RE: Revdex.com Customer statement from Mr*** ***
Mr***,
We appreciate your effort to share your comments with us. First, our
apologies that statements made to you weren't totally clear and that the used
car manager or sales manager did not speak with you.
Secondly, we
will review our process to ensure that communication from our staff is understandable and fulfilled.
As we discussed in our phone call last week, the doc fee was from
an outdated ad on another vehicle. Although we were prepared to honor
the $doc fee and the vehicle price, you opted to purchase a
different vehicle from another company
We do appreciate your call to inform us of that and wish you a Happy Holiday season.
If there is anything else I can do please call or email me. Hopefully we can work together in the future

Very happy with business's response and very happy with Revdex.com!

Customer [redacted]First, we apologize if any calls or information were not responded to in a more timely or clear fashion.  We have discussed with our staff about ensuring that customers are communicated with thoroughly and promptly. The damage was forwarded to GM (General Motors) and declined under the bumper to bumper warranty.  [redacted] also declined coverage for repairs of the damage. Both cited "environmental or outside influences" damage that is not covered by the warranty. It is more difficult than normal to assist the customer in a situation like this where the vehicle is located out of state.  If more conversation is required, please contact Anel U**, JN Service manager at [redacted] or General Manager J M[redacted].  Or call [redacted] and ask for them.

We have researched this situation and have ascertained the following:  The power steering recall in question is 3 years old, from 2014.   It was completed in Guam and there is no history of Mr. [redacted] re-visiting that dealership to share a problem with the...

recall work.   Although Mr. [redacted] stated that the current problem(s) is from the same recall, a diagnostic exam is needed to identify the actual cause.  There are many parts to a steering system that may or may not be related to the said recall.   The $150 charge is a normal diagnostic fee for any vehicle repair (excluding normal maintenance, current recalls and some other situations).  It is needed to accurately diagnose the problem to ensure that the appropriate work is done.   Since the current problem is not linked to any open recalls, it is treated like a normal repair visit.   If the diagnostic fee was acceptable, the cause of the problem could have been diagnosed.  If the problem was a result of poor workmanship or a faulty part of the recall in 2014, the diagnostic fee could be waived pending confirmation with GM (General Motors).   With a vehicle that is 11 years old and has 120,000+ miles, it is probable that there will be wear and tear issues for almost every element of the car - especially for moving parts like the steering.   The communication of the trespassed status was a result of profanity used by Mr. [redacted] with the service manager, Anel.   The communication was sent to Mr. [redacted] on June 5 because of the due diligence that was being done to ensure that this action was appropriate for the situation.   There are two other Chevrolet dealerships and two GM dealerships on Oahu that can do work needed on Mr. [redacted]'s vehicle.   We do apologize that the experience Mr. [redacted] had was not as smooth and pleasant as any consumer would hope for.Mahalo, David H[redacted]Director Corporate and Community RelationsJN Chevrolet

Response to comments from [redacted]:I had an appointment scheduled for 0930 to get the problem checked out. I didn't hear anything back from the repair shop until I called them around 1400 on the same day. The customer service representative said that there was a "loose wire" that they...

reconnected and the car runs fine now.Our apologies that the response time on your vehicle was not as timely as it should have been.  Our staff has been coached on improving this function.Informed that Mr. [redacted] told the service consultant that he tried to change some of spark plugs himself but couldn't finish it because they were too hard to get to.  JN technician performed diagnostic and found P0351 #1 ignition coil deactivated due to being disconnected.  Tech reconnected and checked - no codes reset.  For customer to get to spark plugs himself he had to have removed the ignition coil.    The customer service representative said that there was a "loose wire" that they reconnected and the car runs fine now. I was charged $172 for them to run the code and clear the code. They said they cleared the check engine light and everything was good to go.  See #2 and #3 above.   Four days later the check engine light came back on with the same issue. I had a friend take a look at the vehicle and they said the dealership cleared the check engine light which made the problem temporarily go away, but the underlying problem was still there. There are many reasons that a "check engine light" will be triggered.  Without inspection of the vehicle by a trained technician, and the proper diagnostic equipment, it is impossible to tell what the specific problem is.    I attempted to call them back and got shuffled around to multiple different people and was never able to talk directly to the customer service representative that I initially dealt with.Please call the Service Manager, Anel Uno at 831-2560 to discuss this specific comment and the work that was done on your vehicle.  We are very intent on ensuring that your experience is a positive one and look forward to working with you on this.

