    Answered
    I purchased a used 2019 Subaru Forester Touring. This is the second vehicle I had purchased from them. I paid full price for the vehicle and they assured me that the vehicle was inspected and working properly. When I got the vehicle home and started setting up the “features,” one of them- the seat and mirror memory, did not work. I took the car to a Subaru dealership to inquire about the issue. I’d assumed it was me not setting it up correctly, but that wasn’t the case. After paying them $140 to do a diagnostic, they determined that the driver’s-side seat module would have to be replaced. (An electrical issue) The part + labor for them to do it would be $1016. I contacted Don Jacobs to see if they would either pay the Subaru dealership to fix it OR order the part and fix it themselves, and they told me that I bought the car “as is,” so there was nothing they could do. I might add, it took 5 days to reach that conclusion. Luckily, the Subaru dealership loaned me a car to drive during this time period. But now, I have to return it and get my car back with no resolution. I either pay $1016 or continue driving a “new to me” vehicle with missing features due to Don Jacobs negligence, dishonest, and very poor customer service. I strongly believe that it is their responsibility to make it right. Who is willing to destroy a customer relationship over something so minuscule?! I’m in shock and will NEVER recommend them or purchase from them again. I worked with ******** the Used Car Sales Manager.

    Make you pay for parts that do not need to be fixed. Lie and tell you they fixing one thing totally do something else. Like about communicating one thing and say they did another. Charge you all this money to fix a problem that Never got fixed
