Jacobs Mitsubishi Reviews (%countItem)

Even though I was looking for a particular car, which AE had, I was pleasantly surprised of the selection on site. The buying experience went well and working with Ron was a no pressure sale.
I would purchase again from AE.

Ron C was amazing! He did everything he could to get us in a vehicle. It wasn't the one we wanted, but he got us in a Jeep that would establish our credit so we could come back and get the Jeep we really wanted!!

I have been car shopping for some time now. I almost gave up on finding a reliable used car and was about to buy a new one down the street when I gave it another shot. Ron was very informative he walked me through the entire process as he calls it and help me get a low payment that I can afford on a reliable vehicle. I would highly recommend going back to see Ron he's an honest kind of guy thanks buddy

I told Mr. Ray I was unhappy and that I wanted my money back because it took them 2 months to fix the problem and that there was no deal because the bank denied the loan. Mr. Ray S. said that the dealership can take the loan back and I said how is that if it wasn't approved by the bank. I told Ray S. there is no verbal contract he then told me that they have lawyers so basically telling me I don't have a choice but to take the 2006 BMW 750Li back because I was not going to get my money back. Ray S. then told me that they had put a lot of money into the car I told him what are talking about Ray told me that they fixed the oil leak and fixed many other things and I told Ray I wanted proof of everything they fixed which he gave me papers to prove. Remember I said it only went in for an oil leak then it took them 2 months. All this was done without my knowledge or my approval and this is how I feel that they sold me a lemon and tried to cover their tracks. To tell all of you the truth as a U.S Army Veteran I feel as if Ray S. and the dealership lied to me and threatened me with lawyers to keep the money and get the car out of the dealership and that's not the end of the situation but I also have noticed they changed out the front windshield of the BMW and they didn't even have the decency of telling me. The windshield they put on is not the original BMW one because you can see the wires that come from the rear view mirror plus it doesn't say BMW on it. I told that to the salesman Jamar J. which he took pictures of it and even showed him there was broken glass in the car then I showed him the BMW front emblem which was gone. Purchased a car in July and got it back in October only to find more problems. As a U.S Army Veteran and now a civilian I would not recommend this dealership to my fellow Veterans or anyone because this is how I was treated I still feel I should get my money back this is posted on google my next one will be the (Revdex.com) Revdex.com and the Attorney General Office. When I took in the car for them to fix the oil leak I only had it for 2 weeks and it was suppose to be an 11 hour job to be forced back in the car after 2 months. It's about money for Auto Enterprise not their customers needs or wants. Very sad to have dealerships bullying you so they can have a sale. (Updated) This dealership is so dirty and I know it's at the direction of Ray S. super bad General Manager. The problem is that they post false information on your credit report saying you owe the full amount of what was owed so if you bought a vehicle for a price and I'm saying what happened to me and returned the vehicle back to them when you only had it for 2 weeks because the car was a lemon didn't work. How in the world is the customer liable for full price of the the vehicle when it was returned and sold at an auction for a price how come there isn't a federal investigation into crooked dealerships who steal money of hard working people like they did to me in the amount of $2,500.00 and tried to force me into their lemon and now falsifying information to the credit bureaus to destroy your credit again is this the way you treat your Army Veterans or your customers after they worked so hard to save up for a car wow I wish the owner of the dealership would respond and explain why he would allow this to continue to happen because I'm pretty sure they are more victims of this scheme out there. Stop falsifying and lying to the credit bureaus and return the money you stole if you truly value your customers.

Ron C. was an amazing businessman. He was honest and very knowledgeable. I was very satisfied with the vehicle he sold us. My girlfriend feels very safe and comfortable in the vehicle. They had a great selection of vehicles and I look forward to doing business with Ron in the future.

I bought a 2014 Chevrolet Volt from them in October. The vehicle had a limited dealer warranty included. The vehicle was shipped to me here in Chicago and delivered missing several items, including no charger unit, no floor mats, and most critically, only one key. The major problem is the one key they provided was not original -- the problem with it is that the electronic part of the key fob works, but the metal "key" part of the fob is blank. It was never cut. So while the battery operated remote fob works, the backup, metal key part is blank and cant manually open the doors or trunk in case the battery ever dies. The Chevrolet dealer wants $250 per key to fix this and cut and "program" each key. There should have been two, proper keys provided with the car but all they gave me was one, partially defective one. They either didnt check, or didnt care.
Plus no floor mats which came with the car were provided. This all was never stated in the sales document or online advertisement. All my attempts to resolve this with the dealer staff have been unsuccessful and they won't return my calls. It's been terrible customer service.
Product_Or_Service: Chevrolet

Desired Outcome

Other (requires explanation) I just want two, proper keys either from a dealer or a locksmith and floor mats. They can either send them or pay a local dealer or locksmith, etc. here to handle it. Or reimburse me for the cost.