RE: Complaint ID [redacted] ([redacted])
To Whom It May Concern,
This letter is in response to the above-referenced
complaint, made to the Revdex.com by Ms[redacted] ("Ms
[redacted]")
Our records indicate the vehicle in question, a [redacted] (VIN # [redacted])
was received by Ms[redacted] on September 1, 2015. Ms[redacted]' documents were sent to her via
[redacted] within a few days of our receipt of the fully executed agreement back
from Ms[redacted], and a [redacted] tracking number was provided at that timeThese
documents have since been received by Ms[redacted].
Ms[redacted]' vehicle was shipped from Honolulu, Hawaii to
Encico, California, a distance of over 2,miles by water. The shipping company was [redacted]
Services. Due to the severe weather
conditions the State of Hawaii was experiencing at that time, a delay was
incurred. As soon as the vehicle was
shipped both Ms[redacted]' Hospitality Brand Specialist, [redacted] Iha, and Finance
Manager, Bill R[redacted], made communication with Ms[redacted] and provided updates to
her on the shipping status and the delay.
Attached is only some of the email correspondence that was digitally
transmitted to Ms[redacted]. When Ms
[redacted]' vehicle finally arrived in California on August 27, it took
several days for [redacted] Services to off load the vehicleManagement
staff at [redacted] Honolulu made multiple phone calls to [redacted] in an
attempt to try and encourage them to off load the vehicle faster. However, due to the vehicle's location on the
shipping barge, the vehicle took several days to be off loadedA further
attempt to assist Ms[redacted], [redacted] Honolulu paid for direct home
delivery of the vehicle
We at [redacted] Honolulu take great care to ensure
that important matters such as these are properly managed. However, we cannot control the weather and
have no ability to speed up the shipping process, especially under the rare
threat of four back-to-back hurricanes approaching our islands, and the flash
flooding and heavy rains that ensued during this time. As you may have heard, Hawaii's weather over
the last few weeks has been extremely harsh, and this rendered the unfortunate
delay in delivery of Ms[redacted]' vehicle unavoidable
We would be happy to provide Ms[redacted] with reimbursement
of her rental vehicle fees once we are supplied with a paid receipt as we had
previously communicated to her
Please contact me should you have any further questions or
concern
Sincerely,
Ralph [redacted]
General Manager

Mr. [redacted] has picked up his vehicle and it appears that all concerns have been addressed and clarified

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:  I have been bringing in my vehicle for two years and wasting my time.  The issue and inconvenience remain unresolved.  Additionally, there was no comment about our horrible purchase experience.
Sincerely,
[redacted]

