      I purchased a new motorhome from the dealership on 01/17/2025. Paid them in full for the motorhome. They over charged me on the licenses plates by over $1,000.00 I complained, but they said it would be corrected any I would receive my refund shortly. It has been almost 2 months AND I STILL DO NOT HAVE A TITLE TO THE VEHICLE OR A REFUND ON THE AMOUNT OVER CHARGED.

      Thank you for reaching out, and we do apologize for the delay in your vehicle tags and title.  They were sent via ***** yesterday (3/10/2025) as well as the title being registered with the Iowa DMV.

      We do believe that the registration fees are accurate, however, if there was a mistake in the system, the Iowa DMV will refund the balance.

      Again, we do apologize for the delay, but believe this matter to be resolved.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

      AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE ATTACHMENT KUNES RV OVER CHARGED ME BY $1,791.92 FOR LICENSE AND SALES TAX ON MY NEW MOTORHOME PURCHASSE.

      THIS IS HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONAL AND UNACCEPTABLE TO BE OVER CHARGING CUSTOMERS AND KEEPING THE FUNDS FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.  

      My local treasurers office contacted me to give me a copy of the registration that they just received and processed today (03/11/2025)  BUT were instructed to mail the title back to the sellers....?? 

      I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED BY TITLE FOR THE VEHICLE PAID IN FULL AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY REFUND OR COMPENSATION FOR THERE GROSS MISCONDUCT.

      Kunes has sent me a email stating that they will pay a vendor to make the repairs on the vehicle. They statefind a vendor, have repairs made and send us the invoice and we will process it for payment.

      I have found a vendor but their policy is that repairs made must be paid for before the vehicle is returned to its owner.

      i have shared the vendors info with Kunes and Kunes info with the vendor. The vendor has made several attempts to contact Kunes, but he is unable to speak to anybody.

      i cannot close this case until vendor has been paid for the required services.

      I bought my 2019 ********** Tiguan from Kunes a little over a year ago at ****** miles with no fear warranty. End of summer was dealing with a leak with the cooliant. Kunes said everything was fine and filled the cooliant back up. A couple months later my cooliant was gone fast again. Took it in and there was a leak in my water pump. Kunes said it was covered and ordering parts. Then 2 weeks later gave them a call about when the parts would come in to them telling me that now its not covered. Been calling kunes about how they lied and have false advertising with the no fear warranty. Then noticed my type of car which is a 2019 ********** Tiguan water pumps have been recalled and was never told that by seller or manufacturer and theyll only replace it if mileage is under ****** miles. Which I couldnt do since I bought my car at ****** from them so I already exceeded that. I was with held information and lied to about my car being covered for the water pump. Would like for my water pump fixed and covered by kunes and the manufacturer since they withheld information for me to be able to get it replaced and it would be covered.

      Business Response

      Date: 02/03/2025

      We're sorry for Ms. ******** frustration, and sorry if one of our team members initially indicated that a water pump would be covered by our No Fear Policy.

      The vehicle did not have a recall at the time of sale - Kunes does check for all open recalls regardless of vehicle brand. Rather ********** extended their warranty for certain repairs up to ****** miles.  For situations like this, consumers and dealers need to prove a failure in the part, and repairs cannot be done pre-emptively.  When the vehicle was in our possession, no problem with the water pump existed, therefore there was no repair to make.  As this was not an official recall, and there was not an existing problem with the water pump, Kunes was not aware of the warranty extension.  Any further cure, however, would need to be done through a ********** dealer, and unfortunately the Kunes Auto Group does not have one to assist.

      At the time of sale (October 2023), Ms. ****** was offered and declined an extended service contract.  We do include our No Fear Contract, but that covers ****************** needs only, which is clear in all No Fear documentation.

      We are very willing to assist Ms. ****** with needed repairs, but do recommend that she visit a ********** dealer if she feels that that the manufacturer is responsible.

