      The ** Shift to Park recall is an against ************** (**) for a defect that prevents drivers from knowing when their car is in park. The issue affects multiple ** models and years, including:******** Chevrolet Malibu ******** Chevrolet Volt ******** Chevrolet Traverse 2019 Chevrolet Blazer ******** **C Acadia The defect can cause vehicles to:Display "Shift to Park" messages even when in park; Fail to recognize that they are in park a may Roll away if not fully shifted into park. This issue poses a safety concern because drivers may assume their car is off and parked when it's not. ** issued a ***************** Bulletin (TSB) in 2021 to address the issue, but there is no effective repair. My car is a ***** 2017 Camaro that should belong on this list of cars with the same issues. ** will not put the vehicle on the list. ***** of Bridgeview wants $175 to just look at it and denied the other cars had issues. Basically lying to take money from me. ***** should know that there have recalls. My car is no different. I shouldnt have to pay $175 just to have it looked at and then repaired. Apparently, there is no remedy for this battery guzzling problem. It doesnt stop binging for ***** minutes a time.

      We value our customers' feedback and always strive to provide the best possible service. We empathize with the customer's frustration and understand their concerns about safety and potential recalls. However, the decision to issue recalls is determined by the vehicle manufacturer, in this case, **************, and not by individual dealerships. As a Chevrolet dealership, we adhere to **'s recall and warranty policies. At this time, the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro is not included in the list of models affected by *** recall or ***************** Bulletin for any shift to park related issue.
      Our service department offered to diagnose their vehicle for a $175 diagnostic fee,which is standard for non-recall-related services. This fee is necessary to properly inspect the vehicle and determine what the source of their issue is.
      We regret any confusion or dissatisfaction this situation may have caused our customer, and we are more than willing to assist in diagnosing the vehicle and working with them to find a solution. We also encourage the customer to contact ** directly if they wish to pursue further clarification on potential recalls **************.
      Thank you for your understanding as we work to properly resolve any concerns.

      ****************** brought in his vehicle in on 1-23 with ****** miles. His complaint was for a check engine light being on and he said he could hear a thumping noise when braking especially in the mornings R.O.# *****. The technician found two stored codes, P0171 and P0174. He replaced the purge valve which resolved the two stored codes and corrected the complaint. The technician test drove the vehicle and was unable to duplicate the thumping noise while braking. The technician did state if the customer was driving during icy conditions and started to slide, the *** system would engage and could potentially make noises similar to the customers complaint; however, that was by design. 

      ****************** brought the vehicle back in on 2-12 and ****** miles. His complaint was that his vehicle was "banging into gear" in the mornings. He stated there was an oil leak and he could also hear a ticking noise from the engine. The technician test drove the vehicle and could not duplicate the customers concerns at that time. He checked for stored codes, no codes were present. He left the vehicle running in his stall on the lift and no leaks were found. The technician looked up the ***** bulletins on the vehicle and found 20-na-187 which stated the vehicle noises he experienced were a normal condition. The technician also checked all his oil levels and they were full. The technician did not hear any excessive engine noise and confirmed the vehicle was operating to the manufacturers specifications. 

      ****************** is welcome to bring his vehicle back into our service department. We will have a technician test drive his vehicle with him to see if he can duplicate any of his concerns.

      I purchased a **** Transit Connect XLT on 8/26/2023 from Advantage Chevrolet in Bridgeview, **.Within three weeks, the brakes locked up on the highway and nearly caused an accident.The repair shop advised that rotors, calipers, and pads were bad on all four wheels. The *** module was also bad. All required immediate replacement to make the vehicle safe.Advantage Chevrolet did not do their due diligence in a safety inspection of the vehicle. If they had looked at the brake system, they would have realized it all needed to be replaced.As I live in ************, ********, it was not feasible to have the van towed to Bridgeview, ******** for repairs and the vehicle was unsafe to drive that distance.Additionally, I sold my 2023 ******* Elantra to Advantage Chevrolet. I received a letter stating that checks for payments were sent within ***** business days, assuming a clear title. As I had a lien, I waited for a lien release letter from ******* Motor Finance Company before starting the time. I still have not received the check. I am told that they are now waiting on a title from the state of ********, which can take up to 90 days - but this is not the agreement. They have received a letter stating that the lien has been released and they have not sent my check. Furthermore, they failed to properly transfer my plate registration to ******** in a timely manner. They have asked for additional information - including the old registration from my ******* and a picture of my license plate - so they may attempt to transfer registration. They charged a fee of over $150 for this service when I told them I would be more than happy to take the registration in to the ******** Secretary of State and do the transfer myself. I was told that "they had to do it."

