      I bought a new VW Atlas SE W/Tech in 04/06/2024 I received it with 78 miles on it, Dealership said it was 25 as per the paperwork.I found a previous registration form for the same VIN of 01/23/2024 inside the glove compartment.Car was delivered completely dirty, like used (What makes more sense about the mileage)Salesman showed me the "my VW App" and insisted to setup at home, so I tried for 2 days, I reported it was not successful, I called VW and they found the car is offline because it's locked by the previous user, so I took the car to the dealer two times, and after more than 9 hours waiting the car is still offline, system is not working and as a result: I supposed to receive a full brand-new car, but it was not what happened. After one month the issue has not solved yet.

      I am rejecting this response because: for the third time and wasting more than 19 hours of my time (during the three times I went there) waiting at AutoNation VW Mall Of Georgia for the interventions the part was replaced, vehicle worked for a while but after a couple of minutes the issue came again, which means the issue with the car has not solved yet.

      I am rejecting this response because: for the fourth time the vehicle is being repaired at VW Mall of Georgia shop, this time the car had been there the last 7 days and the issue has not solved yet.

      As per my previous messages and attachments I'd like to escalate the case with authorities or VW America because I understand a vehicle can come with issues from factory, but after 4 rounds without a solution, this particular vehicle (VIN) must be replaced and I'd like to claim for a compensation because I spent more than 20 hours waiting at the shop, back and forth, taking time of my PTO at work to attend their appointments, I had to gave part of my vacation time trying to solve this, that's not fair and unacceptable.

      March 16th I thought I purchased a 2018 VW Tiguan. Three weeks later ******* in finance called me and told me the bank never approved my loan so I would need to bring $1000 more or return the vehicle. How could this be when I spoke to the bank and did a wholewelcome call. Before she called I had been trying to reach them because I didn't receive any paperwork. They assured me it was on the way. She also assured me my loan was approved before I even left the dealership. I told her they would need to find me another vehicle and the triedto offer my vehicles that were not up to par. Weeks later I'm receiving all these letters from banks where she has ran my credit over and over again and even put a co applicant without my permission and I don't even know who that person is. How does this even happen because it just sounds like a scam to me. Now I don't have a vehicle because I had to take that one back and I had already let my old vehicle go because they told me I was approved. I am furious over this situation and something needs to be done. This has never happened to me before and they made my experience at a dealership terrible to say the least. Within that month a lot of functions stopped working as well. It was a very rushed job to get money and it is very sad!!

      Complaint: 21482033

      I am rejecting this response because: my issue was not only in regards to them telling me false information about already being approved. The bigger problem is they were sending my info along with adding a co signer that I never approved and I don't even know who the other person is. You cannot just make up false information and try to use it. What's more important is that other person probably has no idea they are using their info.

      Purchased a 2003 Corvette from Auto Nation Volkswagen of Georgia on 20 Jan 24. This was an internet transaction with ********************* and ***** as my Sales personnel. Paid $600 to have car shipped to ******* after being assured that AutoNation utilizes excellent transporters. When car was received, I pointed out several damages to the passenger door and rear passenger side panel to the driver who stated no English. I immediately called ***** and sent photos and was told AutoNation was responsible for the delivery and would handle repairs. After several more calls with no answer or return text from *****, I called several times and asked to speak with the Sales manager. Each time it went to voice mail where I left an explanation of the issue and phone number to contact me. There has been no response.This was an internet sales and I have requested sever times to have the sales documents sent to me with AutoNation's representative's signature. This has gone unanswered also.I then contacted AutoNation customer relations by email and have followed up several times with no response.All Im asking is for AutoNation to make this right and repair the damages caused by their transporter.

      What isnt the problem with my car? Had my bearings replaced at 9k miles on the vehicle which is rather odd and concerning on a brand new car. Since they replaced them my brakes had made embarrassingly loud issues. After that my car would have electronic issues where it would shut off while driving. All the electronics would turn black screen turned black and everything would turn back on. Took a back in until there was a software update. They need to be done. They put me in a rental car for four days and we dont update. Im not sure it was ever done. moving forward not even a year after I bought it and my transmission went into limp mode one day I was driving and luckily I made it home by then every light on the dash was on. Got home put it in park and it wouldnt cut off. it was recognizing it was in park, but it was not cutting off or vice versa to dealership had it towed first they said it needed a relay so they replaced the relay, so how did the same issue so then they tell me needed gear shifter because I spilt something on it which is crazy because the gear shifter is sealed off and it would have to get perfuse amount of fluid in in order to fry a gear shifter. I end up going back-and-forth with them so I can care who is useless also and I ultimately had to pay for the repairs and they werent covered under warranty.also they tried to sell me on a lifetime battery which comes with the bar trying to tell me the gear shifter fried it ultimately that became a lie because the technician pulled up and told me it was just unhooked that cable was not plugged in since then had several instances where my car has all the lights on dash come on. to the point where I cant even take my car to get serviced where I bought it anymore so what am I suppose to do? Service manager lied multiple lies in writing and cant get ahold of the *** Beyond unprofessional they cant even keep staff. Their constant technician is the new service advisors.

