy of any and all contracts.  The appearance package is only for paintless dent repairs, some restrictions do apply.  Since we cannot deny or confirm what was said or implied our sales manager has offered to refund the client the entire amount of the appearance package.  The client has been notified of this.  Our understanding is the client was going to come in to sign the request for contract cancellation.  The client has not done so.  

      With regard to location of repairs, maintenance, recalls and all factory warranty repairs can be completed at any ****** dealership in the contiguous *************.  If the client requires maintenance or repairs that are covered under a ********** contract the client must go to a Larry Miller Dealership.  Some exceptions exist.  The client should read their contract for an explanation of these exceptions or give any Larry Miller service department a call.

      With regard to the clients request to pay the balance of the loan, we offered the client the maximum allowable amount for the vehicle.  Unfortunately, the maximum allowable amount does not pay off the loan.

      I am rejecting this response because: I called the location to let them know I needed to reschedule.  I emailed and also did chat to get a hold to notify of reschedule.  Never received a response.  I live in ****** can the document be signed by my step daughter who lives there or can it be emailed to me to sign.

      Tell us why here...Response to BBB Complaint Case # ********

      **** **** purchased a new 2022 Dodge Charger in May of 2023.
      After not being able to obtain Lender Financing Dealership asked Mr. **** to
      return vehicle. At that time Mr. **** provided a Co-Signer to try and obtain Financing.
      Dealership was able to obtain a Lender approval. When the contract was in for
      funding the contract was kicked in funding for lack of documents Lender was requesting
      from Mr. ****.
      The Dealership was working with different Lenders on behalf
      of Mr. **** and was not able to obtain financing. Mr. **** damaged the rear
      rims and tires in this time frame. Mr. **** drove the 2022 Charger from May
      2023 until March 2024. In this time Mr. **** did not make any car payments. Mr.
      **** put approximately 21,000 miles on the new 2022 Dodge Charger. Dealership defiantly
      doesn’t owe Mr. **** anything. Dealership has vehicle back and will not ask Mr.
      **** for compensation for miles and damage accrued on the 2022 Dodge Charger.

I am driving a brand new car less than **** miles on it and the Radio does not work properly. I need some recourse against this dealership.

      On 5/13/23 I (wrote a check for) bought a 23' ******* Santa **** from Larry Miller *******. After all the paperwork had been signed I was taken outside for a walk through explaining how everything worked on the vehicle. On a final walk around I noticed that the sliding cover for the bed of my vehicle didn't close and latch like it should, after many attempts by myself and *********** employee it still wouldn't close correctly. He told me that he would make note of it and to call the service manager in a few days to find out when this can be fixed. I have tried several times to call the manager with no luck and with no call back after leaving my number. I have gone to the dealership several times and every time I have asked for the manager they seemed to always be in a meeting. I want this part replaced, I bought a new vehicle and I want it to operate like a new vehicle should.

      ****************** not good, at all. I (Not a mechanic and certainly not a ****** mechanic) found out with 30 minutes of online research that I had a Valet key and it can not be used to make extra keys. Well, I bought a Sequoia that only had 1 key and it was a Valet key. I also learned that locksmiths with ****************** can clone the key so it works. So I call Larry Miller ****** and they tell me they can and I told them twice it was a Valet key and they told me they could make another key for me. I drop it off and ask them to let me know if it will go over $200 and 2 hours later I have to ask how much longer it would be (they quoted 1.5 hours). It turns out they can not make a spare key, but they did program the *** that I already programed myself and never asked them to do anything to and they charged me $325 for essentially cutting a key I bought in the parts department and it will open the doors, but not start the darn car. Their solution was to extort me for $1500 for an new ECU.I have heard ****** service is great, but these clowns don't know a thing about ******s if it took them 2 hours to figure out want a dope like me could figure out in 30 minutes of web browsing, that is a very bad sign. ****** service is BY FAR the most clueless bunch of yahoos I've dealt with. I guess it is good that they are reliable because you don't want to deal with these thieves. Buy a ****** their mechanics know what they are doing at least.Save $325 and 2 hours of your life and find someone else to do the work you need done.

      We have found a 3rd party company that can assist you with programming the key to your truck. It is never our intention to give information that is incorrect.  We did not sell you your vehicle, nor did we sell you the key.  We did, however, give you the options that we can do and the options that were given by Toyota.  We have been unable to reach you, so if you would like our help, please let us know.

      I purchased a 2014 ****** Forester from Larry H Miller ****** 2 years 4 months ago. When I purchased the car I purchased a 4 year ***** mile comprehensive warranty with the car for an additional ****. Total paid was *****. The issue is they sold me a warranty that does not cover parts due to rust that was on the vehicle when I bought it. When I purchased the car I asked them To fix the brakes and they test drove it and said everything was fine. So I bought the car. A couple weeks later I took the car to a ****** repair shop to have the emergency brake inspected and tightened and they discovered it actually didnt even have one and all parts were rusted away. I took it back to the dealership to have them explain this to me why I was sold a car without an emergency brake and a warranty that doesnt cover the parts that were not even on the car due to rust. I was told by the used car manager that this happens all the time and they would fix it and they did for free at a total of **** dollars. I then asked them before I took the car back is there any other parts on the car that are not going to be covered due to rust and the service writer who helped me said no everything looks fine. That was not true I received an estimate from one of there other dealerships for over ***** dollars of repairs which some of the repairs are not covered due to the existing rust that was on the car when I bought it. If a pre inspection for the warranty was done properly they never would have sold me a warranty as it would not qualify. I never intended to buy a rusted out vehicle or warranty that doesnt cover parts listed due to rust. What Im asking for is the dealership to buy the car back for ***** and a refund for the remainder of the warranty.

      My wife and I paid Larry H Miller for a warranty program that they provide through Total Cate Auto for our Jeep Cherokee. We started this warranty last year. As of October 13th 2023, we filed to cancel this program. We have contacted *************** and they have proceeded to cancel things on their end. It is now on Larry H Miller. We have called a dozen times since October 13th to cancel, and we continually get no response, we are sent to voicemail, and no one responds. I did get ahold of someone a few weeks ago that said they would get back to us once they speak with accounting. They never got back to us and have proceeded to charge us twice since the original cancellation request. At this rate we assume we will get charged for December as well. We are quite frustrated about this entire experience. Any help is appreciated.
