      Complaint Type:
      Product Issues
      Status:
      Answered
      I am writing to file a formal complaint against Auffenberg Volkswagen regarding my purchase of a vehicle from them on July 23, 2023. I believe I was sold a defective vehicle ("lemon") and have encountered numerous issues with both the vehicle and the dealership's service.Within less than a year of owning the vehicle, I have been forced to undertake multiple expensive repairs. The situation worsened when I was informed that the engine needs to be replaced on July 16, 2024. It is unacceptable for a car purchased from a dealership to have such severe issues in such a short timeframe.Throughout this ordeal, I have been treated poorly by the dealership's service representative. Each time I brought the vehicle in for repairs, the representative was rude and did not clearly communicate the necessary repairs, even after conducting diagnostic tests. This lack of transparency and professionalism has left me feeling frustrated and misled.On my most recent visit on July 16, 2024, the sales representative refused to perform an oil change, despite a report indicating that the oil and filter were dirty. This refusal to address even basic maintenance needs demonstrates a blatant disregard for customer service and vehicle care.The dealership has made no genuine attempt to resolve these issues or assist me in any meaningful way besides charging me for an entire new engine. As a consumer, I feel taken advantage of and misled by Auffenberg Volkswagen.I am requesting that the BBB investigate this matter and assist in resolving this issue .I seek a refund for my down payment and compensation for the repair costs incurred due to their lack of transparency and accountability.Thank you for your attention to this matter. I hope for a fair and just resolution.Sincerely,Arion

      At the end of Dec. 2022 I purchased a 2020 VW *********** the end of April 2023 it got hot here where I live in ********** **. so I decided to turn on my air. The air conditioner came on but blew nothing but hot air. The car is supposed to be a Certified Preowned so they scheduled an appointment 5/16/2023 (Which was the soonest they could get me in) *********** guy I talked to treated me unkind both times. He told me that I could have drove over a rock and it hit the air unit and put a hole in it. Today he told me that to look at it would be a 3 hour service that would cost me $389.00. The car is supposed to have a warranty but he can not guarantee it is covered. He said I should of asked the sales person when I brought the car if it would cover the air. Who would have thought to ask about the air unit in the winter when the car is supposed to be Certified?
