Lithia Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Spokane

BEWARE!I am so disgusted with the sales department at North Spokane. Lithia and what arrogant people they have working for them. I came in to sell my 2008 Jeep Wrangler to them. They PRINTED paperwork and said that $10,6188 was the value for trade in. I asked for $10,800 and they said no. The next day I call them and said I thought about it and if they still want my jeep I will take the offer of $10,6188. He came after talking to the manager, and said "He doesn't recall making you an offer" LOL. He said did we give you paperwork? I said you sure did and we even negotiated that amount. He said no we will offer you $7500 LOL! I have done business with them since 2011 and even bought a brand new car in 2017. My next Jeep I buy WILL NOT BE LITHIA! If you do decide to buy a car there, there avoid John and his manager which is the short dude with something to prove. In the business world if you have a good experience with someone that person on average will tell one person. If that experience was bad, the average person tells 10 people. I will be writing reviews on other platforms to help the next buyer or seller!

I purchased a 2016 Dodge Ram from this dealer and I didn't get the keys for the tailgate.
I have called this so called dealer 4 times to get the keys and each time I was told they would get right on it and resolve the problem and call me.
I have not received any response.
They are so attentive when you walk into the showroom.
I was also told by Christian the at the scratches on the truck could be buffed out another lie. They can't be buffed out

I am rejecting this response because: We have spent enough time in this untrustworthy shop. It
is over a mile round trip and over hour commute both ways to get to this place. All wasted drive time and hours without my car for a appointment that you did not do!! I do not trust any of your employees to drive my vehicle this amount of time. For a dealership that has gotten the "Customer Satisfaction Award" you are poor at making sure customers are satisfied. You say all detailers called in sick the day of my appointment, yet not one phone call telling us this or when we called to see if our car was done by the promised time at 1:pm we again were not told there was no detailers working that dayWhen we finally get a call saying the car is done and "detailed" and ready for pick up we show up to it not being doneHMMMM yet you don't lie huh?? We had to ask for week after the sale for a copy of the service report, and we had to go get it from you, as Mike would not email it. When we get it and look at it we find that it was quickly filled out as "all good" yet when we were buying it the copy we saw there said it needed tires and an air filter, yet this shows all was goodAnother lie. We went to change the air filter and and the cover wasn't even latched at allI can not trust your dealership or service department at all. The only reason you are now responding is because I had to go to the Revdex.comNo return calls until thisPOOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Picture is how we got our car back after being at your shop for hour to be detailed.
Sincerely,

Too Whom It May Concern
If the ***'s (sorry if I misspelled your name in the past) would like us to look at there truck again, we would have no problem with thatI ask that they call me and set apt with methis way I know it there and can stay involved with it
I will still offer a rental car to them as I may want it over night

Too Whom It Way Concern
We are certainly sorry for your troubles you are having! Intermittent problems are worse enemy! If a problem does not act up it's next to impossible to positively trace out the problem!
I since your frustration as when I looked into your history with Barton Auto I see
we looked at it twice for this concern, each time it did not act upthere was a unrelated update which
we did perform that as precaution, it was a update to powertrain control moduleThe second time there was a stored fault code for loss of communication, the truck passed all test,
at that time we replaced a communication hub as precaution, checked all wires and connectors, cleared code, road tested several time problem never acted up for us!
We are more then happy to look at it again I know its inconvenient to be with out a vehicle so a can offer you a rental and pass the charges to ChryslerAfter reviewing our dealings
I believe Barton Auto has done everything with in our powersAlthough we are willing to do everything in our powers to repair this problem!