Jacobs Mitsubishi Response • Dec 20, 2018

Thank you for the opportunity to respond to our customers concerns. After a thorough review of our customer's sale file, there is a document signed by the customer that confirms nothing additional promised or owed after the sale. As a gesture of goodwill, we have already sent a charger for the vehicle, and will provide reimbursement to cut the one blank key the customer already has, no programing necessary as the electronic key remote is currently working. The customer will need to send us a copy of the invoice to cut the key blank so we can reimburse the correct amount. Also, an additional $40.00 will be added for the customer to purchase floor mats of his choice. Our apologies for any misunderstanding or confusion that occurred during the sales process and glad that we could assist our customer in his request.

Dealership sold unsafe car and refused to warranty work
I purchased a car from Auto Enterprise on 10/5/18. On leaving the the dealership the car rode very rough and unsteady. On inspection the next day the car had a bulge in the front tire, two bent rims, and the brake rotors were warped. I contacted the dealer and questioned how the car could have been serviced ($800 dealer fee) and they things were overlooked. I then moved forward with the repairs which came to close to $1500. I then submitted the receipts to Auto Enterprise asking them only to pay 50% as they stated in the warranty. At that time they refused and only offered to pay $300 of the costs.

Desired Outcome

Auto Enterprise admitted the car was not serviced properly and I believe they should cover 50% of the repair work as stated in the warranty.

At this time management is currently working on a resolution to Mr. satisfaction.

(The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.)
Both parties agreed upon a fair solution to the issue.

Will not title my vehicle in my home state as told.
Bought a vehicle here in January, I am a Georgia resident and they were supposed to register my vehicle in Georgia since I was just in Florida temporarily but they registered my vehicle in Florida anyways. After months of trying to get them to register my vehicle in Georgia, like they said they were going to do, still nothing. They DO NOT return phone calls or even answer 90% of the time and if they do, they say they will call me back once they get more info. Now they are trying to charge me $1300, four months later, to get my registration in Georgia. I am letting my lawyer handle the situation now. DO NOT BUY HERE!!!

Desired Outcome

I just want my vehicle registered in Georgia, I have text from them saying they were doing it and now they want to charge me $1300. My license, home of address and insurance is all in Georgia.

Jacobs Mitsubishi Response • Apr 30, 2018

To Whom It May Concern,

In regards to customers complaint about the vehicle being registered in Florida and not in Georgia.

At time of sale the customer provided all personal information to our staff with a FL address which included driver's license and insurance card, the vehicle was then registered within the time frame allowed by law in FL.

It was not until we called the customer to inform his license plate was ready to be mailed that we were made aware he wanted to register in GA, at this time we informed this customer we did not have any paperwork with GA address or supporting documentation to have it registered out of state and at this point we could no longer could change anything pertaining to the sale considering we had already registered the vehicle in FL, paid sales taxes collected to FL and recorded a lien with his financial institution.
The customer did not at any point during the sale expressed his desire to registered the vehicle elsewhere other than his home state, if we had supporting docs to register the vehicle in GA we would gladly have done the application accordingly.
We hope the customer accepts our sincere apologies and if there is anything else we can do or help in any form please do not hesitate to call us.

I submitted a GEORGIA drivers license and Georgia insurance. I was told to put my local address for paperwork and so that y'all could mail me future docurments. I am a Georgia resident and have never had a Florida license or insurance. Have text from Ray N. stating the tag was being done in Georgia. I never once requested it be done in Florida as I am a GEORGIA resident. You made copy of my license, go look at it.

Jacobs Mitsubishi Response • Jun 15, 2018

We did exactly what was instructed to us by the customer at the time of sale. Unfortunately he let us know he wanted to change the state it was registered after everything was processed and finalized. We would not of been able to process the tag work without the information provided from the customer. We do not like to leave an unsatisfied customer. Our title department is currently working with the state of Georgia to see if we can get this switched over without incurring extra cost to the customer. We should have an answer back in the next week and we will update you and the customer on the situation.