      we strive to achieve the highest quality of service experience with every guest. **************** has accused us on numerous occasions of not being truthful and we have provided all of the documentations stating as such. we informed *************** of the issue with her shifter being contaminated with makeup and liquid substances. **************** stated that she cleaned the makeup spill and other substances away from the console assembly and she was not understanding why there were makeup products there again. we explained to **************** that she would not have access to this area and this compartment needs to be removed in order to be seen thus she would not have the ability to clean the residue that spilled around the console and made it's way down to the shifter assembly. **************** then tried to persuade us to commit warranty fraud by covering an item that failed due to outside influence per warranty guidelines. we attempted to contact **************** on numerous occasions and she refused to engage in any dialogue with the management staff in the service department but continued to be very unprofessional to the rest of the staff. **************** brought her vehicle for the last time in August where we recommended tires for her vehicle needs and she refused to perform the repairs and asked the tires to be covered under warranty even though they are a wear component. we made the decision that we were no longer meeting ******************** level of service and have asked her to seek service repairs with other VW centers and hoping that they will establish a better relationship with ****************.

      This complaint is nothing to do with the gear shifter. I moved on passed that point .. Although the dealership even then Threw several parts, in my car, only come with another diagnostic, and nobody telling me the same story. I never once ask them to commit warranty fraud knowing that I work in his industry I would know better than that. All I asked was that they help me financially get it taken care of because I didnt have $1700 never asked them to submit it to Volkswagen for warranty. Only asked why it wasnt covered. I took went to dealership and took photos of car apart.. make up power. Yes but I sticky residue anywhere around the gear shifter. Nor had I spilt anything. I would know bc it would take a very large amount: I opened up a case against them prior to that because of my bearing and tires wearing.  in my other electrical issues and the prior issues. My gearshift was going bad after the fact. and Im still having electrical issues and prior issues. This electronic power control module head unit and it has since the day I got it.  the electrical problems relay back to the *** unit. This dealership has bashed me to other dealerships so I cant even go get my car serviced because they have to cover their lies , *** contacted them multiple times respectfully and both upset and never got a response even when I was being respectful that is when I became very upset and cross the line but I dont regret it when I was lied to, and talk to disrespectfully the manager himself I have a trail of all of these emails. This complaint isnt filed about the fact of the gear shifter complaint is filed by the fact I cant even get my car serviced anywhere and Im continuing to have issues that Ive had to go buy an extended warranty on top of paying a car payment on a Nothing but issues and no service department to help me Ive wasted mileage, not being able to take it into service department and get any of these issues resolved due to negligence on their behalf they got caught up in their own lies and Negligence that is why they didnt want me to come back, not even for an oil change. Yeah, their BBV department called me literally yesterday and asked to schedule my maintenance but I told her shed have to talk to her manager cause I wasnt allowed to come there anymore. Theres not one within a reasonable distance for me to get service anywhere else, so why am I paying for this car? I cant even get it taken care of. Currently riding around with the chicken engine light on amongst others and I even got my oil change done already and it still says oil change to on and off. Im tired of these warning lights. Im tired of the fear of driving my own vehicle. Its only a year and a half old That I paid over $50,000 for. I do have documentation of several lies from the dealerships like of selling me on the battery that apparently fried during the gearshift repairs, only to find out upon pick up after I declined the battery. Technician just said that it had been unplugged the whole time which meant they also never took it on the test drive to hear the bearing noises so they lied to me about the battery and they lied to me about the test drives the car never left the parking lot, the gear shifter had to be replaced in the battery was unhooked when theyve been able to it cause I picked it up it was unplugged . My car is having the same issues somewhat but worse at times it wont cut off other times it wont cut on. This is a known common issue with Volkswagen Atlass Amongst all the other issues that I see in forums and all service bulletins, its not like Im the only person having issues not to mention the brakes have not been the Since the bearings were replaced, and make a loud obnoxious and bigger noise. I have several internal documents showing negligence on my car and lack of care. ****** down to they just dont want to take care of my car and due to this negligence and me having further issues Im not gonna continue to pay on a car payment with. I cant even run my car without the ring check engine light or some other freaking warning light on constantly. I bought the car from the dealership there. I should be able to take it back. I have been very respectful upon picking up my car. Ive even taken it back to get air filters change and paid full price and tipped the service advisor so they cant say its like Ive been nasty the whole time but Ive been nasty because I had to get Nasty due to their unprofessional behavior. Due to document attachment limits, I could not attach everything however, I have paper trails of everything including conversations of the lies, etc. or me making multiple points of contact out to them reaching out to them for help and then neglecting it prior to these issues

