Miss Alvarado, per our discussion at the dealership, we absolutely DID complete the inspection on this vehicle at our reconditioning center and the inspection did NOT note any problem with the braking system. If the braking system was a concern for you after your purchase, we ABSOLUTELY can inspect the brakes as we service nearly all makes and models at our dealership. When the vehicle was taken to Land Rover, you should have contacted us PRIOR to paying $1400 for their recommended repairs. We were never provided with an estimate and also not given the opportunity to confirm the repairs were needed. We would be happy to re-inspect the vehicle for you, and if there was a problem with the brakes, we would repair it for you at our dealership. Please contact me directly to discuss further, general manager, RJ Mahalak.

Mr RJ Based in our last conversation on 02/12/2024, your verbally confirmed the following: vehicle was purchased at FIAT lot; car was bought in 12/2023, the last inspection on MPI was dated 7/2023; Inspection was not completed at your dealer; and you did not inspected the vehicle. In regards of the estimate, you know you indeed saw it, had it in your hands even a video of the damages was presented to you on Monday 2/12/2924. Is extremely troubling to experience such a terrible situation and even traumatic at this time as your lack of honesty, integrity and transparency on selling me a car with bad brakes put my life and my son in great danger, as driving a car with bad brakes is a life or death situation; but this is the least knowledge anybody expected from from a person who runs a dealership. Beyond the horrific experience I had dealing with this issue, the hours I spend trying to get you to checked the brakes, the repairs, the car rental expenses, the time off had to take from my job to deal with you all; the most horrendous is your LACK of Honest, Integrity and Careless attitude to get this issue resolved is incomprehensible.

We are sorry we could not satisfy you. According to our records: Customer came in looking for pre owned gr Cherokee. They bought one that was traded the night before (hadn’t been cleaned or inspected). Gave them a FREE LOANER car to drive while we prepped the Grand Cherokee. The picked up grand Cherokee a couple days later and wanted to install Leather Seats in the vehicle. We arranged it with the vendor and provided another FREE LOANER car to them while the seats were installed. We had to delay transferring plates due to the trade being so fresh, previously liens/titlework had to be finalized before we could finalize their tag work. We informed them that no spare key was turned in but we would try and reach out to the previous owner to see if there was one. Also offered to have our vendor cut a key for them at a discounted rate from our shop. The loaner cars were front line ready vehicles and were not in poor condition at all. Customer lives on a dirt road and possibly picked up some road debris which caused a flat tire. Keeping the license plate at the dealership was a mistake because there was no reason for us to keep it. When they picked up their car after the leather install the tag was installed and registration was provided.

Obviously, the dealership is still not willing to take responsibility. The “free loaners” are absolutely in poor condition. Living on a dirt road does not cause the windshield wipers or the brake lights to malfunction -which both were broken in the first loaner. The low tire pressure light came on in the second loaner before I was even half a mile away from the dealership. I turned around and brought the car back to the dealership, in an effort to prevent being in a dangerous situation driving or replacing the tire on the side of the road, and was told by the dealership that it was a problem with the sensor and I should not expect the sensor to ever turn off. The tires had not touched the dirt road I live on at that time. There was obviously a problem with the tire already when they sent me away from the dealership.
