In October 2018, I went to your dealership (planet Ford) located in humble Texas. I purchase (debit card) two vehicles off of the lot. I purchased a Dodge Challenger 2019 (hemi V8 rt), and Chevrolet Tahoe 2007. I was told that the Dodge Challenger since it had less than 50,000 miles had a bumper to bumper coverage still with Dodge. I started having mechanical problems with the Dodge Challenger. I spoke with steward (who sold me the extended warranty) at planet Ford in humble, Texas and was told to take it to texan Dodge. I was told that the vehicle had multiple engine problems and it would require another engine to be put into the car. In December, I picked the car up and had to pay $160 deductible. I lost time from work, and ended up being fired. In December 2018, the vehicle suffered a throttle problem. Again, I had to pay $ $114 deductible after the vehicle was released (after a week). Now, January 2019, I have an oil leak. I went into texan Dodge and spoke to Mrs. Sheffie (after calling her multiple times), and she told me that I might have to pay another deductible and that the car had prior issues when I bought the vehicle. I told her that the vehicle had a new engine that texan Dodge (their dealership) put in and also worked on the faulty throttle in 2018. She told me that she want sure if planet Ford (with the extended warranty) would cover the oil leak. I also found out that a prior claim was put on the vehicle before I purchased the vehicle in October 2018. Not only am I getting the run around, but I know that according to the prior insurance claim that was put on the vehicle that planet Ford was aware of the damages to the vehicle. I also paid 2 times for deductibles and now the vehicle still has an oil leak. Thank you.

The vehicle suddenly started smoking, immediately followed by fire while I was stopped at a red light in the middle of town. My 2013 Dodge Challenger only had 20,000 miles on it, and all service was done as recommended by Dodge, at a certified shop. I reported the issue to Dodge, and they denied any manufacturing defect, despite the fact that there is a recall for my model, because of known issues regarding alternators overheating, or short circuiting, causing thermal diode fatigue. The car was consumed by flames within minutes, and was deemed a total loss by my insurance company. I have not yet received a settlement.

Smart glass draining battery, takata inflator recall, timing chain recall and alternator recall in Dec 2017 my Dodge Challenger 13' ran out of battery & was towed to a repair shop. There were 2 recalls, one being an alternator, causing the battery to drain and not able to be jumped. After 1.5 months of talking to Chrysler fca recalls about how to get the recall work complete, my car arrived at covert Dodge in austin in Jan 2018 (I paid for tow out of pocket). From Dec to Mar 20th, I was without a car and covert /fca would not put me in a rental while waiting on back ordered parts. On Mar 20th, they put me in a rental vehicle. Apr 20th fca called to tell me: 1) all 3 recalls have been addressed 2) the smart glass window module, which is actually what is causing the battery to drain, is still on backorder (eta May 29, but not a firm eta and this part has been on backorder since Jan) but the car can be driven without operable windows, 3) I need to return the rental in 2 days and pick up my car. I stated that it is unsafe to drive a car with inoperable windows (getting pulled over and having to open my door to talk to the police, extremely hot weather in Texas and not being able to open the windows, little kids and car sickness, unable to use drive-through anything, etc). The service manager stated that he can't comment on safety, but the car is drivable. The case manager at fca said that she can only address safety concerns in bulletins from fca. The smart glass window module has been on back order for me since Jan 2018 and no confirmed eta. This part has been recalled on 2012 and 2011 Challenger and multiple other mopar part cars. There is a long list of people waiting for this part (probably 1000S), many due to a recall. In the meantime, I'm expected to use my car without working windows - meaning windows have to be closed and can not open.
