Hello,We are aware of [redacted] issue with her steering wheel.  We have already replaced her steering wheel once, shortly after her vehicle was purchase.  Out of good faith, we changed the steering wheel based on the premise that it came from the manufacturer in the condition that...

was not acceptable to [redacted]  Recently, she brought her vehicle in for an oil change, and she noticed a small blemish on a decorative part of the steering wheel fcia and states that we, Hendrick Honda Woodbridge/Service Technician/or other employee who had access to her vehicle, while it was in for service, damaged the steering wheel.  Since we had already replaced the steering wheel once, there is no warrant for the steering wheel to be replaced, since the damage is a nick in the paint on an area that sees normal everyday wear/usage.  The steering wheel is not damaged to the point that it is inhibiting the operation of the vehicle. When [redacted] came to the dealership on May 5th, it was suggested that a "racing stripe" be applied to the steering wheel fcia to cover the imperfection and to have the application compliment the vehicle.I, [redacted], has spoken with [redacted], and advised her that I am looking into alternative solutions to solve this issue without having to replace the entire steering wheel. Thank you,Diane R[redacted]

Hello,
After researching this complaint. This is what has been discovered:
1- Customer came in for an oil and filter change and the multipoint inspection.
2- After multipoint inspection and fluid test were presented to the customer by necessity.
3- Customer still had repairs that are...

needed.
The customer states: "I scheduled a "manufacturer recommended maintenance" for my 2005 [redacted] with 132,000 miles. When asked to clarify, I said I want to make sure all services suggested in my manual for 130,000 miles get performed." The repair, service and maintenance that was performed on the customer's vehicle based on the service maintenance history at our service department. The customer has very little service history at our service center. The service and maintenance was based as requested, according to the age of the vehicle and miles and as recommended by the Owners' Manual.
We did as the customer had requested of our service center. As per her request "I said I want to make sure all services suggested in my manual for 130,000 miles get performed."
Her request for a $227.00 refund is denied.
However, as a Good Faith/Good Will gesture, we will issue the amount requested, $227.00, as an in-store coupon toward any future service or maintenance done in our service center.
Thank you,
[redacted]

when the vehicles are delivered to the dealership, the only work that we do to the vehicle is to install any dealer installed accessories, any cleaning or detailing the vehicle requires and to fill the tank with gas.  The vehicle does go through an inspection that insures that no damage was done to the vehicle during transport from factory to dealership.  There is absolutely no need to change the oil on a brand new vehicle, thus the oil tray and/or plug would not have been touched.  If there is an issue or any damage as a result of a manufacturing error, we advise Mr. [redacted] to come in and have us evaluate it and get our Honda Rep involved. If Mr. [redacted] is willing to bring in his vehicle, please have him contact our Service Director, Sam M[redacted] at ###-###-####. I am sorry that this happened to Mr. [redacted]. Thank you, Diane R

I am rejecting this response because the car that I purchased from this dealership is brand new and that type of lack of attention to details should have not occurred regardless whose fault that was.  Secondly, the sales manager at this Hendrick Honda kept pressuring me to buy extended warranties because there is no maintenance service such as oil change and others, [redacted]ing to him.  I would have taken my car to Hendrick Honda for oil changed if it had at least 30,000 miles service maintenance as their competitors do.  I would have not purchased the car from Hendrick Honda have I known there is no service maintenance such as oil changes and others.   Thank you

Hello Mr. [redacted],Here at Hendrick Honda [redacted], we understand your complaint and your frustration.  However, you made no attempt to bring your vehicle back to the dealership when you first started having issues.  These issues would have been corrected and you would still have your...

vehicle.  Since you went elsewhere to have your vehicle diagnosed and worked on, we have no way of knowing what the issues were and what was done to the vehicle before you decided to replace your vehicle.  We are in no obligation to refund your $8,000 due to the fact that you did not contact us to correct the issues and we certainly did not have any control over the purchase or choice of the replacement vehicle.  Dealership decision:  Complaint has no basis for a refund as the customer's decision was to choose not bring the vehicle back to the dealership where the vehicle was purchased for diagnosis and repair.  Customer lives 5.4 miles from the dealership. Thank you,Diane R[redacted]

Hello,American Honda was contacted on May 12th,2016.  All other advertisers were also contacted on the same date.  Since Ms. [redacted] has continued to state that she is still receiving mailings on behalf of Hendrick Honda Woodbridge and providing insufficient information as to who is sending her mail on our behalf, I am unable to contact the source of the distribution.  By Ms. [redacted]'s lack of supporting information, we have done whatever is possible on the dealership level.  If Ms. [redacted] would be more forth coming to support her claim and information, then I can help her in satisfying her request. Thank you,Diane N[redacted]

Thursday so that I can have my guys detail it?Sam M[redacted] | Service Director
