    On September 10th, 2024, I purchased an automobile from the Heritage Honda Bel Air Dealership located at ******************************************************* I financed the car through the *************************. The car that I purchased make and model was a 2021 ***** CX5. The total pri ce I paid for the vehicle was $31,664.00. This dollar amount included the actual price of the vehicle ($25.700.00), $3000.00 (Extended Contract), and $2964.00 (taxes ($1722.00), $55.00 (Temporary tag), $20.00 (Electronic Filing Fee, $367.00 ********************** and $800.00 (Doc Fee).My wife and I left the Dealership after several hours which consisted of a protracted sales pitch regarding an **************** Contract. Approximately two weeks after the purchase the ************************* (****) notified me that they had not received the requisite paperwork establishing that they were the lienholder of the loan. Within a few days of having received the notice from the ****, we drove from our home in **********, ************ and went back to Heritage Honda. I was assisted by Mr. **** ******** (Finance Mgr.) and he reassurd me that the lienholder issue would be resolved. He also issued me my 2nd temporary tag. Approximately two more weeks later, I was issued a "Dealership Tag" by the then Dealership Mgr. Mr. ***** *****.I am still currently driving the car that I purchased from Heritage Honda on September 10th, 2024, with a Maryland Dealership Tag and the current date is February 27th, 2025! I have spoken with the Heritage Honda Sales Mgr. Mr. ***** ********, and the MIle One Heritage Division Regional Director of Operations, Mr. ****** *****. I still have not received my Pennsylvania License Plate. I have paid my loan off and I still do not possess my Pennsylvania license plate and title to the car that I purchased almost 6 months ago. I have called Mr. ***** several times, where he was previously available, he no longer responds to my calls and emails. I badly need BBB's help.

    My primary complaint is that I was sold a car by Heritage Honda of Bel Air in which they did not possess the title for.  I had been promised that I would receive my Pennsylvania license plate and title months ago.  I have currently no documents showing I own the vehicle.  I also cannot have the car registered and inspected in my home state(**) due to the missing paper work.  I have been driving for over 2 months with a Maryland "Dealership" tag.  Is it legal for a Car Dealership to sell a car without the title in their possession?

    Did Alignment on car without putting correct tire pressure in my Car Tires Tire pressure was set at 36 psi on all 4 wheels. Tire was was supposed to be set at 32 psi. on all 4 wheels. I have a copy of alignment.. my rear drivers side camber is out of specs. and my front driver side camber is out of specs. Also, I was informed by another mechanic who works there that alot of weight in the trunk of car can cause alignment to be out of specifications. The .mechanic who did my alignment didn t tell me this, hes a professional, he knows this ! Why couldn t he tell me. This is my second attempt to correct this alignment issue. The first time they lost my hub ec centric ring that I had to order and pay for from a after .market company.and than I had to pay this dealership to install them. Also, my tire pressure was 10 pounds off in the front of passengers side the first time they did alignment. They have given me a hard way to go.

    We purchased a 2021 Jeep Gladiator from this dealership on June 30, 2023. Upon signing the documents we expressed our desire to have our personalized (NJ) registration and tags transferred to this vehicle. We provided the registration card and was assured this request would be completed. We made our salesperson aware as well. Our temporary tag was valid for two (2) months. On or about August 30, 2023, we received license plates and registration that were in error. The registration was improper and not registered as requested. We immediately contacted the dealership and spoke with the sales manager and finance manager. They acted surprised as they clearly were familiar with the original request. We were assured again that they would get resolution. They sent us another temporary tag. They assured us again, they would look into this matter and advise us. Two (2) more months later, now November 2023, the temporary tag has expired, there has been no contact from One Mile or response to our concerns. The Jeep is still improperly registered, if registered in our State at all in. We have sent a number of emails, left voice messages and spoke with a live representative AND still have no resolve.

    Business Response

    Date: 11/20/2023

    The Jeep has been properly tagged in NJ.  The transfer was unable to be completed due to the tag coming off a car an attempting to be transferred to a truck, NJ declined the request to complete this transfer.  The Jeep is registered in NJ correctly.

    why would you close the complaint especially during the holidays.  No we have not heard anything from the dealership and that lame excuse you posted regarding the registration being transferred from a car to a truck is a lie.  The tag were being transferred from a sedan to a jeep (not a truck).  No special tag is needed other than the tags we had on the vehicle.  Further proof as we have not received any response regarding this matter from the dealership.  Thanks alot BBB, you made this helpful as we end with the same as we started.  This is a poor response and outcome from you.  This is a holiday season and not a regular work week. Very disappointing and I guess like the business in Maryland you got another case closed.

    I went to Heritage Honda of Belair on 7/11/23 in the late evening and purchased my car. Everyone was great except I strongly feel that they distracted me on purpose to sign up for their Diamond protection package that I stated multiple times that I did not want that I only wanted gap. They included it in the price after they negotiated a price knowing that I needed to cut anything I didn’t need out to fit my budget , and didn’t tell me. Then when signing the person working with us clearly used a distraction tactic and went through signing extremely fast while distracting me by talking to my boyfriend. He had me sign for the $1500 even though I stated that I didn’t want it multiple times. I tried speaking with multiple managers there but they all pointed out since I signed the form they couldn’t do anything to refund me. Not taking into consideration that I was misled and distracted on purpose to sell me the plan. They weren’t willing to do anything to resolve my multiple attempts. I just want a refund for the plan that I did not want.