      As previously stated in the initial response, the customer has made multiple accusations against the dealership although documentation has been provided that indicate that the customer was informed of all vehicle issues and options to resolve them. Please reference complaint # ******** from the customer that has been since closed. Although all actions were taken to attempt to achieve the highest quality of customer service for the customer, the management team has determined that the dealership's efforts are not meeting the customer's expectations and feel another dealership may better fit their needs.

      I am rejecting this response because: due to neglect on the failure to respond even on prior issues before gear shifter. The last photos is of my dash currently. Driving around unsafe. Autonation has taken it to the point of slandering me so that cant even get it serviced at another dealer which is almost 50k miles from my house. This thing has been a non stop issues and needs a head unit likely: it has since the beginning. ** Ive had or taken it to service more than 4 times for electrical problems not including gear shifter . Please see link below for pictures as I cannot share on here for some reason. One photo is of my car currently . Has nothing to do with the gear shifter incident. This is completely separate and I still cant even get it serviced so here I am driving around just like this.

      Summary of Incident 1) On 01/22 (Monday) morning, I gave my 2013 Passat for a repair from AutoNation, and ***** (manager) and **** (staff) quoted me for $760 (+ tax) for the same-day service. 2) On 01/22 afternoon, they messaged me that they don't have a part to fix my car, and they said they are expected the part to arrive the next day, 01/23 (Tuesday). 3) On 01/23 afternoon, they messaged they don't have a part still and that we have to wait. From 01/23-01/25, they messaged us telling that they don't have a part yet.4) On 01/26 (Friday), they finally got the part for my car and messaged us that they are going to charge us $2,340.08 for the final price. I told them the initial quote I got + I texted them upfront, stating if their service cost exceeded $1300 after evaluating my car, I'd seek it elsewhere. But they insisted that if I want my car back, I would have to pay $2,340.08 in full. 5) Few weeks later, I confronted them again saying that I want my refund, but ***** and **** saying that they called me and my son to tell us that in prior to the repair that they told us we had an option to tow our car to the other location but we NEVER got the call from them or any information regarding towing service. I asked them for proof of document such as message or call log stating that they called and told us, but they failed to provide those documents. Date of Transaction: 01/26 Paid Amount: $2,340.08 Proposed Solution: Full/Partial Refund

      Please the complete text thread. There is a 6th attachment that we cannot attach due to the *** of 5 attachments 

      Originally we received his vehicle in on agreed price of $760+tax to do the heater core replacement. After removing the corroded heater core we noticed the heater core and the heater core receiver/return lines to the engine were corroded to the degree that would not allow us to perform the necessary repairs. We advised ********** that the vehicle needed additional repairs in order for it to be operated again. Upon notifying ********** of such needed repair he challenged the repairs and wanted to pick up his vehicle. We advised ********** that he could not drive his vehicle due to the car being torn down and it would potentially cause greater damage. We reduced the price by over a $1000 to assist ********** to perform this repair and contrary to the complaint we were waiting on the authorization for us to complete the repair. the only part delay was us trying to get different heater cores to see if it would seal against the lines prior to us recommending the lines. We strived to make this as cost efficient as we could prior to us recommending the lines to be replaced. I have attached time stamps of us notifying the guest of the situation, advising them that they could not drive the vehicle and lastly waiting for an authorization.

      Complaint: 21359310

      I am rejecting this response because:

      1) There are couple of major flaws in AutoNation's response. As you can see from an attachment response, I never agreed to pay no more than $800 for the repair at the beginning (because that's what they quoted us for), and when we tried to take the car out when they notified us that the repair was going to be $2340.08, all they said was "Okay, we cannot release car until payment". The only reason I agreed for them to do the service was because they NEVER gave me an option to take my car out before the repair. They were holding onto my car in an un-drivable condition and demanding that I should consent to proceed with the work. 

