    On October 3, 2024, I purchased a vehicle that had a malfunctioning air conditioning unit. Upon bringing this to the attention of Finley Chrysler, they claimed to be unaware of the problem and assured me it would be addressed promptly. However, the dealership failed to repair the AC unit, and it appears they intentionally misrepresented the vehicle's condition to prevent me from discovering its defects. Evidence indicates they were aware of a refrigerant leak, as confirmed by the **** dealership they referred me to for repairs, constituting an act of fraud. Additionally, they were cognizant of several safety sensor errors, which they did not disclose. I possess documentation proving these issues existed seven months prior to my purchase. The underlying cause of the sensor failures is related to a compromised frame, leading to the vehicle being deemed a total loss. The dealership sold the truck as if it were fully operational, despite it deserving a salvage title. Instead of addressing these concerns, they defamed the dealership and dismissed my request for a second opinion, which I have documented, indicating significant frame damage. I am requesting a full refund and the return of the truck to the dealership. Furthermore, I ask that the title be reissued as a salvage title to prevent another buyer from acquiring the vehicle without knowledge of its serious issues.

     We fixed what we agreed to fix on the vehicle. The Customer is making claims that are unsupported by any of the objective information avalible..    At the time he bought the vehicle,  The Title was clean, The Carfax  was clean and **** shows no history of a frame issue.  Even though we did nothing wrong, we want happy customers. As a goodwill gesture, we offered to give him the purchase price  as trade in on a similar vehicle, provided this vehicle is in like condition to when he purchased it, and  has similar miles.  He would have to pay whatever difference in vehicles plus the applicable taxes and fees. We will still honor this offer until January 31, 2025  if he so chooses to accept.

    I am rejecting this response because:

    1. At the time I bought the vehicle, the frame was in fact bent. Findlay Chrysler is aware of this because I’ve sent them not just 1, but 2 frame rack reports showing the frame is in fact bent. 

    2. Findlay Chrysler never actually checked the frame, rather did a visual inspection that doesn’t nor would ever over ride a full inspection on frame rack that is used by insurance companies, dealerships, inspections to get exact measurements as it’s impossible to visually inspect something of this nature. 

    3. Furthermore, the lack of transparency and accountability from Findlay Chrysler raises serious concerns about their business practices. The fact that they attempted to downplay the significance of the frame damage and the associated issues speaks volumes about their willingness to prioritize profit over customer safety and satisfaction. 

    4. It is essential to note that the integrity of a vehicle is paramount, particularly when investing a substantial amount of money. By neglecting to conduct a thorough inspection and instead relying on superficial assessments, Findlay Chrysler not only failed to uphold their duty to me as a consumer but also compromised my trust in their services.

    5. I have reached out multiple times to discuss my concerns and seek a resolution, yet their responses have been dismissive at best. This pattern of behavior is unacceptable, especially when I have provided ample evidence supporting my claims. It is disheartening to think that a dealership would rather evade responsibility than rectify a significant issue.

    6. In light of these circumstances, I am urging Findlay Chrysler to reassess their position and acknowledge the reality of the situation. It is not just about the vehicle; it’s about the principle of honesty and integrity in business dealings. I expect a prompt and adequate resolution to this matter, which includes a proper inspection by qualified professionals who can provide an accurate assessment of the vehicle’s condition.

    7. I believe that addressing this issue not only serves my interests but also reflects on the reputation of Findlay Chrysler. It is in their best interest to resolve this matter amicably, restoring trust and ensuring that future customers are not subjected to similar experiences. 

    8. I look forward to your swift response and a genuine effort to rectify this situation. It’s time for Findlay Chrysler to take responsibility and correct the wrongs that have been committed, ensuring that fairness and transparency prevail in this matter.



