Dear ******************,
Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention. We take all feedback seriously and strive to address any issues within the scope of our original agreement.
Upon reviewing your complaint, we understand your frustration regarding the problem you described, however, it's important to clarify the terms of your purchase as stated originally. As explained, the motor home was sold to you in an "as-is" pre-owned condition, with no written or expressed warranties. This means that any repairs or maintenance needed after the sale are the responsibility of the buyer.
We also acknowledge that your sales advisor informed you explicitly that we do not inspect the chassis of the vehicle and recommended that you seek the expertise of an automotive mechanic if you felt so inclined. This recommendation is even more pertinent given the fact that the motor home in question was already 11 years old at the time of purchase. This recommendation and disclosure underscore our commitment to transparency and ensuring that customers are aware of the limitations of our services.
While we empathize with your situation, we must re-emphasize that our dealership does not provide, nor claim to provide chassis services such as alignment inspection or repairs. Our inspection and preparation processes focus on ensuring the functionality of the "House" part of the motor home and its components, as discussed prior to your transaction.
Regarding your assertion that the front-end issues occurred within a short distance after the purchase, it's essential to consider the various factors that *** contribute to mechanical failures, including driving conditions, rough terrain or damaged road surfaces, and general wear and tear.We do not guarantee the condition of the chassis, especially given the uncertainties associated with used vehicles. It would be logistically impossible (and devaluing to the inventory) if we were to drive every vehicle over 800 miles to determine its reliability.
Regarding the stated requirement for repairs, we strongly recommend seeking a second opinion on the damages prior to paying for the repairs you have described. It would be very unconventional for all the components of any vehicle system to all fail at once. Having a second opinion is always a good idea to prevent overpaying for repairs, or even worse paying for repairs that are not actually needed.
We regret any inconvenience or safety concerns you *** have experienced during your recent trip, and we are pleased that you and your family were kept safe.
We appreciate your willingness to resolve this matter amicably. Should you wish to explore options for repair or exchange, we encourage you to contact us directly to discuss possible solutions or recommendations on a certified chassis service center.
If you require any further assistance or documentation,please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
Sincerely,
Motor SportslandCustomer response
