Dave Smith sold me a $80,000 2023 GMC (not a Chrysler because there's no GMC option to select) with the bottom side and engine compartment covered in rust, and I didn't notice until I got home. We waited More

Dave Smith Motors responded

First and foremost, our dealership does not manufacture vehicles. Our dealership does not have any control over the freight from the factory which may result in time delays. Our dealership does not warranty the products that General Motors produces. All of these things are under General Motors. After speaking to the salesman and his manager, there are key points that Mr. Erick Kelley forgot to mention about the steps those two employees and others at our dealership had taken to address his concerns. Photos were taken of the surface rust on the undercarriage, and sent to General Motors for their review. The General Motors representative stated in their response that the surface rust was at an acceptable level for the truck, and that there was nothing for them to fix. Even though it was not required, our dealership offered to take the vehicle back in on trade at the full price that Mr. Erick Kelley paid. The first step taken was to see if we could find a replacement from our inventory or at another dealership. Unfortunately because the truck was a 2023 model there was nothing that was available in an equal or close to match. Our next step was to find an incoming stock vehicle that was available in our inventory. There was a truck that was a couple weeks out from arrival and it was presented to Mr. Kelley. Our salesman said that Mr. Kelley stated, he was going to try and work with other dealerships to find what he was after. Obviously nothing worked out on that end for Mr. Kelley, and he eventually took us up on our offer for the truck that was inbound to our store. Mr. Erick Kelley was never made to trade in his truck as he claims. The choice was solely his to return and take delivery of a second vehicle.