Thank you,

The dealership, Auto Enterprise did not do what was instructed at the time of purchase as I am a Georgia resident and only in Florida temporaryly and needed my vehicle registered in Georgia. I also provided a Georgia Drivers licenses and insurance as stated previously. I was contacted the June 15 and was told they were doing the paperwork to get the tag transferred to Georgia but I have waited until today (the date my response was due on) to give them a chance to get back to me and I have not been contacted again. Hopefully it is being done in Georgia as my insurance company has been on my back about it being done. I shouldn't have to pay more when I never wanted it registered in Florida in the first place and was told numerous times it was being done in Georgia.

Ok Florida where do I began.I do not take pride on writing bad reviews on companies but the truth needs to be told.the people that works at this car dealership is to me a modern day version of doctor jeckyell and mr Hyde...they can talk you out of the underwear you on and sell them back to you....the guys do not care about you....they only care about your money ....my name is *** I got suckered and mislead into buying a lemon now they can be very likable and the cars are clean and detailed but...BUT once you sign that agreement your screwed...trust me I'm not bashing them but there wrong how they treat you after they take your money from you.....Ray N. I really like you but that was wrong how you guys did me on that 2014 fiesta but it's cool the law suit is all most over and I'm not going to trade the car in ...I'm just going to junk it ....you guys know what you did and I hate that the only time this is going to get read is when you sell someone else a lemon.

I'm very happy with the experience I had at Auto Enterprise, they treated me with respect and did everything they promised to do it after the delivery of my car.

A false charge of $895.00 for a product called PermaPlate, which I did not purchase, was added to the contract of the purchased vehicle.
On 11-4-17 I purchased a 2007 Acura RDX from this company.
On 11-5-17 I noticed a false charge on the contract for $895.00 for a product called PermaPlate, which I did not purchase, nor was it discussed with me by ANY of the employees of this company nor was I given any warranty info, paperwork or any other corroborating evidence to the purchase of this product. I returned that day to Auto Enterprise and spoke with the Sales Manager Ray N., who reviewed the folder and agreed it shouldn't be a problem to recieve a credit. He asked me to see the Finance Manager, Dan R. who was off this day.
I returned on 11-6-17 and spoke with Mr. R. who took the information and said it will be credited to the credit union directly. I asked for something in writing from him and received his hand written note to cancel the PermaPlate for $895 on a copy of my contract. I asked him when this credit will be applied and he said it will take a couple of weeks.
On 11-8-17, I emailed Mr. R. for a confirmation number for this cancellation and received no reply.
On 11-18-17, I called the credit union to see if the credit had been applied, it had not. I emailed Mr. R. on 11-18-17 informing him that the credit was not applied. He followed up with me on 11-20-17 with this email reply:

Hello ***,
I have instructed our accounting department to cancel your PermaPlate.
It will take a few weeks for the credit to be applied to your account through Suncoast.
Many Thanks,
Dan

I called Dan the first week of December, after not receiving the credit to my account. He indicated I will receieve it by the time my first payment is due, 12-19-17, which was another week and half.

I gave this company the benefit of the doubt and waited Until 1-9-18 to follow up with the credit union to check on the status of this credit, which still has not been applied.

1-9-18, I sent an email to Dan R., who has not responded.

1-16-18, I called Daniel J., President and left a voicemail with my phone number and a brief description of the situation and asked him to step in to resolve this credit. I have not heard from him either.

This company added this false procuct to my contract, which I caught, they agreed to return the money to me and have not.

I define this as fraudulent business practices.

Desired Outcome

I am seeking a cash refund of $895.00.

Jacobs Mitsubishi Response • Feb 13, 2018

To whom it may concern,
In regards to this customers complaint being charged for a product called PermaPlate. This product was placed on car upon inception. Not only did we place a addendum in the windshield of the car explaining that this car came with this protection package.It was also stated in the contract that was given to the customer to read and sign. We were unaware they customer did not see this in the contract or on the windshield. When the customer returned asking what the charge was for and what the product is we explained to them again what it was. At this point the customer was not happy they did not see this was added to the car and the contract before they signed. The manager Dan understood there complaint and frustration with this. He told the customer our number one goal is 100% customer satisfaction and agreed we would refund the price of the product toward the principle of the loan because the customer did not pay out of pocket for the product. He then informed the accounting office to make the adjustments to the loan. For some reason it took longer than it should have and because of that The General Manger Ray stepped in to make sure it was taken care of and the refund was in place. He has also spoken to the manager that was on duty at the time of sale and placed him in a training course to make sure he and his team always properly demonstrate the product to every customer so this does not happen again to any other customer. We are truly sorry this customer was not happy and that the product was not properly explained. He then made sure there money was refunded fully and we have also promised the customer a free full detail and wax when ever they have time to come in. So at this point all charges for this product were reversed and the customer also has the permaplate protection on there vehicle for free.
Sincerely,