We will pick up the car, detail it properly and bring it back. We apologize, but there were no lies. All three detailers actually called in sick on the same day

Again Mr*** is ill informed and not fully disclosing the factsFirstly, we brought our truck in "again" on Oct to address the issue a forehand mentioned (invoice # ***)Additionally, "3" recalls, a replacement regulator for the drivers side window, the cruise control, a possible problem with the transmission and an oil changeThe service advisor, *** *** (who was termanated the same day!), did not list the oil change on the original paperwork nor did he put down the diagnostic for the transmission while also assigning our truck to a mechanic installing an engine on another vehicleWe did not find out that the oil change was not completed or the transmission looked at until that evening when we picked up the truck.Secondly, the the oil change was paid for by Barton Dodge due to the incompetence of the service advisor who didn't put it on the invoice, also it was not out of goodwill that a rental car was provided, but due to two facts1, we requested a service van ride back to our home, but because we live in Elk, we're too far out of town to be offered this courtesy2, the rental car was also provided because (see previous statement) there was absolutely no way to determine how long our truck would be at the dealerMr*** is correct, we were in fact at the dealer today, only because the oil was not changed when we brought the truck in on Oct or we would not have had to come inAlso because the transmission was not looked at when we brought the truck in we had to make a future appointment for the 26th of October to have it looked atIt is the hope of the service advisor that we spoke with today, that the two additional parts, that had to be ordered, will be delivered by the time we bring the truck back. Lastly, Mr*** states how honest he and his employees are and yet he has lied, mislead and misrepresented the factsAs I mentioned in my last response, my wife and I spoke with Mr*** when we first addressed the "main" issue and he was fully awear that our truck was taken in to Rairdon Dodge numerous timesAs requested, I attempted to get these service records emailed to me multiple times and Rairdon will not email them to meI have reported this issue directly to Dodge (April 15), Case #***, contact number *** *** *** and requested Dodges findings and reports emailed and have been refusedI have left messages (with ***), and do not have my calls returned. I take issue with Mr***s claims to honesty for the following reason(s): Mr*** misrepresented the facts by not including context, inferring we had only addressed our concerns with him and his service department, falseMr*** stated that even though we had our truck in this morning we didn't have our truck looked at regarding this matter, falseAs stated already, our truck was brought in on October as shown on the invoice # ***. Mr*** states he provided a free oil change and services related to our truck, falseMr*** was not aware of the oil change mishap until today because of the incompetence of the attending service advisor, all additional work done on the truck fell under warranty or due to recalls (X3), misrepresentation of the facts. Mr*** states that it was out of goodwill that he provided a rental car for my wife and I, falseAgain, Mr*** was unaware of the rental car provided for us until after the factThe rental car was provide due to 1, the distance of our home, thereby not affording us the use of the courtesy shuttle 2, the inability of knowing how long our truck would be at the dealer and 3, a matter of policy while under warranty. Mr*** was contacted by the Revdex.com and had my response and completely ignored it, clearly hoping I would not follow upMr*** was contacted by the Revdex.com and he assured the Revdex.com that he would in fact respond the the complaint and did not, after he gave his word that he wouldIt took another call to get the response that I received today or I would still be waiting. Clearly there is reasonable precedent(s) that I question Mr***s integrity regarding my concerns as they are lacking rectitude. In conclusion, I have suggested that Mr*** conduct an audit, thereby taking the initiative to facilitate a positive outcome to an issue that exists and is not being addressedI can provide at least one person who is having a simular issue(s) but instead of the truck turning off, there heater turns on and I don't even have access to Dodges databaseI have exceeded the amounts of times the state demands that a vehicle be brought in under the lemon lawWhile Mr*** states his mechanics cannot duplicate the the problem, it doesn't change the fact that the problem existsI have brought my truck in on two different occasions immediately after the whole dashboard cluster rebooted while I was driving and the engine restartedDodge states that the computer does not even show this happeningI suggested that I could try to somehow record it happening but was told a mechanic would have to "observe" it! Even if a mechanic did observe it, according to Mr***, there would be NO visible markers that the mechanic observed anything, as the diagnostic computers can't find a record of the occurrences (according to Mr*** and Dodge)There is a serious safety concern here and given the amount of electronic safety recalls I've received since I've had the truck, there would see to exist an overall problem with the electronics in the truckI would hope that in Mr***s next reply that he one, take the time to at least get our last name spelled correctly and two, refer to prior history so as to be at least knowledgable of the factsMr***s attempt to re-route the facts by down playing the severity of the issues and completely bypassing context suggests Mr*** does not take our concerns seriously.
