I purchased a Jeep Wrangler 4xe (PHEV) from this dealership and the electric motor/battery has been giving me problems for several months. The vehicle was dropped off for service a 2nd time on Dec. dealership and the electric motor/battery has been giving me problems for several months. The vehicle was dropped off for service a 2nd time on Dec. 12th for a recall, which they said would take 1-2 hours and would resolve the ongoing problems, and a fix of the “death wobble”, an extremely common issue with Wranglers. They had the vehicle for EIGHT full days and refused to provide a loaner vehicle. The day after the vehicle was picked-up, I was turning at an intersection and the vehicle lost motor function/propulsion, leaving me sitting in the middle of the intersection with traffic oncoming from both directions. Fortunately, the vehicle began to accelerate with not much time to spare. I then spoke with the Service Manager, Jim Huey, who seemed to be bothered by my phone call and certainly didn’t care that the vehicle was unsafe to drive and *literally* put lives at-risk. He didn’t even offer so much as an apology. There was no sense of urgency on their part and his attitude was essentially “we’ll fix when we can fix it”. Not only did they not repair the vehicle, but it was worse off than it was before they serviced it. There are several other concerns with this dealership and their handling of this entire situation, which is still ongoing. More
Don't go here for service of any type! They break things and don't fix it then want you to pay for another diagnostic! I paid over 2k for a TIPM. Then did airbag recalls.

Now my airbag light is on and they want me to pay again! More
Can I give you less than one star. My vehicle was in for inspection and the technician put the car on the lift.

Somehow, well doing something they snapped something with the transmission. They refused to tape responsibility. They wanted to charge us $700 to fix what they broke. Had to call the state police. They broke our vehicle and tried to blame us. Will never ever recommend this dealership. They kicked my husband the dealership and told him to call a tow truck and take the car elsewhere. More
ER DODGE JEEP! On at least 4 occasions, I brought my 2017 Ram Longhorn in for a failure of my air suspension system. My truck lowers completely down to its lowest p On at least 4 occasions, I brought my 2017 Ram Longhorn in for a failure of my air suspension system. My truck lowers completely down to its lowest point, giving a ride similar to driving a fork truck down the road. This began to happen approximately 4 months prior to my extended warranty running out. A number of major and expensive parts were changed and supposedly numerous troubleshooting tests were performed to no avail. I asked the service team to escalate this problem to their STAR (engineering group). They refused to follow up in this way telling me that STAR usually recommends things that they know how to figure out on their own. Ego and pride prevented them to do the right thing costing me physical anguish, since I suffer with sever scoliosis and disc damage in my lower lumbar. With me having the same problem within hours of leaving the dealership every time, they told me that they could contact a regional field rep to come in to troubleshoot. I called them for additional info as to when I could have this person troubleshoot my truck only to be told that this support tech will not work on vehicles over 3 years old. Additional visits and additional unnecessary parts were put on my truck, wasting money and time in an attempt to get more money from my warranty company. I eventually took my truck to another Dodge dealership in Pennsylvania, where within 3 hrs of them working on my truck they looked at the air suspension bags only to find my driver-side rear suspension air bag had a number of leaks. When I notified Carman Dodge of the other dealership's findings, they told me that this issue had to have started after my last (unresolved) service visit with them. You would think that they would gladly make the repair after their misdiagnoThe service manager, Steve Martino, more or less called me a liar and stated that since he had a long-standing relationship with his technician, he was honest and I was not. He initially stated that I had to pay for the repair, then he later turned around and said they'll do the labor if I BUY THE PARTS. No way with the parts costing $1300.00! The audacity that this dealership has shown me has prompted me to write this email. If you care at all about your money or vehicle, DON'T COME WITHIN MILES OF CARMAN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE! SHARE THIS REVIEW WITH ANYONE THAT YOU LOVE OR CARE ABOUT. HORRIBLE PEOPLE. More

I have emailed Mark Webb 5 times about an issue with my vehicle and I have yet to hear back. I had originally contacted Al, who sold me my vehicle, and he was great and even forwarded my email to him as we vehicle and I have yet to hear back.

This Dealer is Horrible! I'm the owner of 4 Dodge vehicles and am new to the New Castle County area. I brought my Durango in for an oil change and tire rotation. The first I'm the owner of 4 Dodge vehicles and am new to the New Castle County area. I brought my Durango in for an oil change and tire rotation. The first bad vibe was, as I pulled into the service door with my vehicle, I noticed the mess all over the bay floor. I then spoke with the advisor and let him know that I would like to drop my Durango off for an oil change and rotation. He first proceeded to say how busy they were with work, which I was completely ok with. The truck could've sat at the dealer for a week or two if need be. The advisor began to take my information and then said "We are not allowed to take in new customers if you never had any service done here before" He also stated they were extremely backed up on big transmission jobs. My question to him was "so the same technician who does transmission repairs do your oil changes and rotations"? He proceeded to say "the last advisor who took in a new customer was in trouble with management for doing so" As a 15-year employee for a very reputable heavy-duty truck dealership group (service manager). I would NEVER tell any customer I can not take in their vehicle no matter what the repair is! I left Carman's service department and brought my truck to Hertrich where they took it right in without any issues. I've purchased multiple new, used vehicles from Dodge dealers. I've used multiple dealers for parts and services. This dealer will NEVER see a cent of my money! My advice to anyone looking for a Dodge dealer in the New Castle County area would be to avoid Carman Chrysler Jeep Dodge at all costs! More
5 stars for the folks in the service department! It was easy to schedule an appointment and Carman provided next day service. They were efficient, friendly and professional! Good service after the sale is easy to schedule an appointment and Carman provided next day service. They were efficient, friendly and professional!

Brought in my 2021 Jeep for an oil change and 2 recalls on a Saturday, waited two hours and they never did the oil change. Tony claims he didn't know i wanted the oil change even through that was the orgin on a Saturday, waited two hours and they never did the oil change. Tony claims he didn't know i wanted the oil change even through that was the orginal service made. Had to make another appointment talked to Tony who was behind the desk sat he ended up refusing to do my service bc I said they had been at fault for me having to come back. Tony has been very rude to me in the past as well. I will NEVER buy a vehicle from them with a poor service manager and department! Inside sales was always great shame the service department isn't the same. More
