    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    My family and I have been buying cars from Strong VW for over 20 years. I have brought in others because I thought so highly of Strong. I got my VW Jetta S end of 2020, brand new. A couple months after, I started having issues with my air conditioning. It was blowing hot air instead of cold. I waited until May of 2021 and took my car in on May 31, 2021. They said my AC looked fine. I have brought my car in to the dealership twice a year where they recharged my AC but didn't fix the problem. March of this year, I brought it in again due to the AC and they found a leak and repaired said leak. I have had to argue with the front desk because of these issues and them trying to charge me for said issues. They have belittled me and treated me terribly every time I have been in. Incredibly disappointing. I have paid for the warranty and due to the faulty air conditioning system, the financial burden has been put on to me. I have spent countless days at the dealership over this ordeal. I bought a brand new car so I wouldn't have issues like these. My warranty should cover my AC and I have proof that it does, yet I come in and have to explain to customer service why I should not have to pay for a mess up that volkswagen created. I either want an entirely new AC system or I want an exchange for a new car. This is not okay.

    After purchasing our vehicle, we were told that in order to be part of the *** program that we needed to leave a review. After leaving the review, the salesman (******) noticed that I had not left a five star review and said that in order to be a part of the *** program I had to leave a five star review. Seems like an unethical way of getting reviews.After buying the car, we noticed blemishes that were not seen at the time of purchase because the salesman backed the car into a really tight stall, which prevented us from being able to see the vehicle from all angles. I do not feel like things were disclosed to us about status of the vehicle. Very disappointed and feel like we had the wool pulled over our eyes. Also, if you are purchasing a used vehicle here, you will feel like you are at a used car dealership. The building is terrible and nothing about it feels like an elite service.