Brought purchased vehicle to a repair shop for problems. Told vehicle has no CAT converter which per FL Statutes 316.2935 should have been disclosed
Have had multiple problems with vehicle, came with no warranty. But not disclosing the CAT converter being removed is against FL law.

Desired Outcome

This vehicle is not a legal vehicle to be sold again. I am out all the money we paid. I want a refund. Too many issues with this truck.

Jacobs Mitsubishi Response • Feb 05, 2018

To whom it may concern,
The referenced vehicle that was purchased on 11/06/2017 was a Ford F250 with 143,943 Miles that was traded into our dealership and is not one of our certified vehicles. Our certified vehicles go thru thorough inspections and become frontline ready. Any vehicle we sell AS IS we highly recommend that anyone gets their own inspection to verify any repairs that the vehicle might need. We offer some cars AS IS if they are too old or have to many miles on the car. Mrs. Denman spoke with Ray before and at the time of sale and was made fully aware of what an AS IS vehicle is. We do not make any claims or warranties on AS IS vehicles. As per the statue that regulates air pollution devices we did not tamper or remove anything from this vehicle. The way it was traded to us is the way it was sold to the customer. As you can see at the end of the paragraph All motor vehicles sold, reassigned, or traded to a licensed motor vehicle dealer are exempt. Therefore this issue is not at all our fault and we are not responsible for the catalytic not being on the car as we did not remove or tamper with it. We had no knowledge of this because as stated this truck was not serviced at our dealership. It was at traded in and not bought at auction or from other dealer.
We are sorry the customer feels this way but in no way did we do anything illegal or wrong with this sale. We explained what an AS IS vehicle is and she was completely aware and ok with it at the time of purchase. If she is looking to trade in the vehicle please let us know and we will do our best to assist her. If you would like any documentation of the sale please let me know and I will Have it forwarded over from our accounting department. I have attached the Statue below.

316.2935Air pollution control equipment; tampering prohibited; penalty.--

(1)(a)It is unlawful for any person or motor vehicle dealer as defined in s. 320.27 to offer or display for retail sale or lease, sell, lease, or transfer title to, a motor vehicle in Florida that has been tampered with in violation of this section, as determined pursuant to subsection (7). Tampering is defined as the dismantling, removal, or rendering ineffective of any air pollution control device or system which has been installed on a motor vehicle by the vehicle manufacturer except to replace such device or system with a device or system equivalent in design and function to the part that was originally installed on the motor vehicle. All motor vehicles sold, reassigned, or traded to a licensed motor vehicle dealer are exempt from this paragraph.

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
The statement from this company shows they do no look over the vehicles they take in from trade. Regardless of if a vehicle is sold 'as is,' there are safety and inspection checks that must be completed and explained to the potential buyer. The seller only expressed positive sentiments about the vehicle and gave no negative feedback. The finance person, Ron, and the mechanic both came to me on the evening of the sale and reiterated how great of a vehicle this was. How can you ethically sell a vehicle like this when you either know it wasn't properly inspected or chose to hide the major problems? I did take the vehicle to a Ford dealer to have it checked out after the sale and that is when I discovered the issue and began this process. See language below, specifically section 1(a), 1(b), 5(a), 5(b), that I feel the company has violated and need to be addressed accordingly I strongly believe that I was done wrong by this company and they need to be punished and penalized severely.

I finally decided to buy a BMW 528i from salesman Andrew and OMG, Bo who keeps telling me that this vehicle passed their inspection and was in excellent shape, Bottom line is this car after I had diagnostics done by two BMW Repair shops which cost me total $200, the Car had a $3,000 issue that needed immediate attention right away, I was lucky it was covered by BMW's warranty, I originally had multiple misfires from the Coils, Bad Battery and Front Rotors, I had to beg and pled for them to cover the Rotors and Coils but I had to buy the Spark plugs, and Brakes. Trying to reach Bo at certain times was really fustrating at times because he wouldnt answer my calls or voicemails for a call back or text messages about ongoing stacking issues with this car after the sale. I had to pay for the Labor and Bo certainly didnt want to hear about these issues and wasnt going to cover the battery or any other additional issues that was going on with this car before I bought it. My car sat in my driveway for 2 weeks after I bought the vehicle.