      We bought a brand new vehicle from Kunes Buick/GMC of ********* on 1/9/2025. We were required to pay for a theft warranty which we tried to decline. They insisted that we didn't have a choice that it was mandatory making it sound like it was some sort of local law/ordinance requiring it. When I spoke to them the next day they stated it is just company policy and that I signed the paperwork so nothing they can do about it. In addition they hid from us until final purchasing agreements were signed that they had applied a ceramic coating to our vehicle. The listing for the vehicle we were purchasing did not have any information about this which increased the price of the vehicle by $4000. Prior to meeting w/ the financial person to sign the paperwork and writing the final check we were asked if we wanted the paint protection by our salesman. We declined and he said no problem. Paperwork showing price of the vehicle minus rebates/trade in/down payment was shown to us as well and did not indicate this extra $4000 for paint protection. This company uses deceptive practices and false advertising. They told me they apply the paint protection to all brand new vehicles as a standard (which adds $4000 to the price) yet no listing on their website indicates this and their salesman selling us our vehicle didn't even know about it. We would like the theft warranty to be canceled and refunded as we were not given a choice to decline despite stating we didn't want it. In addition the $4000 for the paint protection should be covered by them as they hid the fact they had applied it until we were paying. This company needs to start advertising correctly so customers are aware of actual prices before walking in to pay.

      The Truth in Lending Disclosure from the consumer credit transaction that I was provided on April 30, 2022, by the Lender discloses a grossly inaccurate APR and Finance Charge. If the disclosed APR is correct then the disclosed Finance Charge is understated; or if the disclosed Finance Charge is correct then the disclosed APR is overstated. In either case the error is far outside of the allowed tolerances. If this transaction was closed then the lender committed a crime, and if the transaction has not closed then I have been deceived by the Lender and I rescind the contract. The institution has apparently violated the Truth in Lending Act by overstating the APR, and understating the Finance Charge on the institution provided Settlement Disclosure to Loan number *****************. I calculate an APR of 13.7%, however the lender disclosed an overstated ********%. I also calculated the sum of 6 yrs of all principal and interest payments of ****** then subtracted the amount financed ($26,018.82) as the principal, leaving the interest total of $21,360.78, which is more than the stated finance charge. This proves that the disclosure Finance Charge is understated.

       We have a deal originally on 4/27/22 on a Jeep compass with a lower rate but the customer actually purchased on 4/30/22 a Buick Envision. The calls on these vehicles are different. One with a lower rate and the Buick at the 21%. The customer is blending the first and second deal together. The deal she purchased is *******, which shows the rate at 21.9%. This is the deal that was funded. There were several options presented and one she selected is the Buick at 21.9 making a payment of ******.

      Our General Manager will reach out to Ms. ******* to discuss everything and make sure we're understanding her concern correctly.  If there is an error with the lender, we will connect her with a manager from the bank.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

      I am submitting this amended response to my previous complaint regarding TILA violations by Kunes Country Auto Group of Macomb****** Deal Number: *******. Initially, my calculations were based on simplified formulas that did not align with the federally required actuarial method. Upon recalculating using the correct actuarial method, I have found that:
      This discrepancy also results in inflated monthly payments and total finance charges beyond what is legally permissible.
      I have attached the recalculated data for your review. This error constitutes a violation of TILAs disclosure requirements, and I request that this amendment be considered as part of my active complaint.

      1. Disclosed APR Information:
      Disclosed APR: 21.90%
      Disclosed Finance Charge: $21,360.78
      Amount Financed: $26,018.82
      Total of Payments: $47,379.60
      Monthly Payment: $658.05 for 72 months

      2. Correct APR Calculation Using Actuarial Method:
      Method Used: Internal Rate of Return (IRR) applied to cash flow sequence, which reflects the federally required actuarial method under TILA.
      Inputs:
      Initial Loan Amount (Amount Financed): $26,018.82
      Monthly Payment: $658.05
      Number of Payments: 72

      3. Calculation Results:
      Calculated Monthly Interest Rate: Approximately 1.8565%
      Calculated APR (Annualized): 22.28%

      4. Discrepancy Identified:
      Disclosed APR: 21.90%
      Calculated APR: 22.28%
      Difference: +0.38%

      5. TILA Compliance Threshold:
      TILA allows an APR discrepancy of up to *****% (1/8%).
      The identified difference of 0.38% exceeds this threshold, constituting a clear violation under the Truth in Lending Act (15 U.S.C. 1606).

