Purchased my BMW from them and initially I was happy once - Hope
Purchased my BMW from them and initially I was happy once I finally got the car….
However, I began to notice that the car was stalling when I started it and tried to drive off. I took it in to get diagnosed and they didn’t find anything wrong with it. For the past year and four months of having the car, I still have this issue. The car continues to idle when I start it and acts as if it wants to cut off from time to time.
I took my car in recently for a routine service appointment. When I scheduled my appointment online 3 weeks ago, I requested a loaner vehicle and I mentioned other areas of the car that I would like them to look at including brakes and tires. I also mentioned again, the consistent issue with the idling/stalling. When I get there, I was notified that they weren’t notified that I needed a loaner car and my additional requests. I pulled up my email and provided proof of my notification which was also written in all caps. The service person informed that they don’t have the ability to see appointment notes so I asked what’s the point of having an area for appointment notes . These are important notes that the customer needs to share. She informed me that the “appointment note” section was useless. The only other options were to find a ride, wait for 3 hours, or reschedule for weeks out. Those options aren’t reasonable and were unexpected. When I shared information about the stalling/idling the service person shared that it’s “likely a programming issue” and would be happy to fix it for an additional $172. They informed me that the problem is a new solution that they came up with recently. However, how can I trust that “programming is the issue” this time after being told that there wasn’t an issue! I inquired about the guaranteed free car wash service however, I was denied that as we’ll because of the temperature. By the time they get to the vehicle, it’ll be over 32 degrees… This is my first vehicle that I have purchased and if this is the luxury vehicle experience… this is terrible. These are things that drive current and potential customers away! I have seriously consider alternative options then with BMW because of this. Companies still fail to realize that it’s the small things that keep customers happy and satisfied. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been my experience here lately…