In regards to this complaint I wanted to reach out again and let you know. The reason we would not finance the 2007 Escalade to you is due to the fact it had way too may miles on it to finance. Banks will not finance vehicles with 170k miles.It had nothing to do with us. It is the banks decision. Second, with the BMW you purchased. You were here at the dealership multiple times to view and test drive the car before you purchased. Both times you were here and drove the car there was only one issue you had with it and that was one of the tires. We put a new tire on the car for you with no charge to you. We also gave you the opportunity to add a warranty to the car that can be paid in cash or added into the financing, that can cover basic power train or bumper to bumper depending on what the customer chooses. We offered this to you due to the fact is was a bmw with over 1ook miles,in case anything were to happen considering you did not live close. Again you declined.None of these issues came up until the car was driven to the other cost. There were no issues with this car at all until then. In regards to the money you are claiming you had to spend ($4,310.00) 3000 of that was covered under the BMW warranty.Also we covered the price of the rotors,tires,and coils for you hoping it would help you out. Also any time you take a car to a service department of the maker it is there job to up sell you everything. If the brakes are 25% worn they up sell you saying they need to be replaced. This goes for all parts because it is there job. If any of these parts were unsafe when the vehicle arrived here at Auto Enterprise we would have replaced them before the car was put out for sale. We do not under any circumstances sell anything unsafe. We are very sorry you had any issues. I have reached out to you multiple times to see where we fell short but have not been able to get a hold of you. Please give me a call. Thank you

I only test drove the car with Andrew to put GAS in it so I do realize they are going to down play it anyway they can because I brought it to your Revdex.com attention.I was driving the Car on the Highway when the check engine light came on and the Idrive warning indicator then came on I tried to reach Bo but of course no answer after the sale and so I texted him to ask him why am I having issues, multiple times I called and got no response or reply back from him and when I did reach him he gave me his usual speech, It passed the inspection, by the way I had to beg Bo to correct the issue and yes eventually I received 2 Rotors and 4 coils because the car wouldnt fire correctly with the car but I had to pay for two different BMW repair shops Diagnostics Reports which one had a immediate 3,000 repair issue that was likely covered by the BMW warranty, I had to pay Labor charges, Spark Plugs and brakes but Auto Enterprise claims that this vehicle passed inspection with all these issues, I think NOT. I Have the repair paperwork if needed and the Text messages and abundant phone calls I made to them.

This dealer fails to correctly fix issues with a vehicle purchased from them in July that have been ongoing since the time of purchase.
I had purchased a 2006 Jeep Wrangler from Auto Enterprise (salesman Mike Quealy) in late July of 2017. Since the purchase of the vehicle there has been countless mechanical issues with the Jeep. The issues began with oil leaks that were initially noticed prior to purchasing the vehicle. The oil leaks were to be fixed, as promised by the salesman, prior to me purchasing the vehicle. It took the dealership approximately two months to resolve the oil leak issues. In the process of fixing one leak, a technician took shortcuts during the repair, cutting the fan guard instead of properly removing it. In addition, the technician failed to replace the coolant overflow container prior to finishing the work on the Jeep. It was not until I got the Jeep home that I noticed these issues. The oil leaks and the technician damaged components were eventually taken care of by the dealer. In addition to the oil leaks the Jeep also had a rough idle, a bad vibration at 50 MPH, and had a hard shift from first to second since the time of purchase. These were all issues that were "put off" by the dealer each time they were brought up to service. Several weeks after the last oil leak was addressed the Jeep began to have issues in terms of a multiple cylinder misfire. During these episodes, I could not get the Jeep over 20 MPH. The first time the vehicle was brought into the dealer for this, I was told it was the crankshaft positioning sensor causing the issues. This part was replaced, however about a week later I had the same mechanical issue. This time the problem was more significant. I managed to drive the Jeep back to the dealer, as they refused to tow it, and they diagnosed the same crankshaft positioning sensor. They called it a faulty sensor, replaced it again, and then less than 24 hours later I was broken down again on the side of the road. This time the issues were even more severe. The Jeep lost all power and overheated on the side of the road (engine temp gauge was in the red). The issue was ultimately diagnosed to be the Jeep's computer. I have now been waiting over a month on a vehicle that I am paying full price for to get a computer in. The dealer refuses to address other potential problems that may have arose while the Jeep was having these episodes (such as overheating), and they continue to lie and manipulate in order for them to get away with doing the least amount of work. During the time period that the Jeep was in the shop, other issues were brought up that also needed to be addressed. One issue was pertaining to the vibration at 50 MPH, which on the initial inventory report, was attributed to bad drive shaft U joints that were replaced by Auto Enterprise. The U joints were placed in the drive shafts incorrectly, which inhibited them from being greased, leading to the severe vibration. I ended up replacing the U joints (at a cost of $325) which took care of the problem (this was before I received the inventory report). This money was requested to be refunded due to their garage installing the parts incorrectly. In addition to the U joints, there is also a popping sound coming from the rear of the vehicle that was also mentioned in the initial inventory. This sound was also requested to be addressed by the dealer. Finally, the hard shift issue was found to be caused by a faulty shift linkage bushing. This part was supposed to be replaced by the service department before the Jeep was returned to me. The dealer is giving us issues addressing all of these known problems. In addition, it is incredibly difficult dealing with management at this business. The general manager is highly unprofessional and lacks communication skills. At one point I had published one star reviews online, and was then threatened by this manager (Ray S.) that unless they were removed no work was to be completed on the Jeep. We are now requesting help from the Revdex.com.

