    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    I bought a new key from the dealership and between 1/11/23 and 1/23/23 the dealership failed to perform the task and told me I would need a new wiring harness for $1,400. The original key reprogramming cost was $100.I paid $100 to reprogram the new key, but after their "reprogramming" the trunk would pop open when unlocking the doors and the gas door would not open, not allowing me to add fuel to the car. The dispute is they claimed I needed a new wiring harness, but they made incorrect coding, causing the problems, not a wiring harness. I have a computer log of their actions. Before Coding (OEM) for Address 46: 13900F880186281B0904058FB0880F0488DCA0 After Coding (VW Dealership Incorrect Programming) for Address 46: 13900F887F86081B0904058FB0880F0488DCA0

    On July 22, 2021 I called, the Santa Cruz Volkswagen to schedule a services appointment for a light sensor on a vehicle, and to clarify if the vehicle was drivable as it's a daily commuter without causing any damages, I was informed that all services advisor where busy, and was offer a request call back (which I never got the call back) to answer the concerned question. After two business day attempts in reaching out finally got a hold of the manager Mark on July 26, 2021 to expressed the concerns, in the tone of voice you could hear frustration as he's apologizing for only having two services advisor, who are dealing with thousands of costumers, and that calling to talk to one of the two advisor is like calling the ER to get a hold of the doctor and went his way in canceling my services appointment.
    I understand life situation, but to have poor communication and poor services to cancel an important appointment, and wish a costumer, quote manager's words with a joking tone of voice,
    " Good luck in getting your repairs", knowing the vehicle should not be driven with low oil level. I had to call Volkswagen, and over the hill dealership for the repairs.
    I have had my share of cars, but never experience such a low professionalism from a manager of a dealership like I did with the Santa Cruz Volkswagen.
