Dealerships should be legally obligated to warn customers when these shortages exist so new customers know what they are getting themselves into or else its almost criminal
I know right. Im paying 350 plus 120 insurance.....but man 800 plus insurance 😢. He didn't seem truly saddened by that, he must be making over 100k annually so 800 payment is no biggie for him!
My Lexus last year sat at the dealership repair shop from the beginning of August to mid October. Rear window was on back order. My insurance covered 1 month of a rental. I asked the dealership for a loaner and they offered to compt me 13 days worth of a rental. The rest of the time, it came out of my pocket. They were also nice enough to give me a discounted daily rate. I had no idea the rental car prices had skyrocketed. A compact car which almost everywhere started at $19.99, was now $100 a day.
Have them verify which parts, then ask for the inventory shipping records from the Honda Parts Distribution Center located at 4525 W Royal Ln, Irving, TX 75063, one of 12 in the US. I mean... we ship 19 trucks a day, 5 days a week all over TX,OK,AR,CO and LA.
This is why i removed extended warranty from my used vehicle, if something breaks ill find part quicker in salvage yard from a wrecked one and i can get job done quicker. Something to think about instead of wasting over 3k for extended warranty now
I can relate to this man’s pain. Hence I will never ever go to a dealership for repairs and service. It happened to my vehicle in June of 2021. My vehicles catalytic converter was going bad, oil consumption and bad engine performance. Repairs cost me 4000 and I gave it to dealership in June and I didn’t get it back until September. And worst part of it was the dealership kept giving me excuses about the parts not being delivered on Time, they didn’t even have a loaner vehicle. Very frustrating I was at my wits end. In the end I ended up selling the vehicle on Facebook for 4200. I will never deal with these people again my biggest mistake was trusting them I feel your pain sir.
As soon as I heard the word Dealership said I knew why there was a problem. I was warned to never use any car Dealership over 40 years ago. They overcharge for both parts and repairs. Best to buy parts at Napa and a have a decent mechanic.
My friend was in a relatively minor accident, there wasn’t really that much damage except the airbags did deploy. Her insurance company totaled the car because they couldn’t get replaced airbags. It was a 2018 Chevy equinox with with 25,000 miles.
David McDavid acura was the first acura dealership in the USA. I had a Buick Grand National, went through the same thing with state farm . Was making payments on a GN while driving a stanza the insurance provided while my car sat at the buick dealership on plano parkway. The rear axle was on intergalactic back order .looks like it's worse now
My daughter has the same problem FOR HER 2023 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE MAYBE IF PEOPLE QUIT BUYING NEW CARS THE AUTOMAKERS WILL HAVE TIME TO CATCH UP ON VEHICLE THAT ARE NEEDING PARTS OR JUST DON'T MAKE THE PAYMENTS THAT WILL PISS OFF THE BANKER THEN I BET THEY WILL START MAKING EXTRA PARTS
Wonder what the laws are in Texas regarding constructive total losses. Let’s say his car was $50K. If the repairs were $30K and the salvage value was $25K, Progressive would lose $5K fixing the car. Just write it off!
id just stop paying save my money and buy a cash car take a credit hit and keep it moving thats their problem they dont have parts to fix it but they sure want their money should have gotten that gap insurance too
My 2020 Civic Si has been sitting in a body shop for 8 months now because Honda wont release the radar sensor I need. Now my collision center is telling me that the “expected date” is middle of February. Honda is garbage when it comes to part availability now. Heard another story of an Acura that needs to wait 3 months for PAINT! I’ve been having to eat all the payments not only for my car, but also for my insurance for a vehicle that hasn’t touched pavement for almost a year. Unbelievable.
I have no idea how this guy went 8 months and made $8k worth of payments without his car. Dallas is huge and people depend on personal vehicles more than public transit. I bought my truck new in Jan with 18 miles on the odometer and here we are in September and I’m already at 22k miles. I’d sue the pants off Acura too!
I had a feeling in the past few weeks that new car parts were not plentiful. But I had no idea it was that bad, and they have a stack up of cars. . But I did think this week it is good that I have a mainstream car. A 2005 Acura TL with a widely used 3.2L motor and it has had plenty of time to hit the aftermarket for parts and modifications. I think I will be keeping my car for a while since prices are crazy high.
Additional moral of the story , is don't swerve to avoid an accident. Let them hit you. If you hit someone else it's on you and they get away Scott free. Invest in a dash camera 📸.
that is ridiculous. something has to be done. good I pray you win y our lawsuit. this is not a consumer problem, this falls back to the manufacturer and they need to resolve it quickly.... Prays for you
Volkswagen is doing the same thing, no ETA on a new engine and turbo for my 2016 GTi Golf S 2.0 thats covered under warranty. Not sure what to expect here because theres not much conversation out there regarding VW
@@eleanormassaro5195 I'm not sure the insurance company for the car he hit is gonna feel that way..even if he is found not at fault its not hondas fault either and neither are the supply chain issues everyone is being inconvenienced by
This country LOVES to blame someone else. It's not like he is unique. Anyone who has survived the past 2+ years understands NOW what a shortage is and what it means.
