They’ve had my car in the service department for a month on an issue that they caused with no loaner vehicle,Still have to pay my biweekly payments. advised my coolant fan was not working on my driver side, They advised they Needed to fix fuse box. I agreed, last week of July. As soon as I drove off the lot,my car went into LIMP mode and could not drive over 15mph and engine power had Been reduced. I immediately called back and texted the dealership and got no answer for days! after a week I dropped my car off and advised to Immediately fix my car. It took another week to get any correspondence. No empathy. No customer service. Multiple calls and texts ignored. no accountability Best believe when payment is due in two days, I get all the calls and texts about payments needed though. Was explained the part would take 5-7 days to get in on August 9th. Its now the 21st.Business Response

in response to jd Buyrider, they had my car for the duration of 7/29/2024-08/09/2024. I didn’t need to reach back out, my car was on location for a week and not touched.
no response in a week about the process being taken.
lied to about when part was ordered, there was no miscommunication, they lied.
gave Me attitude and disputed the one star review I left rather tha Rectifying the situation. Held my car for almost a full month.
there is no excuses for the behavior of multiple management and no responsibility being taken by device department, sales department, collections, management to help waive fees, help lower monthly cost, for me spending thousands of dollars on Ubers for Jd Buyrider’s mishaps.
absoutely unacceptable

Bait and switch. Something this company has been convicted for recently. I was promised 1300 down-payment. I clearly stated this letting them know I was paying for a rental all most 1200 in at the time . As well I explained I have been approved else where for a lower price but the extended warranty was something I wanted. I come in they give me the run around and say that they can do 1300 today and 260 every 2 weeks totalling 2400. So not only did they lie but waited until I forgo all other options to switch the price. This not only is morally contrite but just a plain old wrong business model. As well as charging me at least 3 times what the vehicle is worth. I want them to honor there promise and set aside the deposit until the end of the loan or forget it all together. There borderline illegal businesses practices have made me fall behind on other financial obligations. For a company who says low down payment guaranteed and low monthly payments, we are here to help you. lol show me that is not just smoke and mirrors. Do the right thing.Business Response

In the case of Mr. Cory Lohman, Complaint Number: 21981826, we have investigated this matter with the full cooperation of the franchise-owned Byrider.
Mr. Lohman purchased a 2011 Buick Enclave on June 1, 2024 from the Byrider location on Benson Highway in Tucson, AZ. The purchase included a 24-month, 24,000-mile limited warranty.
Byrider has established policies and procedures which govern the sales and underwriting process. Mr. Lohman signed a retail agreement which secured his purchase. All closings are recorded and executed by Secure Close to ensure consistency and proper disclosure. Our investigation found the terms of the agreement, including the amount financed, down payment and total sales price were disclosed both prior to and during the closing. Mr. Lohman executed the electronic signature during this process. In addition, the vehicle pricing was on display in the dealership and disclosed on several documents prior to closing including the preliminary purchase worksheet and buyer’s order. These documents included the price as well as the down payment and were thoroughly reviewed prior to being signed and initialed by Mr. Lohman.
The closing documents were sent via email to the email address provided and confirmed during the application process.Initial Complaint

I recommended my mother to this company and they gave her a car with so many issues as im a owner of a mechanic shop. When my mother brought her car to me right after the purchase the vehicle has so many suspension work needed done and water pump leaking when she signed contract it stated that vehicle was in working and in great condition. They are asking way too much for a vehicle with so many issues and when she wants to make a payment they keep harassing her with treats of taking the vehicle back after a suppose late payment but were advised that payment can be made but refuse to take it unless they get a paycheck stub from her work. byrider was suppose to be a helpful company to help with people in situation they have but lie about there service and conditions of there vehiclesBusiness Response

The customer purchase the vehicle on September 4, 2021 from Byrider 1780 E Benson Highway Tucson, AZ. As documented on September 8, 2022, the customer has been able to put over 10,000 miles on the vehicle. We have honored the terms of the warranty and have acted in good faith to resolve the mechanical concerns. Byrider's warranty and policy have covered $948.94 in repairs and the customers out of pocket expenses at Byrider have been $93.41 as of September 26,2022.
Customer brought vehicle in and said it was jerking. We hooked up diagnostic computer and no codes were found but did noticed transmission fluid was low. So, we put fluid in, test drove and the car did not jerk. A few days later customer stated it was jerking again. We asked the customer to bring it back and to go on a test drive with up to duplicate the problem. We hooked up the diagnostic computer again and there were still no codes present to help with diagnosing the problem. We changed the battery, spark plugs, throttle body clean and complete transmission filter and fluid change. The car was still jerking at a complete stop while in gear. Our research led us to sending car to the Mitsubishi dealer to have the computer flashed/updated and that fixed the problem. The car was test driven and stopped 20 or more times with the car in gear and no issues occurred confirming the problem was fixed.
When we reconditioned the car originally, we did install transmission mount, engine mount, air filter and some other parts. When customer brought back car for a mount we did tighten up 1 bolt on mount and that corrected the problem. Regarding the missing filter, we can't speculate as to what may have occurred, but all of the service work completed at Byrider on their customer's car would not have required us to take apart the air filter housing. As mentioned in the field complaint, the customer had routine maintenance completed at outside repair shops, such as oil changes. In a gesture of goodwill, we provided the customer with a loaner car while their car was in service. Customer called back and reported that the brakes were noisy, and we asked the customer to bring it back in so we could look at it, but the customer's schedule at that time did not allow for that. When the loaner vehicle was returned, we inspected the brakes and the pads were at 50%. We scuffed up the rotors and noise was corrected. There never was a safety issue identified with the brakes.
After receiving The BBB complaint we reached out to the customer and asked if customer is still having problems with the car. Customer stated that it still feels off but did not call us to let us know. We picked up the vehicle and test drove it for over 30 minutes in stop and go traffic and could not duplicate the problem. Byrider then took car back to the Mitsubishi dealership service department for them to inspect. Mitsubishi's master technician scanned the sensors, tested the complete ignition system, tested for proper power and ground, tested electrical system, charging and cranking system. There were no active or history codes, master technician road tested with scanner hooked up and at no time did the vehicle act up. Mitsubishi did say vehicle did have normal vibration at stop due to it being a 3 cylinder engine and vehicle is working to Mitsubishi specs.
While we understand that dealing with any service issue may be frustrating, a pre-owned vehicle, like any other mechanical device with moving parts, will require routine maintenance and periodic repairs to ensure its continued use. Byrider will continue to give the customer great service in the future.
