Ken Garff

I bought a used 2018 Nissan Rogue Sport from Ken Garff Nissan in Riverdale on November 3rd. 45 days later and I still have no title (I paid cash for the car) and more importantly no plates. I called the dealer and was referred to a title clerk at their GMC store on Riverdale road who was handling my title and plates. I asked her what the status was, and she said she had the title but Nissan leasing had not signed it off to clear the lean. I asked her how much longer it would take and she said she had no idea. I asked her if she could give me a guesstimate based on experience so I would nknow when to follow up again. She said it was out of her hands and acted as if she could care less. I told her that if we don't get it soon we need to talk about reversing the sale (according to my research Utah law says that after 45 days that is an option for the consumer) She told me thats between me and the salesman and hung up the phone. Im pretty upset to be treated like this when all I wanted was an idea of when she thought I would get my plates. Your ads say we hear you, but while that may be the case you don't care enough to treat your customers with consideration.

After the dash error message on my Fiat electric that I needed to disconnect the charger and service the charging system, I called Fiat Corporate. The suggestion was rather than damage anything, hire a tow truck to the dealer. A Fiat approved tow that was nearly $300. From my understanding, Ken Garff West Valley is the only Fiat dealer in Utah and I had not done business with them prior. In communication with the service department I was told that the diagnosis was a charge control module for $2,500 and no stock or known availability. I asked what if it doesn't fix the problem only to be told that they had checked everything else and that's what it is. I was told that once I gave the go ahead they would order the part in. Obviously placing my trust in them as a factory dealership I gave the approval. After some time I was notified the car was repaired and ready. Picked it up, drove it home and plugged it in and exactly the same problem error message! Invoice stated to call the service manager before leaving anything but a 5 star review so I did. I was transferred to a voice mail for Ryan. I had no return call or message from Ryan so a day or so later called to find out Ryan is the Assistant and they then transferred me to Chad which was also a voice mail. After leaving him a message I received a message giving me his direct line. In calling the direct line and leaving a message I have heard noting. So in retrospect, the big ear "We Hear You" campaign now seems like just another marketing ruse.

Came in to look at a 2012 Ram 1500 (1c6rd7gt2cs296644) at Ken Garff Ford here in West Valley. I liked the truck and my salesman JR. helped close the deal by adding a tow to the truck. Things seemed to go smoothly until we get to the financing part of the deal and Matt seemed to put in a bunch of extras that I feel were misrepresented as mandatory. When I finally had a chance to review the documents I noticed I was going to pay thousands of dollars financed over the life of the loan. I read that I had time to opt-out if I sent in a copy of the contract and a letter explaining why I wanted to remove some of the extras. I did just that but never heard anything back. I tried calling JR. but he is never there and never returns any of my calls. Also, my truck has a major issue that keeps it from starting sporadically. I took it in a few days after I got it and Garff Ford took it over to Garff Dodge to fix and gave me a new key fob which didn't solve the problem. Nobody could get ahold of JR. or Matt, but Matt did finally call after I left a message. He told me he will have JR. Call me to set something up to fix my starting issue. I never got that call, but I decided to send the truck back to Garff mechanics who were not able to duplicate the problem. I was told to bring it in again when the problem became critical. I now have a truck that starts from time to time and I am not happy at all. VIDEO LINK https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m0mBfCa-WHwZ1SCTKXd37PmGaQpqsNmZ/view?usp=shari...⇄

We have reviewed the chain of events with this case and here is what we have foundOn 1/18/with 143,miles, the vehicle came in running poorly, we diagnosed that the CAM and the Lifter were wornWhen they are worn this can cause metal shavings to go in the engineWe replaced the CAM and lifter, changed the oil and filter and at this point the engine ran great and there was no reason to go any furtherCustomer paid $(deductible) the service contract paid $2,As people know, it is the job of service contracts to keep the cost down so they will only repair parts with a known problem, and will not repair based on conjecture of what could happen in the future On 2/11/with 144,miles the customer brought the vehicle back complaining of a leakWe advised customer of a transmission leakCustomer declined the work being done and was charged a diagnostic fee of $which I would be happy to reimburse as a goodwill On 2/21/with 144,miles, customer brought the vehicle in with an engine leakWe found the valve cover leaking, we replaced the valve cover gasketCustomer Paid $ On 5/4/with 149,119, customer brought the vehicle in with a check engine light running roughly againAfter diagnosing, we informed the customer that the vehicle needed an engine, which the customer declinedIf there was further internal damage this would not have been from a workmanship issue but could have been from the metal shavings in the engine from the initial parts that were faulty, the CAM shaft and lifterCustomer paid $in diagnostic, as the repair was declinedThe service contract (Warranty Contract Carried by a 3rd Party) denied the engine replacement claim, but that would be between the customer and the 3rd party contract holder, not with Ken Garff West ValleyThe only thing we would do is call the 3rd party carrier, price the repair to them, and when/if that work is declined, we would then price that work to the customerIf there are any questions on whether that is/should be a covered item or not, that is a matter of discussion with the 3rd party contract holder, and not with the dealership In total, the customer paid $302.51, the 3rd party warranty company paid $2,We are willing to reimburse the customer $as a goodwill, but the $2,was not paid by the customerIf the customer has a concern about what is or what is not covered under their service contract, that would be a matter of discussion with the 3rd party companyWe are sorry for the alleged mistreatment, and will have a discussion with the individuals involved