This happened with my brother and his Ford Mustang. Sat at the dealership for six months, eventually had to tow it out of there. Track the parts down online and hire a third-party.
its now june of 2023, and we are STILL in this shitshow. im coming up on a month with no eta on parts to fix my nissan. it's so frustrating... ***UPDATE** my car is done, took 84 days.
I would understand more if it was from a brand like Mazda that the majority of their vehicles are made in Japan, but Acuras are designed engineered and built in America. So what's the hold up?
Annnnddddd this is why car jacking has risen. People steal the cars and sell off the parts to car dealerships and mechanics. I mean there's nothing new but it was not always this bad.
They're so quick to report any missed or late payments, to impact your credict so they know we have to keep those payments paid if we don't want blemishes on our credit. All vehicles should have insurance on them, period! When buying from a dealership, the contractual agreement binds you to keeping full coverage insurance on the vehicle for the entire time of the loan. We set our insurance to be taken out like the car payment we don't see it; so we don't miss it. All together for the truck note and insurance we are out of over $870 per month for the last 6 months with no resolution in sight. They only recently assigned us a Customer Experience Agent who's supposed to "make our experience run smoother during this process and keep us informed about dates of expected parts or if something changes on our case". The case worker doesn't want to talk about the reimbursement of our 6 months worth of payments which they've had it longer but 6 will be good +reimbursement for my insurance payments on my vehicle that they wouldn't even allow us to suspend for the time being until the issue was resolved, I was really upset. To add insult to injury they lost the Ford F150 Key that the tow truck dropped in the night box on weekends or after-hours when they're closed. The dealership says they never got a key, spoke with management he tried to tell me there was no after hour services or no drop box the tow truck driver basically lying.🤔🤔 I called my husband because he's out of town working in that area to help get a sister plant more structured and make things better. I called and asked him about the layout of the car lot and the location of the Dropbox. My husband informed me there's a sign with a number for the tow truck drivers to call after hours for someone to open the gate if they need to bring a vehicle in. I called management back immediately the next morning and before I could say anything he was apologizing for what he had told me but I still provided him a run down of what I knew, he acknowledged the ladies at the front desk did forget to check the Dropbox that day. He was supposed to get back with me after he checked the drop box and looked for the key, but he never did. I eventually spoke with the service manager that following day b/c the other manager was now on "vacation", and the service manager proceeds to tell me that everything that the other manager had been being completely dishonest and not being truthful about placement of people's vehicles and where they are in line to be fixed. I said "so let me get this straight you're saying your co-worker the other manager I spoke with on Thursday and Friday has been pretty much lying to me and giving me the run around this entire time"? He further informs me they don't have my main key to the F150 that was dropped in the dropped box when the tow truck delivered the vehicle to the lot. The 2 ladies at the front desk never once checked the Dropbox, the service manager confirmed. The dealership previously had denied replacing our main key to the truck, they agreed at cost of a new key. Of course, I refused in my best professional southern country accent ever; letting them know they will be replacing my key by choice or through my legal representation if this is where they want to take it to. They don't get to treat people any type of way we're trying to live just like they are.
Its almost as if you've won a gold medal in the mental Olympics. There are so many factors in supply chain shortages, yet with your love of fascism you've decided to ignore all of them and blame a political party.
Most of the parts are made in Asian countries except the engine and transmission. If anything the Republicans are making importing these goods harder, so you can blame them. Just look at Trump's trade war with China causing supply issues back when he was president. He even tried to impose auto tariffs on vehicles made outside of the US. Good thing he was voted out before it could go into act otherwise we would be in a deeper hole we're already in.
I feel sorry for his situation but does he think he is unique here? I cannot understand why all of a sudden the consumer thinks everyone else owes them so much in a situation like this? What can you do? They have no parts. We have become so accustomed to having what we want when we want that no one has even thought about "Well, what happens when you don't have it and get told "no"?
But they sure charged you a bigger price you paid like a fool now you feel like a fool stealership got you paying 4times over price and you thought you were set above everyone, how is that parked vehicle doing hope you didn’t finance it?
Dealerships should be legally obligated to warn customers when these shortages exist so new customers know what they are getting themselves into or else its almost criminal
They do which is why they have crazy mark ups
We need a protection law for this!
i agree 100 precent, no excuse for this...
