  My account number with ****************** is ***********. Date of purchase: 12/9/23 Vehicle Make And Model: 2021 ****** Rogue AWD Various Issues with the vehicle including:CVT Errors Front USB Port requires replacement Clicking sound when applying brake Button for adaptive cruise control loose on the steering wheel Shitfer selector needs to be replaced Blind spot indicators are faded and need to be replaced I paid $1,500.00 down for this product. Payment was made by credit card. I contacted ************************* on January 19, 2023, and explained that the product was unsatisfactory. **** was emailed on 1.19.23 and provided with a copy of the invoice given to me by *********************************, the automobile manufacturer I was referred to. When I spoke with **** it was explained to me that he would speak with whomever is in charge of extended service contracts at Graff Chevrolet. Based on the outcome of that conversation, it would be determined if repairs would be made to the vehicle, or if I would be provided with a replacement. Failure to receive an appropriate response to this problem has prompted me to write directly to you. Given the various issues that I have had with the vehicle prior to 30 days beyond the purchase date, I have had to submit the vehicle for repair no less than 4 times for inspection and repairs. The vehicle was sent to ********* for break inspection on a couple of occasions, and to ********************************* a couple of times as well. The vehicle was kept by ***************** for repairs for almost 3 weeks starting from the 3rd of January. This has created hardships for me as I use it for transportation to and from work primarily.

  We will try our best to trade him out of this car if that is what he wants.

  If 0 stars could be given, I would do it, I gave my money from Down Payment 4K, and I had my good credit 700 points since I bought my truck the first day from Mrs. Madison and the used car supervisor Carlos told me that he could not do anything that That truck was good and it turned off, then they gave it to me saying they had nothing, and again a month they let me down when I call them they tell me they can't do anything and they send me to Don Davis in Arlington. The truck had a damaged alternator, the computer and the battery, they were there from May 22 to September to give me my truck and it didn't last a month to be fixed and the alternator and the water pump were damaged again, it lasted two more months and they delivered it to me and not even in 3 days did it damage again, it's frustrating because I haven't had that truck for even a year now in January it's going to be a year and I've already fixed more than 2000 dollars worth of parts I lost my job, they haven't given me Not even a vehicle, what they want is for me to get another car when I still have to be there and I've been paying for it without being able to not damage my credit, I'm going to take this to the customer's complaint because it's too much of a hoax, don't be fooled from this dealer or do business with them.

  Business Response /* (1000, 7, 2023/01/02) */ We regret that Mr. ***** has had trouble with the truck he bought. The truck is a Dodge truck with 137,000 miles. He didn't purchase a warranty so therefore there is no coverage for the repairs that are needed for this higher milage truck. Don Davis has performed the repairs on this truck therefore they should stand behind the repairs that they did.

  On 12/28/2022 I went to pick up my truck after a transmission repair which cost thousands of dollars. I was informed the repairs have been completed and I could pick up my truck. As they drove out the back of my camper looked as it was broken into. The back of my bumper also had deep scares. I informed Manager *************************** that my truck had been vandalized in their care. ******* informed me that the lot is not responsible I would need to contact my insurance. I notice they keep my truck outside and there were 3 camera's in the back pointed at the cars. This is bad for the consumer to pay thousands of dollars and their car is not protected in their care.

  Grandson purchased car, 2011 Chevrolet Camaro, on 9/27/2022 from Graff Chevrolet. I co-signed for him. On 9/29/2022 the engine started knocking. Checked the car and it had no oil. Added 5 quarts. The next day 9/30 he called the dealership and was told to bring it in. The car wouldn't start & was towed to dealership. When he called back was told they could not check the car until 10/5. Called every day and each time was told by "Dean" sales manager that he was still waiting on diagnostics from the service department. On Saturday 10/8, we went to the dealership to check. Talked with Dean and was told the engine was blown but was still waiting a full diagnosis, from the service department. According to Dean, the manager of the service department would be in on Monday, 10/10. Went back to the dealership on Monday, talked to Dean and he referred us to the service department. Again stating the engine was blown. We went to the service department and was again told the engine was blown. Mileage on the purchase order showed 152268 went bought. On 10/10/2022 mileage per the service department was 152499. According to the service department there was no oil leaks, and the car did not have too much oil. The service person (female) said there was nothing she could do and we could talk to the manager of the service department, Malcolm S*****. But he had already left for the day but would be back on 10/11 at 7:30am. The estimate to repair the engine was $5270. We again talked to Dean and he referred us to his manager as well as Malcolm and both would be in on 10/11. We looked at the copy of the carfax which showed the oil had just been changed before being sold, but the mileage on the carfax showed 152535? On 10/11/2022 again went to the dealership, talked to Malcolm. When mentioned that we had been told my grandson had blown the engine he stated how having driven only 200 miles. After calling every day for past 2 weeks, now saying car is only worth $2500 (paid $10500).