    Sincerely,

    We sold this customer a vehicle, 100% As-Is from our dealership. 100% As-Is from the dealership means that even though the vehicle may have remaining warranty from the manufacturer, the dealership is not responsible for any warranty.  It showed no sign of damage when we checked it in. It had a perfectly clean title and a clean Car-Fax.  After hearing of the customers claim we even checked with a **** dealer to see if ****'s system showed anything of concern.  According to the **** dealer, ****'s system showed nothing even remotely related. 

    Even though we have no apparent legal obligation, as a goodwill gesture, we offered to trade the vehicle back in giving him the original purchase price as a trade in allowance. We feel this is going above and beyond for this customer.   However, since vehicles typically depreciate, we must put an expiration date on this offer.  That expiration date is January 31, 2025.

    Complaint: 22720952

    I am rejecting this response because:

    1. The AC wasn’t working. Yes they did fix but if I had not noticed I would have been out $2000 to get fixed myself. They were aware the AC wasn’t working and had a leak considering the refilled the refrigerant which can NOT leak out without there being a leak. This demonstrates there logic to hide responsibility otherwise they would have replaced the condenser beforehand. This speaks volumes on its own. 

    Additionally, I was advised the truck was in perfect working order with zero issues. We all know dealers switched to “As-is” around COVID time. On their As-is” sticker it suggests I purchase an after market warranty which I in fact did. Plus I have **** warranty on truck. Unfortunately, this was a pre-existing and not something that you could notice with the naked eye. The frame isn’t something that simply goes bad or needs replaced like brakes, engine, transmission and so on. This issue Is detrimental to the vehicle in the vehicles value would be less than half if sold with a salvage title due to the bent frame. Findlay Chryslers vehicle inspection of the truck to make sure truck was in perfect working order isn’t accurate. All the safety sensors were turned off at the time of test driving and considering I’ve never owned an a new model truck I was unaware of these features having option to turn off. Immediately upon turning on the following day, the sensors went haywire. These sensors are all safety related and help limit accidents. These features would be something a dealership would show a customer to increase vehicle value. Certainly never be turned off or mentioned. Findlay Chrysler in fact inspects vehicles before selling so these issues would have caused for immediate alarm. What’s worse is, once I got the **** app working it showed these sensors were going off many months prior. 

    I verified car fax does in fact state the frame is bent. The **** computers are behind and only show the very first time the vehicle was at the dealer prior to me owning. Actually, the Service advisor I spoke to stated this information wouldn’t show on their end. This is the same **** dealer Findlay Chrysler called to check info and were told the same thing. Twisting of information to appear innocent of knowing is not ok. 

    and yes, at “my request” Findlay Chrysler said I could trade in “only” for a vehicle I would never buy. That’s hardly a fair offer. More importantly, they refused to buy back then allowing me to buy a vehicle I would want off there lot. The reason for this is then the truck can be sold again for someone else. This is not ok. Title must be rewritten as a salvage title due to bent frame. 

    Sincerely,

    I attempted to purchase a vehicle from this dealership but inquiring about said vehicle on their website. I was later contacted by *** ***** salesman from the dealership, who setup a time for me to test drive the truck. After the test drive I was told they had already run my credit and needed $1,000 cash for the down payment. Agreeing to the terms, we both decided that that coming Friday I would take the day off from work and with the money. I contacted *** two separate times over the next couple days verifying that I was approved and what he told me was true. He kept reassuring me, it was. I explained that I had a ride setup for that Friday and I would have my children and took the day off to get the deal done. Again, I was reassured it was happening. Come Friday I walked in with the down payment and *** told me they couldn’t do the deal. I asked why and he explained it was from having an open account ********* ( co-signed for my wife’s van) which I explained on day one. After once again I explained that, he stated I never told him that and he never had my credit report as he does not have access to that and it wasn’t his fault bc he “doesn’t pay my bills”. It was shortly after this statement the conversation between him and I became abrasive on his part and I was made out to be a liar and was wrong. I turned to walk out as he continued to verbal degrade me in the middle of the dealership. I left. This salesman and dealership has wasted my time, my money and did so all to degrade me I front of other customers. The manager was aware of this entire situation (supposedly). They did run my credit that day and I know have more hard Inquiries for nothing but to be degraded.