      The vehicle ******************************* purchased had a used car inspection completed on 8/11/23 and it had ****** miles at that time. As part of the inspection the technician documented the brake measurements. The brake measurements were, drivers side front 8mm, passenger side front 8mm, drivers rear 6mm, and passenger rear 6mm (see attached R.O.). As a point of reference, brand new brake pads measurements are 10mm. We generally replace brake pads on a non-certified vehicle if they are less than 4mm during a used car inspection. If a caliper was seized during the initial inspection, the brake pad measurements would be significantly less than they were. With a seized caliper you would have premature brake wear and signs of the rotor overheating. On 8/22/23 at ****** miles, the vehicle was brought into our service by a sales consultant for drivers front seat not adjusting (see attachment). The vehicle was driven 66 miles while in our ownership. There was no sign of a brake issue while in our inventory. 

      The letter the customer is referencing in regards to payments for purchasing his used car clearly states, checks will be mailed within ***** days "with a clear title". He did not have a clear title which he references by stating "lien release letter" in his complaint. Advantage Chevrolet had to pay his loan off through ************* Finance in order for him to receive a "lien release". Although we did not receive the title due to him having a lien, we decided to send him a check in advance of receiving the title despite our internal policy, which he received on November 8th (see attached Fed Ex tracking). 

      The customer wanted to transfer his Michigan license plates onto the vehicle he purchased. This requires him to provide us with his current registration at the time of purchase, which he did not provide. There were multiple emails requesting this information from ***** from our title clerk. In the email correspondence on October 12th, ***** wrote "I was not able to find my registration. I'm sure I threw it away. If they need to issue a new plate that's fine." (see attachment). We are obligated to perfect the title and register customers license plates on out of state deals by our lenders, because of the delays caused when handled otherwise. The delay has been due to delays in ***** providing the necessary documentation Michigan requires. On November 9th Michigan informed our titling agency, they had successfully processed his paperwork. We will continue to follow up on the status of his license plates and update him via email whenever we have received additional information from Michigan.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      I brought my vehicle title in a white envelope and gave it to Denzell at the time of my vehicle purchase. While I appreciate that it takes ***** days to mail a check with a clean title, I did not expect a check in the mail until ***** days after I received the lien release letter from ******** which would have been ***** days after the purchase date. 

      I brought my vehicle registration on the day of purchase as I drove the ******* to the dealership. If it had been requested I would have given it to them.  It was either not requested at the time we signed the papers or it was lost.

When I went to the dealership I was refused service because I didnt want to buy the optional $3000 dollar service package. When I asked the service worker why I would have to pay for an optional package he told me its the only way theyll make extra commissions . When I asked to speak to the Manager i was told I can opt out for the additional package but he was going to add the extra money to the retail of the car and change the pricing in the system. When I told him that wasnt ethical and illegal. He told me thats too bad and to shop somewhere else.

      On July 18th I had AAA tow my car to advantage Chevrolet for diagnostic test. My repair total came to $2000 which I figured was a bit extensive as the recipes showed parts totaling $233 Meaning I was charged over $1000 for labor, now as my car is my livelihood I was able to borrow the money and get the repair. I picked up the car Wednesday 7/19/23 at 6:30pm On 7/20 at 8am headed to work my check engine light came on. And now this establishment is telling me a bunch of lies saying my car came to them damaged etc. Since I picked up the car after hours on Wednesday no one was there besides the receptionist.

      ************************** vehicle was brought in for leaking coolant. RO# ***** 7/18/23 miles ******. The technician found both radiator supports broken off and radiator pushed forward, causing the radiator hose to come in contact with the compressor. It was rubbing a hole in the hose causing a massive coolant leak. Front impact bar was bent in half. The cause for the leak was due to the vehicle being involved in a severe front end collision. The undercarriage plastic shroud was completely missing, and the ambient temperature sensor shroud was loose and hanging with a broken zip tie attached. There were signs of previous faulty repairs, using zip ties to secure radiator hoses to the air conditioning line. Whoever performed the previous repair, did not replace any of the missing parts. We advised the customer of what the technician found. We took the front bumper off and replaced the broken radiator mount and hose.
      Vehicle was towed back in for check engine light being on. RO# ***** 7/25/2023 miles ******. The turbo hose blew off because it was secured with zip ties. We recommended the customer replace the hose and clamp. The vehicle was driven with no coolant. As a result there is potential the cylinder head is warped. We advise the customer should submit a claim to their insurance for the previous damage from their accident.

I also had an oil leak for sometime. So, all this was news to me since none of these issues were ever discovered by Advantage Chevrolet. I spent ******* on the repairs was told about something else that also needed to be replaced due to aging. So, I would like my 3 diagnostics fees refunded since I put my trust in this Advantage Chevrolet service **** only to find out they were not diagnosing my car's problems. I was also told I have an aging water tank (500 repair) my radio and the screen for rearview backing up not working during these 3 visits. I was told I would be charged additional diagnosis fees for each separate problem. Furthermore, I bought this car from this dealership and they gave me a not so good deal so I want my 3 diagnosis fees to be refunded. I did talk to someone in the service **** and he said he would do up to 500 in repairs but I do not want them to work on my car as I did give them a not so good review them and I just don't trust them anymore.