    Business Response

    Date: 09/22/2023

    This is completely untrue we have offered before to show her all documents signed.  We did not move quickly through the deal and have her sign fast.  She can come and see how long the deal took to the second because we have a tool that measures the time spent at every part of the signature process.  There has been no deception and the product she purchased is nonrefundable once applied.  No refund will be issued.  If she would like to go through the documents or time it took she will need to come to the store and sit with a manager.

     

    Business Response

    Date: 09/25/2023

    This product is applied to the car and once it was applied it is not eligible for cancellation.  We will not be refunding for the plan you signed paperwork and had applied to your vehicle.  If you would like to see the paperwork or the amount of time you spent signing the paperwork, you will need to come to the store and a manager can show it all to you.

    8/29/23 I picked up my honda odyssey 2023 expecting my car repaired only to be told they wouldnt/couldn't fix it. I bought this car from them July 2023. The issue was with the android auto and the only data port in the car. It will not connect any android phone unless 1 very special cord is used. Yet the same car works with any apple phone and any cord combo. Yet my Phone and a variety of cords work in other Hondas. I would never have bought the car if it was broken the day I bought it nor will I accept the brush off that this $43K CAR just won't work an android phone. They wouldn't even give me a cord that did work with the phone, stating that no new cars come with cords. Yet this new car is supposed to connect any compatible android phone. I want my phone to work with the car. Period. The only resolution I will accept is when I have a honda odyssey 2023 sonic gray sport that allows you to use all its promised features.

    Business Response

    Date: 09/05/2023

    We are happy to repair the odyssey.  You will need to bring it into Honda Bel Air service.  They will then need to verify concern and involve Honda the manufacturer in their findings.  Honda the manufacturer will then offer the repair/solution to your problem.  ********************** will reach out to you shortly to setup an appointment to diagnosis your problem.

    I am requesting towing ,a rental vehicle, and my $500 back as well as proper repairs or a settlement to buy a new vehicle. I do have paperwork but it's in the vehicle 4hrs away *November 2022. Major problem was my rack opinion steering and a leak. I had some other work done but the rack opinion was still under my warranty. So they replaced it everything seemed good. *March 2023 (4 months later) Same issue happened took it back they replaced it again. Seemed fine again. *May 2023 (2 months later) They said that they had replaced it initially with an after market part. They suggested that they should replace it with an actual Honda part. That just miraculously became available. But I would have to pay for it Since the warranty now only covers the after market part Because that's what they replaced it with without my knowledge. So I argued with them and talked down the price that they were going to charge me. Initially, they were gonna charge me over $800 which included labor. I said hell no, so finally they were like Okay we will cover labor as long as you cover the part (that again should have been covered) . So i paid $500 **July 2023 (2 months later again) Car dies while im in Ocean city md 152 miles away from home. And it's definitely the same part again Because it made the same jerking motions and noises as it did before and it's super hard to steer. I was not even going to attempt driving at home in the least bit. Not only was it slowly dying and coming to a halt. And the steering wasn't working anyway. At this point, either my vehicle is a lemon Or they're not actually fixing the root cause of the problem. Again it's a honda and it only has 100k miles on it. This shouldn't be happening and I have to go back every two months To get it fixed or For them to put a band aid on it . It's a hazard for me and my three children To be driving in a vehicle over and over that starts shaking randomly And the steering starts going out before the car dies

    I bought a brand new 2016 Honda Civic from Heritage Honda Bel Air. Since the beginning I had been in multiple times for electric problems with my radio and AC issues. I had been in 7 times for AC blowing warm on drivers side trying to get it fixed. Every 1-6 months or so it would blow warm again on one side. It wasn't until I was out of warranty (3 months out of warranty to be exact) that they told me my compressor needed replaced and it would be 1695$ to replace. I had been in for this same issue SEVEN times over the course of 3-4 years trying to get this fixed right. It wasn't until I had to call in to Honda corporate myself that I could get any attention from this dealership to try to make this right and it is still costing me 513$ dollars to replace the problem I have been in for 6 other times. I should not have to pay for an issue that they have not been able to fix properly since July of 2018!!! (If it was fixed right any other time I came in, it would have been under my warranty) instead I get sent home with a recharge to last me a few days to months until it all leaks out again. I will not recommend this dealership to anyone and I will not be buying another vehicle from here. I am very disappointed at how this was handled . I spoke to my advisor Tony and to the service manager Chrissy who I thought would help to make it right but failed to show any sympathy for all the failed service appointments in my record and the time I wasted in the shop. They should have made this right from seeing my documented history of service on this vehicle. On top of this, when I left a negative review explaining what happened to me on their Facebook page, they commented on my review and said that these events did not take place.... when they did and I have the paperwork to prove it!

    Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2022/08/04) */ We have processed everything based on the warranty and goodwill that Honda provides. Any refund would need to be requested and provided by Honda directly. The last repair was done under goodwill and Honda funded 70% of repair due to the factory warranty being expired.
