      On May 15 2024 I received a call asking for an updated declarations page from my insurance company, saying my car insurance has lapsed, *** never had a lapse in coverage, never had a late payment, I have 100% on time payment record. I took the rest of the day off to get to the insurance place and get needed documentation, I then sent documentation on May 15th 2024 to *********************************** again I got a call on June 11th 2024 saying the same thing. Each call I have to clock out at work to handle the situation, again I sent it on June 11th, I received another call on June 17th, I again sent it to ********************************** the email address I was provided with, on July 17th I had an issue with a payment going through, so I called to make sure it went through, at that time I asked the lady and she said it wasnt showing I had insurance, I then spent 45 mins on the phone taking care of this issue. Documentation was then sent on July 17th to an **************** I asked the lady to stay on the phone to verify that she received it and it was all correct and what they needed. Today July 23rd 2024 I received yet another call requiring me to clock out of work again, to be told there was a lapse in my car insurance yet again, this time I asked to speak to a manager or supervisor and was given another email address of *********************************** and told it will be will be filed with the insurance ***** I need this company to do its part and file the paper work with whoever needs to have it, so that I will stop losing wages every time I have to clock out to do something that I have repeatedly been asked to do, and have done my part multiple times. Again Ive never had a lapse in coverage on this vehicle, *** always had early and on time payments, the vehicle has been insured since before it was driven off the lot . in fact in October or November of 2023 I had a collision with a deer and with my $250 deductible I had major repairs done to the whole passenger side, front and back of vehicle.

We deeply value him as a customer and eagerly look forward to continuing our positive relationship with him.

      In the case of *****************************, complaint number: ********, we have investigated this matter with the franchise-owned Byrider. ************** is upset with the amount of time his insurance claim is taking.  

      ************** purchased a 2017 ******* Elantra on February 13,2024 from the franchise-owned Byrider on *********** in *********, **. The vehicle is covered by a 48 month, ****** mile limited warranty, whichever comes first.

The following day, Byrider contacted ************** and informed him of the necessary documents required for the repairs and presented him with the estimated costs. ************** signed the documents that same day.  Byrider, however, did not receive an estimate from the body shop until July 16, which was then forwarded to the insurance adjuster. The body shop is aware that we are awaiting the insurance company's approval for the repairs or the totaling of the vehicle based on the damages outlined in the estimate. They also advised they have been in touch with ************** with updates regarding this matter.

      Byrider strives to achieve the satisfaction of every customer. We apologize for any inconvenience and value ************** as a customer. We look forward to our continued relationship.

      I purchased a car from the ********* location and one month later they closed I notified them within a day or two of problems with the vehicle and they were supposed to have the car in for service. Once the location closed I have been given the run around with trying to get the car serviced it has been almost 3 months and the sales person does not return my calls the finance company won't help either. Very disappointed in the customer service all around and now am stuck paying for a car which needs work and everyone has disappeared. Do not purchase a vehicle from these guys horrible experience.

      In the case of Mr. ************************************ complaint number ********, we have investigated the matter with the full cooperation of the franchise-owned Byrider.  **************** filed a complaint regarding mechanical issues he has experienced since purchase.

      **************** purchased a 2013 Dodge Dart on May 22, 2024 from our dealership on S US41 ***********, ***  He also purchased an optional service agreement effective for 24 months or ****** miles, whichever occurs first.

      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.

      On June 26, 2024, **************** and his girlfriend's family came into the Byrider dealership in the evening and spoke to the General manager.  They were informed that since the service department was already closed for the day, we would have to contact him on Thursday with a resolution. Byrider contacted ******* Dodge to troubleshoot the issue.  ******* Dodge stated this is a known issue with the Dodge Dart and that the Body Control Module would need to be replaced.  Byrider scheduled an appointment for July 5, 2024 with ******* Dodge to have the part replaced. ******************** contacted the customer on July 5th to inform them the part has not arrived as scheduled and will provide them with a rental until the part arrives.  All repairs will be covered under the vehicle service agreement and since this is a new purchase, Byrider has agreed to waive the deductible.

      Byrider strives to achieve the satisfaction of every customer. We apologize for any inconvenience the mechanical issues have caused, and we value **************** as a customer.  We look forward to our continued relationship.

      I bought a 2015 GMC Terrain from them along with a warranty. I have taken the car to them for repairs due to the car going into reduce engine mode and gas mixing with the oil. Every time I take it to them they never fix it. They told me to come back every week so they can check the oil and then I was told this last time they cant do anything to it because the flex pipe needs replaced. I just keep getting the run around on getting my car fixed even though its still has the warranty on it. I just want my car fixed or replaced since it has so much issues after 6 months of buying it