We inspected her vehicle and found the blower motor was not turning on. She came in to complete those repairs on October 5th. She brought her vehicle in on October 11th for a check engine light. The purge valve was replaced under warranty at no charge to the customer. On November 30th she came in for a check engine light. We diagnosed it and found that her turbo was leaking oil. She declined the repairs and said she had someone else who could do the repairs for less. We offered her a discount on repairs which she declined.

      I purchased and traded in a vehicle on 11/12/22 and it was the worst car buying experience of my life. I was quoted $18600 for my trade in and then they only gave me $17000 saying they do a coating on the interior and exterior of every vehicle so they knocked it off the price. They never once mentioned to me that they also charged me for it on the vehicle purchased, explained anything about it, showed me anything about it, or even given any paperwork on it. This is a 2022 vehicle, why would I want to pay $1595 for a warranty thing that is done to every car and they deduct it from your trade in price? They are stealing from you on both ends of the deal and not providing any kind of information of anything or even telling you you're being charged for it. Then I'm there for 3 hours during this process to be there 1 hour after closing to be rushed through the paperwork and pushed out the door. I have made complaints to the company and many people within with nothing being done, more just ignoring me and hoping I go away! I don't want their warranty, never did as I'm already covered bumper to bumper for 5 years 50k miles from the factory, so why would I buy another one? They are overcharging and adding on items without the knowledge of the consumer!

      I am rejecting this response because: I was fraudulently charged for something that I didn't want or was even asked if I wanted it. My paperwork clearly shows no check **** or X next to this so called Package A that I was charged $1595 for. This is supposedly a 7 year interior and exterior warranty from what I was told after questioning what the charge was for and is suppose to be an option that I never added on to my 2022 vehicle that has a 5 year 50k miles bumper to bumper warranty already, so I would never pay for that of it was ever even offered to me. Looking at the warranty paperwork, there is clearly nothing on it about this Package A warranty, nor did I every get anything explained to me about it or even receive any type of information package for it, so once again, what did I get fraudulently charged for? I 100% believe that I should get that money back as there's more then enough proof that I was charged for something I shouldn't have been.

      Thank you for your feedback, we will take your points of any miscommunication under advisement, however we stand by our position that we did nothing wrong. The package A sealcoating was clearly delineated on two different worksheets which you signed and attached in your response. The package A was installed on your vehicle. The salesman would have asked you during the buying process, if you had any rustproofing installed, remote start alarm, or had an extended warranty on your traded-in vehicle. Having any of those items would have added value to your trade-in. We will however refund the cost of the package A in the amount of $1,595, as a one time gesture of customer goodwill. As a result there will be no benefit of any additional warranty with the cancellation of the product.

      Complaint: 18409741

      I am rejecting this response because:
       
        

      I must've somehow closed this case when it shouldn't be closed as I still haven't received any payment towards my loan for the $1595 Advantage Chevrolet of Bridgeview agreed to pay. It has been 2 weeks already since I agreed to their terms to settle for the reimbursement towards my loan with no payment on my loan from them.

      Resolved
      I purchased a car from this dealership back in April of 2022. I also purchased a Gap plan with ALLY. *************************, the Fiance Director handled my account. The first contract was financed with GM. All of my papers, i.e., finance agreement, Gap Addendum, purchase agreement/bill of sale reflected GM as my finance company. Well, that contract fell through. I went back into the dealership and signed a new contract/finance agreement with ***** Fargo. So ***** Fargo was now my finance company. A month or so later I had an accident and the car was totaled. My insurance company paid off my contract. I then requested ************************* to cancel my Gap policy and requested a refund. That is when I discovered that the Finance Director, ************************* did not change my finance company information from GM to ***** Fargo. ALLY issued a refund of $2,000 to GM. I've been trying to resolve this myself. I've reached out to *************************** after a lot of back-and-forth emails, I suggested that the dealership cut me a check for the $2,000, then they should wait to receive the check from ALLY once it was returned by GM. He agreed with me but I have not heard back from him. I've emailed him several times, and left tons of voicemails. I need a resolution to ***************************** error.

      We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience our customer experienced during the process of canceling her warranty. There is however a procedure we must follow in order to fulfill her request. On April 23, 2022, *********************** purchased a 2015 **** Focus from Advantage Chevrolet of Bridgeview. Her approval was denied by GM Financial in underwriting due to loan to value. We were able to get the deal approved through ***** Fargo and brought the customer in to re-sign all necessary paperwork, but the warranty paperwork had already been processed with the original lender. We submitted the cancellation paperwork the day of her request on 7/20. **** canceled the warranty retroactively based on her accident date 5/10 (see attachment). **** issued the refund check to GM Financial on 7/29 (see attachment). **** financial cut the refund check directly to *************************** on 8/24 (see attachment). She should be receiving her check within the next few days (if she hasn't already).
