  Colonial Honda has misused my social security number and committed identity theft and fraud which has resulted in my credit score dropping significantly. They claimed it was a "clerical error", and that it "would not impact my credit score". However, I have my credit reports that prove that it has clearly impacted my credit score, wasted hours of my time, taken me away from work and caused anxiety and distress. I did NOT go to their establishment. I did NOT consent for them to use my SSN and create 9 hard inquiries on my account resulting in a significant drop of my credit score. This clear negligence is unacceptable. I got nothing in terms of assistance to make this right.

  On July 26, 2024 I purchased a 2014 Honda CR-V EX-L from Colonial Honda. From the pictures provided and the walk around inspection 2 days prior the car appeared to be well taken care of by the 2 previous owners. We were told the car had been inspected. On the day of purchase I did a short test drive. *** car seemed fine. I was told the car would be serviced while I was signing paperwork. ***re is a 3 day window in which to return the car. I had set up an appointment with my mechanic to have the car checked on Monday, July 29th. On the way home the car was riding a little rough but I figured the previous owners may not have done a lot of highway driving. My mechanic found issues that were minor but I feel should have been caught by Colonial Honda's service department and information disclosed to me. *** estimated price to have the issues fixed comes to a total of $1344. *** original warranty is still valid due to the low miles. *** car was not an "as is" purchase and the contract shows this as well. My daughter went to the dealership after no response from an email she sent. She was advised by the Assistant General Manager, per the State of Virginia after a car reaches a certain amount of years they are only required to ensure the car passes state inspection. ***y did not do a multipoint inspection. He kept bringing up the fact that this is a used car and insinuated that our concerns are misplaced because this is a used car. I am offended. If a mere inspection is done after a car reaches a certain amount of years who's responsible should there be an accident or fatality after taking the car off the lot. At this point, I have to wonder if the car still would've been sold if there was a major issue. It appears this dealership only does the bare minimum unless I guess the car is brand new or not 10 years or more. *** customer doesn't matter, only the revenue they bring. As far as I'm concerned, the dealership lied to me which means they stole from me as well

  ******************** is very happy with her 2014 CR-V purchase. Her mechanic noted some maintenance items when he checked the vehicle over for her. She preferred to use her mechanic rather than coming back to the dealership as we offered. We agreed to pay 50% of the bill and she had the services completed on Friday.
  

  Sincerely,

  I am sorry to hear about the issues with the ***** you purchased last September.I know the vehicle is at the ***** dealership, per your request, addressing the last of the issues currently. These repairs should take care of the majority of the issues that you listed for our service manager. A few of the items were maintenance items, as you have had the vehicle for 9 months an driven ****** miles. ** you are still unhappy when ***** completes the repairs, we will gladly explore the option of trading you out of the ***** and into a different vehicle.
  
  Sincerely,