    We are sorry this customer had a less than great experience. The customer did fill out a credit application and we did get an approval for him.  The lender stipulated that he must trade in his current vehicle as it had a remaining balance on it.  Because he was trading in his vehicle, our finance department  assumed that was the  vehicle vehicle the lender was requiring to be traded. This was not the case, the customer was trading in a vehicle.  However, the vehicle the lender required to be traded in and paid off was not the vehicle he was trading. This was an honest mistake of miscommunication from the lender to our finance department, from our finance department to the salesperson and from the salesperson the the customer.  Our salespeople do not wish to waste anyone's time, including their own.  Had the lender, our finance department and salesperson been clear on what vehicle needed to be traded in, we certainly would have communicated that to the customer.  We will use this as an example of how to improve communication on loan approvals in the future.  Again, we apologize for the inconvenience.

    I was sold a vehicle with problems not reported to Carfax. From day one of getting the vehicle I had issues and tried to contact the salesmen about my issues and they ignored me. I didn't receive a email or call about it and when you call the dealership everyone is magically busy. I have other means of transport so I waited until I had extra money to get it looked at and there are multiple expensive fixes that the Findlay service department chose not to report to carfax which led to me buying a faulty vehicle.

    I was looking for a 2020 Kia Cadenza Limited in white color to buy on the internet. I could only find one in black advertised at Findlay dealership in Ohio. See attached internet advertisement. I decided to buy it and had to go through their financing. I live in Fort Worth TX. Rented a car to drive the 1100 miles to pick up. Since it was a Saturday after 3PM returning rental was a big headache. Once I completed purchase I drove the 1100 miles home. When I began registration for TX and ran the VIN, I found out it wasn’t a Limited model but a Technology model, which I did not want. I had opportunity to buy a Technology model in white locally saving me from having to travel 2200 miles round trip and getting black color car. I emailed Keaton, salesman, on 2/1/24 and again today 2/2/24 with no response. I would appreciate BBB assistance for an amenable resolution of Findlay’s false advertisement resulting in me purchasing wrong model car they advertised they have for sale.

    I reached out to this dealer regarding a vehicle they had on their lot. After negotiating trade-in value and sales price, I agreed to complete a credit application for myself and co-borrower. The dealership sent my credit to 4 different lenders and secured an approval, gave me my rate and payment amount. We then set a time for the next morning to pick up the vehicle. 6 hours later, the sales rep called me and said the vehicle was just sold by another sales rep. I asked for the sales manager ***** to call me. ***** insisted this is normal practice and all vehicles are first come first serve, refusing to acknowledge the poor experience after sending my credit app to various banks, obtaining approval and verbal agreement between myself and the sales rep to take delivery the next morning. This is deceptive and inexcusable business practice.

    Business Response

    Date: 11/13/2023

    We understand and appreciate the customers frustration. It is unfortunate this vehicle was sold before the customer could come to look at it and potentially complete the deal. 


    We are one of the regions largest used vehicle retailers.  We go to great lengths to stock the most desirable vehicles and price them to be the very best deals in the region.  This business model is great for those looking for the very best deal on the regions best selling vehicles.  However, when multiple people, dealing with multiple salespeople are looking at the same vehicle at the same time, someone is likely to end up frustrated. 


    We choose not to hold vehicles because we believe this to be the fairest and best solution for our customers, salespeople and dealership.  By holding a vehicle, in situations like this, we would have to refuse to sell it to someone that is here and ready to buy it in lieu of someone that hasnt seen or driven the vehicle.  

    I am not doubting the customer intended on buying the vehicle.  However,we have had many people come in with the intent to buy, yet dont not buy for whatever reason.

    Although we are constantly monitoring our polices, with the way we price our vehicles, situations like these are seemingly unavoidable. 

    In regards to the credit report, please have the customer contact our Finance Director ( **** ***** ************ Kfaber@drive Findlay.com) , as he will be glad t assist the customer.

