Regarding the issues of my vehicle and my experience at Larry H Miller ***********.I've been dealing with the following issues with their: ****************** and Unfriendly Staff along with: Very poor communication and Unprofessionalism I have never been treated so badly by a business in my life.My vehicle has been in the service department for more that 2 weeks now and I during that time I have been dealing with unfriendly and unprofessional staff. It's so bad in fact that I'm scared to even go in there and ask about the status of my vehicle and if it's even being repaired correctly. They wont even tell me what the issue is other than my transmission needs to be overhauled.Initial Complaint

My complaint is for the dealership located at *******************************************************************. I purchased a **** truck from the dealership on 22 July 2022 for over $54K with the transaction finalizing on 25 July 2022. I had an issue earlier with financing before with USAA taking a long time to release the payment and I switched financing to my credit union. The finance manager, ******, at the dealership sent the title paperwork to my credit union listing them as the lien holder in order for them to release payment. The temporary tags that the dealership sent started on 11 July and after I received the truck on 2 Aug, I had to get the truck registered soon. I was contacted shortly afterwards, on 8 Aug, by the tax office (DMV) here in ******* that the title paperwork was sent there and had an appointment on 15 Aug to register the truck. During the appointment it was found out that the title paperwork listed the lien holder incorrectly and I wasnt able to register the truck. The tax office sent the paperwork back to the dealership to correct and I also contacted the finance manager on 15 Aug to inform them of the situation. I reached back out on 1 September to get an update from ****** who stated that he would let me know after checking with the accounting ***** I have yet to hear anything back after reaching out 5-7 September and leaving a message with the title **** on 8 September. No ones called to let me know the status and is just blowing me off after the truck has been paid for. That is unacceptable but I guess this is how this dealership treats military veterans. Now I have a vehicle that Im paying for but unable to drive as of today since the tax office here cant issue me another temp tag due to ** law and theres no urgency from the dealership to correct their mistake or even follow up in a timely manner. Any assistance to get this resolved quickly is greatly appreciate.Business Response

To Whom It May ********************* apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused and the lack of communication. Through our investigation we found that the *** received the customers paperwork on August 5th and found that there were items missing for them to process the paperwork. They were able to get in touch with the customer on August 10th at which time the customer emailed our Finance Manager, and he sent the paperwork via email on August 11th. The customer went to their appointment at their local *** on August 15th which at that time found the lien holder had been listed incorrectly. The customer emailed our Finance manager making him aware of the problem and that the *** was returning the paperwork. After our conversation with the customer on September 12th it was stated the paperwork was returned but the only thing they needed was an affidavit on letterhead stating the correct lien holder. We wanted to make sure that we had everything needed to correct this so there would be no further disruption, so we called the ******* *** on September 13th. They had not returned the paperwork and explained to our titling department what was needed, and this has been Federal Expressed out on September 13th along with a temporary extended permit to the customer. We feel that this matter has been resolved, and the matter can be closed.

I bought a car (Porsche Macan 2015) on June 28, 2022, we trade in our previous car plus **** thousand dollars from down and the worst has happened to us. When the contract was signed, the sales person was informed that we did not want to sign it because the car had some noises, he said that there was no problem that They would take care of everything they convinced us, but even so I bought an extended warranty that costs me 366 dollars for month. After 1 week they change a part (the noise is still there) the service center says they don't know what it is they need to evaluate the car more, we report another noise in the brakes. They tell us we have to wait 4 weeks for the part to arrive and get it fixed. We leave with the car like that, 1 week later light comes on *oil change* in less than two weeks. We come back again change the oil. ** 1 week later the car is parked dumping all the oil** We have to take it back when the piece arrives( for the noise problem) They change the part and fix the oil. We pick up the car (My God, 2 hours later the car turns on a light that says it needs oil) we take it to the *************** they told Us ( car needs new brakes, reason why is making another noise ) Next day Im back again and the service center informs me that the car has a damage that costs **** dollars!!!! (I have all the papers that the service center gave me and one dated May 09, 2022 where it is reported that the car has an oil leak) I bought this vehicle on June 28. This problem was reported and they sold me the car like this. Now I am in a rented car for 5 days. We have not had peace since we bought the car, we are there every week. My monthly payment is 685, the guarantee 366, the insurance 387 for a car that had damage that cost almost 8k dollars . Although the dealer has paid for everything up to now, this part is very expensive and Im sure the car has more problems.Business Response

