Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Surprise - Service Center

Rookie About the 2nd week of May 2018 I took my 2012 JKU Wrangler to be serviced at Larry H. Miller Jeep Chrysler for an engine code P304. Cylinder #4 misfir About the 2nd week of May 2018 I took my 2012 JKU Wrangler to be serviced at Larry H. Miller Jeep Chrysler for an engine code P304. Cylinder #4 misfire and the cylinder head had to be replaced; all work was covered under warranty. Whenever I have work done to my vehicles I always inspect the work that was done. I am not a certified mechanic however I have been building cars since I was 13; I have above average mechanical understanding and experience. Before dropping my jeep for service I used my vacuum gauge to test how many inches of vacuum my engine was at. Before leaving my house I measured 18" of manifold vacuum @ 800rpm, that is a pretty good reading for an engine with a 100,000+ miles. I had recently replaced all spark plugs and fuel injectors to eliminate the possibility of misfire. After the work was complete I was at LHM Jeep dealer parking lot picking up my jeep and before leaving I measured the manifold vacuum and my engine, after being serviced by LHM Chrysler Jeep, was at 14" of manifold vacuum. While the engine was idling I could hear a hissing because of a poor intake manifold seal; when I got home I checked the torque of the lower and upper intake manifold they were both very loose, some fasteners were hand loose. I torqued the upper intake M6 bolts are torqued to 89 inch pounds and the lower M6 bolts 106 inch pounds; using my calibrated inch pound torque wrench that has been recently calibrated…………..why? because I like doing s*** right the first time. Since the work has been done to my cylinder head by LHM Jeep my MPG has dropped 18mpg to 14.8mpg. The other mechanical area was the front suspension when I asked LHM Chrysler Jeep for a front alignment. I was told that my ball joints needed to be replaced and this past weekend May 19, 2018 I replaced the driver side upper ball joint because that was the only ball joint that needed replacement. When torqueing my front suspension I noticed that most of the ball joints I had LHM replaced were NOT torqued to specs; again attention to detail is a problem with LHM Chrysler Jeep service department. Then when I spoke to the service manager Seth he stated, “I stand by my mechanics”……….even though I proved there was a problem on their part. That is management who does not think proactively and has tunnel vision; speaking from my 20+ years of management experience both in the U.S. and overseas, Seth is an ineffective leader. In a case like mine, punishment would NOT be effective. The effective approach would have the mechanic go through the process again; either hand write the exact processes as per the service manual or have the individual do a walk through, talk through method for other mechanics to observe and learn from. It was the lack of attention to detail for this mechanic that gave the appearance of incompetence. I have actually made this same mistake myself and I developed processes or checks for myself that prevent mistakes like this. Seth stated that I would not allow this Jeep Service Department work on my Jeep again; YES, that is exactly what I said. If I was interviewing for a job and I messed up and made numerous mistakes would I get a 2nd chance.......no, I wouldn't. Do it right the first time and mange your section professionally and understanding that their are customers like me who will always check maintenance work done by the dealer. More

RIPS OFF CUSTOMERS AND DOESNT CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMER!!!!! I have bought 3 cars from this dealership, and this will be the last!!! I bought a van 2 weeks ago that was advertised around 18400.00 and had a backu I have bought 3 cars from this dealership, and this will be the last!!! I bought a van 2 weeks ago that was advertised around 18400.00 and had a backup camera system. After seeing the car, found out that it did not have the camera system. Saying that they will put the camera system in, I decided to buy it. Then they tried to get me to pay the lot price of 20k and not the internet price. They finally caved and put it as a "preferred customer discount" and then added 650+199 for the back up camera, since "they have to show payment for items to be installed" and took off the window tint and delivery since "that is already on the car and they just charge the customer anyways" said the salesman. After fighting that I had to pay it, I finally gave in and bought the car. NO ONE ever talked to me about what camera system I wanted or what THEY decided to install. After bugging them for over a week to schedule the install, I got in two weeks after I bought the car. I dropped the car off and the service lady didn't even know what was being installed. when I picked it up 6hrs later, she took me out and showed me what they installed. She told me that they installed a new rear view mirror and that is where the camera is. She also said that they "normally install them in the dash and rarely see them install in the mirror". And it is a tiny 2x2 screen that I cannot make out anything in the display. I had her to check to see if there is any alarms when anything gets too close and there is no sensors. Then she went back to her office and I started looking over the camera. Feeling that I just got ripped off, I went back in and asked to speak to a manager and she went to the sales floor to get a sales manager. I politely explained my disappointment with what was installed and that I had no say in what was installed that I PAID FOR. His response was that since it was a used car, and didn't have a touch screen system in it already, they couldn't warrantee installing new equipment in the car, if it already had a touch screen then they could have intergraded it in. I told them they installed a new mirror so how is that any different, and the old mirror was already compatible for back up camera, so no justification for a new mirror for the cost. After I told him that no one talked to me about what was getting installed or asked me what I want installed, he said that "there must have been a lack of communication". After getting nowhere with him and just talking in circles, I left and went online and filled out the "contact us" form and wrote everything on here, expecting someone to contact me since is said "we have received your form and will contact you as soon as possible". Waited a full day, NOTHING! So today I called the store and asked to speak with a store manager and was given Steve or Steven from sales. Told him everything above, and told me basically the same as the first manager and that installing camera system that was in the dash replacing the screen would be "$2000 plus the cost of the camera which would be another $800-1000 dollars". I told him I cant use this system because it is too small for me to clearly see any one or thing that may run in my path and I wouldn't be able to stop in time. HE LAUGHED, and said "I strongly disagree with that, I have the same camera on my car and I can see fine." I told him that's great but I have bad vision, and I wear glasses and for me, I cant see clearly what's on the screen so it wont work. AGAIN, he laughed and said "well i'm blind as a bat and I can still see just fine" At that point I lost it!!! I cussed him out, telling him that they ripped me off, and don't care to make the customer happy, just want to make as much profit as they can, said I will NEVER BUY from them again, some more cuss words and hung up!!! Its like going to a restaurant, they pull out your wallet, take out the money they want, and give you what ever food they want and say, that's what you get. I wanted the camera system for 1, it was advertised with one, 2, its a safety issue. I'm not getting it for any "cool" factor! I want to keep my family safe and anyone else that may be in danger of a car backing up, and 3, I'm use to using them since vans have a lot of blind spots. I will NEVER RECOMMEND this place nor use any of their services! I will be contacting the general manager about this, and I hope this place goes out of business! More