    I purchased the vehicle on June 5th Mercedes 2008 GL Used . The dealership would only accept CASH for the car no checks or credit card payment. I didn't think anything of it since we wanted to purchase the car. I went to my bank got a cashiers check and provided it for them. After the paperwork was done they informed me that it would take about 2 weeks for the title to be expedited since I needed it because I am sending this car to Europe. I contact the dealership yesterday since I haven't seen my title in my mailbox yet....once speaking to a supervisor yesterday June 20th I was informed that the lean on the CAR was not cleared and that they send in payment to the bank of the previous owner on May 30th but the payment hasn't cleared yet form the bank. SO I asked her if they sold us a CAR that the lean still hasn't been paid of by the dealership and sold it to me and I played CASH for it. SHE SAID YES (title CLERK) and they can do that under OHIO LAW it protects them for 45 days. I said you have ahead this car for a month and you wanted my money so you can pay off the lean and now you don't have a title for me to send to Michigan so I can have this title transferred. She kept saying that the OHIO law protects the dealership I asked her what Law protects me as a consumer...and she didn't have an answer.

    Sorry for the late response. I must have missed the notification. Customer is now in possession of the  title. By the way, we paid off the vehicle before the customer purchased the vehicle.   The bank took plenty of time sending us the lien release. We can not transfer the title without that lien release.. We are happy the issue is now resolved.

    I purchased a 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan from this dealership on July 22, 2022 in the amount of $11, 428.50. We paid for it with an insurance check in the amount of $9,200 and paid the remaining amount in cash. The $9,200 check was from an accident from a previous vehicle that we had unfortunately just paid off. I took it for a test drive and everything seemed great. I was in a time crunch to purchase a new vehicle due to waiting on our car insurance provider ( at that time) to issue us a check. I have to physically be at work so time was of the essence. I was made aware that the car would be sold as is with no dealer warranty and that per Ohio law, once I take possession, the transaction is complete and final. As far as what the dealership offered me, that was nothing. The nature of the dispute is- less than two weeks after purchase, the engine seized (while I was driving it) and I broke down on the side of the road. Also, I noticed that between speeds of 60-70 MPH, the whole car would shake. I then called the dealership to let them know what they had sold me, and that obviously quality control was nonexistent. One of the managers told me that the as is warranty means as is and that there's was nothing they would do for me. They won't accept my calls any longer. I ended up having to pay $7,800 to replace the engine and just recently had an estimate for the shaking between 60-70 mph was determined to ht the Final Drive Unit, which would need to be replaced totaling $6,877.64. I understand that I bought a vehicle as is. What I don't understand, is how a supposed larger branded dealership can get away with selling and overpriced vehicle that is basically a lemon. There is no way that they inspected it before it was sold. We've already put more money in that what it's worth and we can't afford the next repair; not to mention, it makes absolutely no sense to put that kind money in a car that's not even valued what we've already spent.

    Business Response

    Date: 01/18/2023

    We strive to be as transparent as possible with all transactions.  As the customer stated, we explained to her that she was buying the vehicle 100% As-Is with no dealer waranty. She was offered, and declined, a vehicle service contract. That was unfortunate as vehicle service contracts are designed to cover the cost of repairs in situations just like this. We will gladly make her an agressive cash offer on the vehicle or take it in as a trade-In, if she prefers a different vehicle. If she is interested, please have her contact **** ***** at ************

    Complaint: ********

    I am rejecting this response because:
     the amount of trade or cash offer was not specified.  I will only accept a vehicle valued at $18,800, of which $11,000 is the amount I paid in cash at the dealership, plus $7,800 which is the cost of the engine I had to replace less than two weeks after purchasing.  Not to mention the other quote for the final drive unit, from ****** *******.  Two repairs that each exceed what the vehicle is worth. Also, to be told that I should have purchased the extended warranty does not give you the right to sell me an unsafe and complete unreliable vehicle. This car should not have been sold to anyone with the amount of repairs required, from any dealership with integrity and hood business ethics.