I had my car delivered to a big Auto Repair Shop and dealership on a flat bed Tow truck because it had a leak in the thermostat and the company Tunex mechanic said he couldn't fix it. The head mechanic at the Repair and dealership said i needed a new engine, which i did not but my wife a I decided it would be a good investment because of the year and style of the car as a show car and was never going to be driven again. The dealership and repair shop would not let me see my car until I paid for it first. After I paid the $4000+ they said there is no Guarantees on the engine or service. My wife drive it home and to work once or twice and said the gas pedal was Spongy. We parked it in the garage until I could look at it. One day about two or three years later my wife and I was driving south on I15 in her truck when all the water ran out of her engine. We was a block or two from this same auto repair and dealership. So we had a tow truck load her truck onto a flatbed truck and take to this shop. We paid $75.00 so there head shop mechanic look at her truck and said it needed a new engine. So we put it back on the tow truck and we walked next door and bought a new truck. I rode with the tow truck to take my truck home. We rolled it off the tow truck and I drove it into my driveway.On that week end one of there people called me and said that they did not get to do a Dynamisis on her truck and if we could bring it back in to have it done. (One minute it needs a new engine the next they did not do a "Dymamisis"). We decided to slowly add water to the radiator and see where the water was leaking out. The hose from the upper radiator was not put on with a hose clap. This company was going to make me buy a new car or pay estimated $6000.00 for a new engine. At this point I thought I should look at the new engine I paid $4000.00 for in my car. I opened the hood of the engine only to find my old engine and the gas line was ruined by a pair of pliers causing it to fray.Business Response

Bought new Tacoma paid for lift kit and black out kit. Put lift on and cant even drive in reverse without rubbing. Then I went up driveway curb and it sounded horrible. Bought lift they said all new tires and rims. Then I get it they say not a spare. Asked where it says that in contract told not my problem. Then did black out but tailgate lettering not blacked. Once again said not included asked why would you only black out most once again said not my problem. Overall very disappointed. When I went to do paperwork they did it three times. Once they said eight year loan then had to change. Then he tried keeping my deposit. Once again all new paperwork. Then sales guy didnt even program my remote so I could unlock door without pushing button. Did not show me how to use 4 wheel drive, crawl feature nothing. Last 50 k truck jo ****** door opener. Sales guy said you didnt ask for that, I said really I didnt look at truck we ordered, why would t you go over options? Said oops sorry . Did not go over any options like cameras speakers nothing. Truck is amazing every time I turn around dealership is failing me. Last thing if you install this desert package all the time like they say. Why would truck grind and run. I do not want them cutting anything or removing anything on my truck to make it work. If they have to lift it more to clear tires that should be on them.Business Response

Purchased lifetime drivetrain warranty on 2014 Dodge Journey Dec 2020. Followed regular maintenance schedule as prescribed. Latest maintenance visit, reported to maintenance department that vehicle not downshifting properly, ********************** confirmed that transmission is not shifting properly and recommends transmission be torn down to the point of failure and rebuilt. They have now had the vehicle for a week. I have not received confirmation that the issue is covered under the lifetime drivetrain warranty. The only communication I have had with the maintenance department told me that the work could take several months, due to staff shortage and that warranty work is the lowest priority, and that there are no loaner cars available. I purchased the warranty to prevent this exact situation, being without a vehicle for more than a couple days at a time, since I use the vehicle to generate 2/3 of my monthly income.Business Response

I purchased a Certified 2019 Ram **** Longhorn in early 2022 from ************. I also added the bumper to bumper extended warranty.I took my truck in for a routine oil change. With recent rains, I noticed some water leaking at the top of the rear sliding window, as well as 2 cracks in the outer frame, right above the slider columns. I also noticed a rattle in the drivers side door and we discovered that the trim on the * column of the drivers door had warped and was vibrating.I was told they would take a day to look at it. This was yesterday. I was contacted today and told that the bumper to bumper warranty doesnt include the rear window or trim. So I would be on the hook.I purchased this vehicle with 34k miles, and it now has 39k miles. ******* warranty ended at 36k miles.I contacted FCA who stated that the issue needed to be worked out with the dealer and extended warranty, as I am the second owner of the Ram.This is a known issue with the 2019 model Rams, so much so that there are ******** groups dedicated to the issue.I feel that all of this is a technicality, and that I was misinformed on what my bumper to bumper warranty actually covered.I have purchased numerous vehicles from LHM, but the shady practices happen after purchase.Business Response