Desired Outcome

We discussed three potential options with the customer service manager Ryan Thompson: 1. Have Auto Enterprise buy the Jeep back taking into account depreciation to a certain extent, and then taking my money elsewhere. 2. Have Auto Enterprise buy the Jeep back taking into account depreciation to a certain extent, and then have them find me an alternative vehicle (which is an idea I was not too fond of). 3. Fix the Jeep right (including an external inspection by Jeep, the shift linkage bushing, and the popping noise) and discuss options for an extended warranty. It is now seeming that these solutions are off of the table as the general manager, Ray Sousa refuses to call us back about them, or address them with Ryan as well. We are seeking: 1. Complete repair of the Jeep at a Jeep dealer including shift linkage bushing 2. Complete external inspection of the Jeep at a Jeep dealer 3. Extended warranty on the Jeep 4. Refund of the $325 paid to replace faulty U joints installed by Auto Enterprise 5. A conversation with Mr. Dan J. (owner), which was promised by the sales manager Ray N. and never occurred .

Jacobs Mitsubishi Response

Again, we sincerely apologize that you has issues with the Jeep that you bought from our dealership.
We do realize it can be frustrating to have issues with a vehicle and repairs can get very expensive to fix, at the time of purchase we presented different extended warranty packages for your vehicle which were all declined by you. We have a variety of warranties that range from basic power train to bumper to bumper that can last up to the life of the vehicle, considering the vehicle in question is an older vehicle with close 100k in miles you never know when and if issues will occur. We try at the beginning to eliminate customers having to come out of pocket if or when something does happen.
The vehicle purchased by Mr. was sold AS IS with no warranty but we still felt inclined to help our customer by attempting the repair the vehicle. We feel we have done everything in our power to help ease the situation. One of our dealership employee drove Mr. ***'s son to school so he wouldn't miss class due to the vehicle being in our repair facility, we also offered a vehicle from our dealership to Mr. as a loaner while his Jeep was being fixed. That is something that most dealerships wouldn't have done for a customer that bought an AS IS vehicle.
We did not ask for money to recuperate the cost we lost on the vehicle we supplied for use at any point even though hundreds of miles were put on our vehicle.

We agree that getting the vehicle repaired took longer than it should have but that is to the fact that we had parts ordered from Jeep that were on back order, it is unfortunate, but parts on national back-order are out of our control. We do understand you feel like you were inconvenienced but in no way you were, we supplied and paid for everything with this vehicle. Originally Mr. did have to pay for repairs out of pocket due to the fact that 5,000 miles were put on the vehicle before the list of complaints started, Auto Enterprise has issued Mr. a refund for ALL expenses paid out of pocket here at our dealership.