      ************************ purchased a 2011 Kia ****** on September 27, 2021, from the company-owned Byrider on ************ in ************, *********. She also purchased an optional service agreement effective for 48-month, or ****** miles, whichever occurs first. 
      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.
      ************************ brought her vehicle in for service in Nov 2023.  During that visit, the vehicle was diagnosed with needing an engine replacement.  The engine was ordered and ************************ had an appointment set for the job to be completed. ************************ did not keep this appointment; therefore, the engine was returned to the vendor. 
      ************************ did not bring the vehicle in for the engine replacement until April 22, 2024.  The engine was ordered and arrived on April 24, 2024.  ************************ also asked for her air conditioner to be diagnosed during this repair. Diagnostics showed no issues so a die test was performed to check for leaks.  No leaks were identified.  Once complete the vehicle was test driven and was operating as intended and the a/c was blowing cold air. ************************ picked the vehicle up on May 1, 2024. The total cost for the repair was $7018.61.  ************************ had an out of pocket expense of $946.02 for the items that were not covered (such as deductible, fluids, evac and recharge, o-ring, spark plugs, coil packs and labor for a tune up). 
      On May 10, 2024, ************************ brought the vehicle in without an appointment stating her coolant was leaking.  Byrider scheduled the vehicle in immediately and found that some of the older clamps had broken loose and needed to be replaced.  Clamps would be a regular wear and tear item.  This was completed and ************************ paid $49.99 for this repair. 
      ************************ has contacted service three separate times (5/28, 6/3 and 6/7) regarding her air conditioning unit blowing hot air.  *********** manager explained to her all three times that we would need to get the vehicle in for additional diagnostics but that the air conditioner is not a covered item under her vehicle service agreement. ************************ did not make an appointment to get this diagnosed. On June 10, 2024, ************************ showed up without an appointment.  *********** manager tried to get her to schedule an appointment to get the a/c diagnosed but ************************ declined stating she would take the vehicle to ***.
      On June 13, 2024, ************************ reached out to Best Extended regarding an oil leak and her air conditioner blowing hot air. Best Extended scheduled her an appointment at Kellys Automotive for June 18, 2024.

      On Monday June 10th I had and appoint with Byrider Colerain to service my vehicle as that's where I purchased it. Upon taking my car that it had been running ok but my check engine light was on. After doing research to find out what's wrong I had taken the information to them so they could look it over. I arrived at 8:15 am. They had explained that what I thought was wrong was wrong. After realizing that it was what they said they had fixed upon purchasing the vehicle almost a year and a half ago they agreed to fix it. After 4 long hours they had told me that's not what's wrong it, it was something else. So i told them i didn't have the money right now to fix it I went to get in my car and leave. I had not yet pulled all the way out to the street before realizing my engine knocking and car running extremely worse than when I brought it in. The mechanic told me he put everything back together. While driving home and my engine shutting off randomly causing me to almost wreck and run into someone's yard which had gave me a panic attack and caused my tourettes to become out of control. The mechanic called me asking me to bring the car back. When I got back he swapped out the part I went to get looked at at first which took him about 3hrs and 45min faster. I think me going in with my complaint in the first place upset them then threating legal action led the mechanic to intentionally sabotage my car before calling me back to turn around to fix what he had done.

      Instead, the service tech found that a fuel injector needed to be replaced. **************** declined to have the injector replaced at that time.  *********** tech tried to hurry to get **************** back on the road, but in his haste to put everything back together, he did not adjust something quite right.  After leaving the dealership, **************** called back and stated the vehicle was now running rough.  *********** tech called **************** back and asked him to return to the dealership so he could make adjustments.  **************** brought the vehicle right back, and the service tech had **************** back on the road within 10 minutes after making the needed adjustments.

      After receiving this BBB complaint, the dealership OM contacted ****************.  He now has a service appointment scheduled for Wednesday, June 19, to have the fuel injector replaced as was recommended.
      At Byrider, we are deeply committed to ensuring the highest level of satisfaction for every customer. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this matter caused ****************, and we truly value him as a customer.

      In the case of *********************************, complaint number: ********, we have investigated this matter with the company-owned Byrider. ****************** is dissatisfied with the mechanical issues she has experienced with her vehicle. 

      ****************** purchased a 2015 Dodge Journey on March 12, 2021 from the company-owned Byrider on ************ in *********, **. She also purchased the optional 48-month, ****** mile service contract, whichever occurs first.

      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. 

      On May 1, 2024, ****************** brought her vehicle in for service with a no-start issue. A *** was diagnosed as being needed, but it was on backorder and took over a week to arrive at the dealership ************* Motors. The dealership installed the **** and the vehicle was picked up by the customer. Shortly after pickup, the check engine light came on. The vehicle was returned to the dealership, and it was determined that timing chains were needed. Byrider informed the customer and advised that the warranty deductible would not be charged.

      The customer picked up the vehicle again, but it soon returned with the same check engine light code. The vehicle was taken back to ******************** because there was a concern that the *** needed to be flashed or was faulty. ******************** called and said a radiator hose was needed, which Byrider provided. However, they later called back and stated that the radiator, which was fine when the vehicle was brought in, was now broken. The vehicle was towed back to the Byrider, and the radiator was replaced without charging the customer, as it was believed ******************** had broken it. ************* Motors then claimed that all the codes were due to an aftermarket oil filter, which was replaced, but the codes remained. 

      Upon receipt of this complaint, we contacted ****************** to discuss the situation and agreed to take her vehicle to a different dealer, Kuflietners Chrysler Dodge Jeep. We reminded ****************** that her vehicle service contract includes a rental reimbursement. ****************** stated she will provide us her receipts.
      Byrider strives to achieve the satisfaction of every customer. We apologize for any inconvenience, and we value ****************** as a customer. We look forward to our continued relationship.