    On August 22, 2022 I visited this car dealer to look at a car to purchase. I already had financing prior to walking in and I made it clear to the salesperson ****** ******* Somehow the dealer obtain a credit report (hard inquiry) even though we did not draw up any paperwork or close the sale on a vehicle that required any reason to run a credit report. The dealer will not return my email messages. I want this hard inquiry removed from my report. I expect the dealer to take care of this.

    To run a credit report, we need  name, address, date of birth and a social security number.  We have no benefit of running a credit report other than to assist in financing.

    However, we will gladly send ********** a request to remove this inquiry.  The customer can also go to transunion.com and ask for the inquiry to be removed.

    Go to **************, then "Customer Support ", then "Self Service", then "dispute credit report" and ask for the inquiry to be removed. It's a free service.

    Complaint: ********

    I am rejecting this response because: I'll wait until the dealer contacts the credit reporting agencies and the inquiry is removed.

     

    Further, there was never a request or a suggestion to "assist in financing" . You would only "assist in financing" if a sale was closed on an automobile. The next step would be to assist in financing. There was no sale. Therefore, no need to assist in financing. You have your sales process backwards.

    07/21/2022 I purchased a 2015 Ford Explorer. I have driven it approximately 300 miles and a sensor alarm came up on the dash I took it to my local mechanic where he had nothing but bad news for me. The drive shaft, transfer case, and bearings were all bad. A problem that occurred before I purchased so on the test drive I thought how it drove was normal, no sounds or anything. Now I am looking at $4000 in repairs not counting labor. The dealer has ignored me and been no help.

    The customer purchased a very recent traded-in vehicle. It was sold 100% As-Is.  The vehicle had not been inspected, serviced or detailed. Attached are the documents signed by the customer clearly stating  the vehicle was sold 100% As-Is. Since we record our deliveries, we also reviewed the delivery video of this vehicle.  The video further reinforces the customer was buying the vehicle 100% As-Is. On the video, the manager clearly reiterated we had not serviced the vehicle and that because we had not serviced the vehicle, we could not even offer a service contract on that vehicle.

    We went much further than required to be fully transparent on this transaction. Therefore we offer no further solutions for this customer.

    Complaint: ********

    I am rejecting this response because:

    As I completely understand that the vehicle was sold as is, it is unacceptable that you do not take any ownership for the situation that occurred. To have someone trust in you paying $18,000 for a car and turn around 3 weeks later and spend $3000 on repairs. This should be a learning opportunity for you to never again sell cars that have not been looked over. I just wanted some sort of remorse from the dealership. Wether it be free oil change/service, partial payment on the $3000. But I have gotten nothing but then putting all the blame on me. This is both parties fault. 

    Sincerely,

    Again, we went above and beyond both verbally and contractually to be very transparent and clear that :

    1. We had not serviced the vehicle

    2. The vehicle was be sold 100% As-Is (No Warranty)

    Knowing this, the customer decided to move forward with the purchase and then signed multiple documents reinforcing the fact that the vehicle was being sold 100% AS-IS and the dealership was not responsible for any cost of repairs. (Those documents were supplied in the previous response.)  

    If the customer wants to look at trading in this vehicle on a different vehicle, we will be glad to assist. We have many new vehicles and late model used vehicles with the balance of the manufactures warranty still in effect.

    I am rejecting this response because:

    The dealership is just stating the same things over and over again. 

    I have said above I realize what documents were signed. But if you look at all of the reviews on Findlay Chrysler on the BBB, ******, ********, and anywhere else you can leave a review you will see that this dealership sells **** cars as-is many many times. Learn your **** lesson and inspect cars before you sell them. You’re ripping off a 23 year old girl. Who is just trying to make a living while you just sit there and do nothing. 

     

    I will be in tomorrow to chat, and let everyone there know to not by a car from you. See you tomorrow. 


    Sincerely,