Once the Jeep was fully inspected by Jim Brown Jeep Chrysler & Dodge we were told by their service techs who specialize on this vehicle that the computer on the vehicle was NOT faulty and they could not foresee any issues happened to the vehicle related to the computer. After all coils, plugs, and everything else was fixed three employees from our dealership including our GM and two service techs drove the vehicle and put over 500 miles on it without a single issue. Mr. *** was not mislead in any way, Auto Enterprise has fixed everything on the vehicle and then some. It's our understanding that you also have already traded the vehicle in question, the reason you traded the Jeep is not because it was not fixed it is because Jim Brown Chrysler & Dodge did their job and up sold you a new one.
We feel at this time we have gone above and beyond to make the process smooth for you while getting your vehicle repaired. We are very sorry you feel that you were miss-treated or sold a faulty vehicle but we can assure you that any other dealership would've not gone the extent we have gone to help a customer on a used vehicle with over 100,000 AS-IS the way we did.

Customer Response

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
There are several inconsistencies and incorrect statements made in the last response by Auto Enterprise, which further compounds the lies told to us by this dealership. First of the all, the vehicle was not sold as is, it was covered under a 30 day dealer warranty, which is the reason why many of the repairs were covered by them, and why they were paying for the computer that was expected to arrive in early December. The statement that the vehicle was sold as is, is incorrect. Initial complaints associated with the computer also began far before 5,000 miles were put on the vehicle. I was complaining about a rough/erratic idle since the work on the oil seals began in early August. I was told by several members of the service department that there was nothing they could do about it until a check engine light came on (which at the time was understandable). I was ensured that even if this light came on after the warranty expired, that the work would still be covered by Auto Enterprise, due to my prolonged complaints about how the Jeep was running. In addition, the statement that the vehicle was sold with over 100,000 miles is also incorrect. The vehicle was sold to me with around 97,000 miles on it. I understand that this is close to the 100,000 mile mark, but simply stating that the vehicle has over 100,000 miles can mean a lot of different things to different people. Finally, Jim Browne Jeep Chrysler Dodge could not guarantee that the computer was not at fault for the trouble with the Jeep. I was told by their service manager that replacing the coil packs and plugs may have simply put a band-Aid over the problem, and the only way to definitively rule out the computer would be to drive the vehicle. It was also recommended to me to "get out of this vehicle if I could", however no further explanation was given regarding that statement. In addition, I was also told by Jim Browne that they would trust the work of Ferman Dodge Chrysler Jeep, who previously diagnosed the problem as a computer (as did the head mechanic at Auto Enterprise). Recall that this computer (which was on back order, and thus was the primary reason for the length of time required to repair the vehicle) was canceled by Ray S. just days before its expected delivery date. We were then consistently lied to about this unit, and were told that it was still on order. A warranty was offered as a solution by the customer service manager, Ryan T. prior to us trading in the vehicle. This idea, however was abandoned by Ray S. He did offer a 30 day warranty on the computer only, however there was no specification on what exactly that meant. Therefore, if the check engine light came on for various sensors (potentially caused by the computer such as during the initial complaint) Auto Enterprise would not be responsible for the repairs. The 2006 Jeep was traded in due to our lack of trust in the vehicle and in Auto Enterprise, which is why we are requesting a refund of money lost and paid for on the 2006 Jeep Wrangler. I am uploading proof of the warranty for this vehicle and proof of mileage for this vehicle.

We were in contact with dealership to buy vehicle. The salesperson told us they still had it. Drove TWO HOURS to see it and they had already sold it.
We found a vehicle we wanted to purchase on the website *** We were in constant contact with the salesperson, Elizabeth. In addition, she called us on September 30, 2017, using FaceTime so we could look at the vehicle before coming to test drive it. She persuaded us to visit the dealership as we would be better able to negotiate a price. On October 1, 2017, we told her that we would come see the vehicle as we wanted to purchase it. After driving TWO HOURS on that Sunday to see the vehicle the manager, Beau, told us it had sold on eBay. Completely un-professional!!!!!

Desired Outcome

We want to know why a business would continue to pursue selling a vehicle on eBay even after establishing a potential in-person sale. Also, we would like an explanation as to why Elizabeth, the salesperson, or Beau, the manager did not reach out to us before promising that we could see the vehicle to let us know it had sold. We wasted over FOUR hours, gas, and time away from our family to see the vehicle, so a sincere apology from the owner of the dealership is requested.

We are a high volume store cars are sold first come first services.Our manger contacted the consumer to apology and we offered to send the consumer a gas card to address the issues of driving always out here. Per our call with the consumer they had agreed to this offer to resolve.