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:
You have either failed to thoroughly read and understand my complaint, did not see my full complaint, or have been given inaccurate information from your employees because there are several falsities in your reply. YOU STATE: "Ms. [redacted]’ documents were sent to her via [redacted] within a few days of our receipt of the fully executed agreement back from Ms. [redacted], and a [redacted] tracking number was provided at that time." TRUTH: Only one document sent to me a "few days" after and that was the registration. I did not receive title until the same day I  received the vehicle and I had to request that and copies of the agreement on NUMEROUS occasions.YOU STATE: "Due to the severe weather conditions the State of Hawaii was experiencing at that time, a delay was incurred." TRUTH: The delay I speak of in my complaint has nothing to do with weather delays or [redacted]. I was originally told my vehicle would be delivered by 8/21 so the delay resulted from poor communication and miscommunication on behalf of [redacted] Honolulu which caused my vehicle to miss the original 9/14 shipping date so it had to go on the following weeks shipment of 8/21. As far as I know weather did not cause a delay for [redacted]'s 8/21 shipment  because Bill originally quoted a 9/2 arrival and it arrived 8/27, which would have made it EARLY.YOU STATE: "As soon as the vehicle was shipped both Ms. [redacted]’ Hospitality Brand Specialist, [redacted] Iha, and Finance Manager, Bill R[redacted], made communication with Ms. [redacted] and provided updates to her on the shipping status and the delay."  TRUTH: 1) nobody was even aware my vehicle was delivered to me until AFTER I had informed them that I took it upon myself to get my vehicle delivered. 2) Bill has not made contact since 8/18 and 3) Jamie, the only employee who attempted to make contact, had emailed me stating she was STILL waiting on her pre-owned director to get the shipping updates I requested the day BEFORE so this statement you just made is a flat out lie from either you or your employees.My complaint had absolutely NOTHING to do with the weather conditions causing a delay of the vehicle being delivered because the vehicle was not delivered late at all through [redacted]. My complaint has everything to do with the lack of communication from Bill R[redacted] after receiving my payment. Bill had already offered car rental reimbursement and home delivery to me free of charge BEFORE the vehicle was delivered but your reply is making it seem as if that was offered as compensation to the car being delivered late now...but the car was not delivered late so I am unsure why you even brought that up as that was a promise already agreed upon before I purchased the vehicle. So again, my issue with your staff, specifically Bill R[redacted], is the lack of communication and professionalism. I have never purchased a vehicle sight unseen and to not be able to get simple information like a tracking number or the whereabouts of my vehicle was extremely stressful. I understand things take time but to just flat out ignore a customer is ludicrous to me! I did not hear from Bill since the day after my wire was accepted despite NUMEROUS attempts and that is completely unacceptable especially for a "luxury dealership"... to date I still have not heard from Bill with the simplest of apologies. I was only able to get the vehicle delivered to my home on the day that I did through efforts of my own by having to take time out of my busy schedule to contact [redacted] several times until they finally released the name of the trucking company that [redacted] Honolulu hired for the home delivery. This is when I was able to find out who had possession of my vehicle and was able to provide them with my contact information so they could get me my vehicle that day...why on earth was this so difficult for ANYONE at [redacted] Honolulu to do for me? I asked at least 5 people via email, including you Ralph, when would my vehicle be scheduled for home delivery so that I could be home to accept it and NOT ONE PERSON COULD OR WOULD ANSWER MY QUESTION. This unfortunately seems to be how employees there are trained as numerous times I had to repeat questions in my emails as employees would select which of my questions they would answer and continuously ignore the rest. I am not sure if this is because they didn't know the answer but even in the case of not knowing a simple reply no acknowledge my questions would have sufficed. Had I not done your employees job on 9/1/15 I would have experienced yet ANOTHER delay in the delivery of my vehicle as nobody had any updates for me even AFTER the time I had already taken possession of my vehicle....very poor communication and lack of respect for customers times and concern. As far as your offer to resolve this matter, you are offering something that I had already been promised prior to this complaint. Car rental reimbursement was agreed upon BEFORE purchasing the vehicle as compensation for the FIRST delay your company caused me by missing the 8/14 shipment so you offering me something that was already promised on a previous mistake should not be included as compensation for my current grievance which is why I am still requesting my current desired resolution/outcome for THIS complaint with the Revdex.com. Because you state "We at [redacted] Honolulu take great care to ensure that important matters such as these are properly managed." , I truly look forward to a speedy resolution so that I may remove any and all negative reviews about your company. I have all correspondenances between your employees and I should you require for your review. 
Sincerely,
[redacted]