      6. Impact of the Discrepancy:
      This discrepancy leads to inflated finance charges and a higher cost of credit than disclosed.
      Consumers are misled regarding the true cost of the loan, which directly violates the Truth in Lending Acts purpose of promoting transparency and informed financial decisions.


      The attached Buyer's Order (2 pages SEE ATTACHED) outlines the CASH PRICE of the car, but when comparing it to the Retail Installment Contract (2 pages SEE ATTACHED), the finance charges are disproportionately high, suggesting manipulation of numbers to mask the true cost of financing. The disclosed APR does not reflect the true cost of financing, partly due to inconsistencies between the Buyer's Order and Retail Installment Contract. Optional fees appear to have been financed without clear, itemized disclosure, which violates TILA requirements.


      Please use administrative enforcement actions to punish this wrongdoing including but not limited to:
      . Full reimbursement of all payments made, including the finance amount and finance charges.
      . Clear title delivery of the vehicle.
      . Compensation for damages due to deceptive practices.
      . Provide a complete remedy in equity

      . Case Law Supporting Remedies:
      ********* v. ********* (2009): Borrower received rescission and reimbursement after APR misrepresentation exceeded TILA tolerance limits.
      ******** v. Countrywide (2012): Clear title granted, along with statutory damages, due to hidden finance charges and improper disclosures.



      I have attached a copy of the RETAIL INSTALLMENT CONTRACT (2 pages) and BUYERS ORDER (2 pages)

      Discussed purchasing and trading particular vehicles. Got financing approved and was told the deal was good to go, pending seeing my trade in person as I am 90 miles away. I spoke with *****, the sales manager on Friday and made an appointment to do the trade and pickup the vehicle the following Wednesday on my day off. Even received a confirmation text the morning of confirming the appointment. I drove the ************************************************************************************************************ know. Didnt even feel remorseful for what happened, only said mistakes are made.

      We are very sorry for Ms. ********* frustration.  Our team was apologetic when she arrived, but also indicated on Friday when she made the appointment that we were not holding the vehicle, and a sooner appointment would be preferable for such a desirable vehicle.  We apologize that we did not fully understand that the particular vehicle was the ONLY vehicle she would consider.  Many customers look at multiple vehicles.

      We would be willing to offer a gas card to Ms. ******* as a token of apology for her frustration - if she could call our General Manager, **** *******, at ************, he would be happy to assist.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

      [Please type your response here.]
      There was ABSOLUTELY ZERO mention of them not being able to hold the vehicle for me nor was a deposit ever mentioned until I had arrived at the dealership. When I spoke with the sales manager *****, none of that was discussed and he WAS aware that was the ONLY vehicle I was interested in. We had completed financing approval using that vehicle and I told him I couldnt come until Wednesday as that was my day off and I would be over to pick up the vehicle. That is the reason an APPOINTMENT was set up so I would come at that particular time to pick up that particular vehicle. I have seen and heard from multiple others that this exact same issue has happened to them and they had already even signed paperwork when their vehicle was sold out from under them. This vehicle was sold THREE days before my appointment and no one even made the attempt to let me know it was no longer available.
      Regards,

      ***** *******

      Again, we are very sorry for your disappointment, and if we can offer a gas card for your trouble, we are willing... our General Manager has left a message to discuss.  With signed paperwork, we would never deliver a vehicle to another buyer.  In this case, however, we did not have any signed paperwork.

      Our team should have called prior to your appointment and missed that opportunity, and for that we are sorry.