We were referred to your office by the attorney general's office. We purchased a used truck from Auto Enterprise, New Port Richey, FL, on 8/21/17. The truck broke down on 8/25/17, it was towed to the dealership per their request on 8/26. Their mechanics looked at it on tues 8/29 and informed us that it needed a new engine. It has been on the road 3 days after purchase. It was not listed as "as is" on cargurus.com, after I gave them the cash and I signed paperwork I was given an "as is" printout with the carfax, we were on our way to bring paperwork for my husband to sign.
Do we have any options or recourse at this point? The attorney general's office also forwarded our correspondence to the FLHSMV, who I will follow up with. I've also contacted a small claims lawyer referred by FL bar association.
My phone number is XXX-XXX-XXXX if you need to contact me, or you may respond to this email.

We contacted with the consumer as the vehicle they bought was sold AS IS. However, we worked and help put the consumer in a new vehicle, which the consumer was full satisfied with.

Customer Response

Auto Enterprise did respond to us directly. They gave us a full credit towards a newer truck with a 2y warranty. Thank you for your help and follow up.

Dealership financed my vehicle adding in my down deposit instead of subtracting it. They are charging me over 40% interest.
I brought a $7500.00 vehicle. I put $3000.00 down. They financed me as a buy here pay here with the agreed upon 24.99%. When I actually looked at it I noticed they put down over $13000.00 as the loan to be financed. They should have subtracted the $3000.00 from the $7500 added in dealer fees, taxes and tags, but instead added in a finance amount of over $3000. Then added in my down deposit of $3000.00 instead of subtracting it for a financing amount of over $10000. I have gone many many times to dealership. I am told they cant talk to me or cant help me. They cant explain my financing either yet I have to pay them every month. So I traded in the car at a reprutable dealership. They paid the amount on the car yet today I checked my bank info and see that a and e has taken an unapproved payment out of my bank account. They sent me an email and told me payment was taken over the phone. How is that when I dont own the car and it was paid off? Now my bank account is in a negative because they took my money without my approval and I never made a payment over the phone. This company is so unethical stealing money. They need to be shut down. I want my money back. It wasnt theirs to take.

Desired Outcome

I would like my money back on the financing. I want my money back on my gap insurance since I have paid for it and only had the car for 6 months. Gap insurance should be prorated. I want my money back for the payment they made without my aporoval for a car I no longer own.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am the accounts receivable clerk for our in-house financing company at the dealership where the consumer purchased a vehicle. I believe this consumer filed this complaint before she came to our office at which time was able to explain
everything to her.

This consumer traded in the vehcle she purchased from us on a Saturday when our a accounting offices are closed and I was not in that following Monday (copy of Buyer's Order attached). I was able to clear everything up for her on Wednesday,
May 10, 2017 when she came to the office.

I refunded the payment which was taken out on the 9th once she told me she had traded the vehicle on May 7, 2017 (copy of transaction attached). The consumers payment was set up as an auto draft and of course this could have been a mistake. We promptly resolved the issue and refunded her money. On May 12, 2017 the consumer actually came back in and made that payment again as per the dealership where she traded in the vehicle as part of her purchase of a new vehicle
(copy of transaction attached).

There was also some confusion as to the amount financed. The consumer thought the Total Sale Price of 13776.78 which is on the contract was the amount financed. I explained to her that the amount financed was the $7,064.31 indicated on
the contract in the box titled Amount Financed and taken from the bill of sale. This total is arrived at by totaling the p'ice of the vehicle and the Gap Insurance, then deducting the deposit. Then the dealer's fees, taxes. doc stamps and tags)title
fees are added. I also explained the box titled Finance Charge of $3712.47 is the finance charges for the length of the loan
(42 months) and once you add the Amount Financed ard The Finance Charges, that is the Total of Payments box, $10,776.78. This is what she would have paid over the entire length of the loan had she continued this contract. (Copies of
the Bill of Sale and Contract are attached.) The consumer explained to me that she completely understood.
The consumer explained to me that she never did receive a refund check for the difference for the tag and title fees. I explained to the consumer that the controller will issue a new check for this difference as soon as she is able to verify that check was not cashed. The Gap Insurance is being cancelled but we have to wait for the Gap company to send that refund check to us which could take up to 30 days. I have assured the consumer that we have no problem with refunding any and all moneys owed to her
Sincerely,
Accounts Receivable