      2) The manager keeps insisting that he called us and gave us an option to tow our car before the service happened, but we NEVER got the call nor text from him. The only thing we could do was consent to their service and proceed with the repair because that was the only option he gave us. Plus, he did not give us $1000 discount as you can see from the invoice nor he ever talked to us about it. 

      Sincerely,

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

      Our records indicate that the service department and management team has followed the appropriate process of contacting the customer, along with their sons who wished to be included, with each step of the process. The customer was advised that the vehicle was not drivable and would require a tow if they would like to move it but were not advised that they could not take possession of the vehicle. The customer approved the required repairs which were then completed resulting in the final bill. 

      Thank you.

      (2) You said "Our records indicate.. would require a tow if they would like to move..." then, could you please share your record if you have an evidence of you saying to us that we can tow our car? 

      (3) The only reason why we approved the required repairs was because that was the ONLY option we had at the time. We were NEVER informed an option to tow our car. Please consult with your staff or manager if they have a RECORD or EVIDENCE that they told us we had an option to tow our car.

      Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention. The customer has been in direct contact with the management team to discuss their concerns further. Both parties have agreed the customer needs to contact the ******************** dealership at which purchased the vehicle, as they performed the certification of the vehicle shortly before repairs were required. AutoNation Volkswagen Mall of Georgia completed all required and approved repairs for the vehicle when it was towed to their location. We understand this may be frustrating for the customer and apologize that we cannot provide more assistance in this matter. 

      Thank you.

      I bought a used car from this dealership with full payment of $27000 on September, I didnt receive my formal title any plate for my car. The financial department or the salesman rejected to respond and I highly suspect that how can I drive a full payment car with a temporary plate forever?

      In May 2023, I purchased a 2008 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. He has not put very many miles on the vehicle, and yet all we have had is trouble with this vehicle. It started with a check engine light coming on in August. The vehicle had a crack in the fuel tank and needed a new fuel hose. While we were working on a solution for this, the dash cluster gauge went bad. We took the vehicle to the Mall of Georgia Chrysler/Jeep dealership. It stayed with them for 6 weeks. They were only able to fix the cluster gauge because the fuel tank is on backorder. Since bringing the Jeep home, it has developed a new issue with the tipm and switches. We have already spent $3407.55 on the cluster, tipm, switches. and we are looking at $3000.00-$4000.00 in additional repairs assuming the Jeep only needs a fuel tank, fuel line, and tipm to be road worthy. At this time, it is not safe for my 16 son to drive.I feel like this vehicle was not inspected thoroughly insuring we were purchasing a vehicle that meets your standards at Autonation. We are very disappointed in this purchase and all the issues with the vehicle.

      I came in on Friday, September 30th at 6 35 p.m. to test drive this vehicle after seeing it online. I ended up liking the car so I made a **** down payment on this vehicle, provided the required documentation and added it to my insurance as required. I took the car home on 9/30/2023 around 10 30 p.m. on Friday night and brought it back on Saturday (9/31/2023) around 2 pm because the check engine light came on and the car was stating damaged *********** not in vehicle. The service department looked at it and stated that they reset all of the codes. I took the car back home and ended up having to have it towed from Buckhead to your dealership on Saturday evening 9/31/2023 at 10 p.m. because it would not start at all. I had to pay an additional $99 because the distance from my home to your dealership was out of the range of free towing through the insurance company. I still have not gotten a call or notice from anyone as of today 10/4/2023 at 3 p.m. The car was towed in Saturday (9/31/2023) night at 10 pm with the key left in the garage drop box in the envelope with my name and number. When the finance company called to verify my information on Monday (10/2/2023)I informed them that the key was not in my possession. They asked me to call back when I am actually in possession of the car. I need someone to call and provide and update ASAP. My personal number is ************ and my work cell is ************. Message from Manager: *************************************> wrote: I would be highly upset if I was in your shoes. We as a dealership have completely mishandled this situation and there is no excuse for the customer service you have received. I know we have not demonstrated it to you but we aim to give everyone a peerless experience. We would like to retain your business, I have instructed my service department to make it a top priority. I have my service director and manager on this email chain as well. General Sales Manager Volkswagen Mall of Georgia Office ************
