service personnel are ether just unprofessional or over

service personnel are ether just unprofessional or over worked and auto repair is the worst/ we have a vehicle since bought new with an issue. years later still not repaired, we received our vehicle back after having c/v shaft put in, only to find out it was damaged and need to be replaced, dropped vehicle off for that repair and a new power transfer unit. three weeks later we got our vehicle back, issue was still there, and it pulls to the right and had new vibration, lucky I own a lift put it up and was shocked, oil was everywhere, power transfer unit looks cracked, covered in oil, rear catalyst converter has had the support brace cut off which also is a vibration dampener to protect the exhaust manifold! prey bar marks all over that area. vehicle has an exhaust leak too, no new gaskets on exhaust and non-factory bolts used, rear drive shaft is damaged throwing grease under vehicle and on the exhaust system! we called to talk to owner or at least someone in charge, we were put in contact with mike Wilkerson going on vacation, so he sent us to William Crafton, he did call us and left message we returned his call left message for him to reach out to us, days later no contact has been made nor has the dealer reached out, they just do not care!I will file more complaints and contact different dealer to see what can be done this vehicle is still under warrantee! It will not go back to that repair shop!

Please don’t hesitate to contact our service director, Bill, directly so we can move forward together.

Consumer response

we received two phone calls, just two. I sent mike a message to his cell phone number which he gave to us in his message. Stellantis is supposed to be dealing with this, complaint number 93273856. we do not understand how after receiving the photos as evidence it only garnered two follow up calls which we returned only for them to go to voice mail which we requested a return call! none came! We have parked this vehicle you can smell the oil burning off when driven, vibration and pulling right, never did this before. rear drive shaft has hammer mark damage and it is spilling grease out. rear catalyst converter is destroyed, ( $1,000.00) , PTU not only shows damage and covered in oil it appears to have a crack which is in the photos. To make it even worse after checking repair invoice not even done correctly, list wrong repair, wrong milage? WE cleaned the vehicle after you had it three weeks, you could not even wash it? My wife liked this vehicle, and sales did her good, but after the sales ruined that, she wants this vehicle gone so as soon as the repairs are made its gone, she will not drive it anymore she does not trust it nor trust your repair facility! We were left with no other option after nobody seemed to care about the damage done, so we went out looking for help!

Consumer response

typo- after voice mail messages were left, we never received any call back. we would love to resolve this matter but the repair facility we do not trust. we both will be off 6/19/2025. we were going to take to different dealer if that is what it takes !

I can't say enough about the amazing

I can't say enough about the amazing experience—especially thanks to my sales consultant, Garin Thornton. From the very start, Garin met me exactly where I was. He understood my needs, respected my budget, and guided me with realistic expectations, making the entire process easy and stress-free. Garin’s honesty, professionalism, and genuine care made a lasting impression. He explained everything clearly, stayed patient with my questions, and followed up after the sale to ensure I was fully satisfied. It felt like more than just buying a car—it felt like someone truly had my back. The entire team at Friendly Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram has been just as outstanding. Every interaction, from purchase to service, has been timely, kind, and supportive. when finances are tight and time is limited, having a place like this to rely on is invaluable.

Absolutely without a doubt the single worst dealership I

Absolutely without a doubt the single worst dealership I have ever dealt with. My wife leased a 2024 wrangler and had it 4 days! It died in the parking lot at work $200 tow to the othe side of town. That was Feb. 15th, still no jeep. Replaced major electrical components several times with no solution in sight. Told jeep just take it back & get her another one. They refuse to replace or refund the purchase. “It’s Jeeps problem contact them” is the only response I’ve gotten from Friendly.

Dealer response

We’re truly sorry to hear about the ongoing issues with your wife’s vehicle and understand how incredibly frustrating this situation has been. While we did our best to assist within the limits of the manufacturer’s warranty process, we understand that the experience hasn’t met your expectations. It’s important to note that when it comes to manufacturer buybacks or warranty resolutions, dealerships must follow specific procedures set by the manufacturer—in this case, Jeep. We are not able to unilaterally refund or replace a vehicle without following that process, but we did try to offer alternative solutions, including a trade-in option, in hopes of finding a quicker path forward. We regret that our efforts to help were not what you were hoping for, and we remain open to working with you to explore any remaining options. If you’d like to continue the conversation or revisit possible solutions, we welcome the opportunity to assist further. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we’re here to help however we can within the framework we’re given.

Neil is a great salesman.

Neil is a great salesman. I always go to him when I buy a new car. He just sold my son a truck and he just had good things to say about Neil he said he was in and out and they did not play around like other salesman would.

I have tried 2 times to get an oil change with the oil

I have tried 2 times to get an oil change with the oil change package I bought with my new Jeep. Both times I was told 2weeks. Sales department is great but service is terrible. That is a reason I will not buy another car from them. The only problem is I am out the money I spent on the oil package. I guess I will live and learn. Hope this helps someone to not make the same mistake I made. Very disappointed.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're truly sorry to hear about the difficulty you've had scheduling an oil change and that this has left you feeling disappointed. While we're glad you had a positive experience with our sales team, it's clear we fell short on the service side, and we understand how frustrating that can be—especially after purchasing a service package with your vehicle. We never want a customer to feel let down after their purchase, and we would appreciate the opportunity to make this right. Please feel free to contact our service manager directly so we can review your situation and do what we can to address your concerns. Your feedback is important and helps us improve. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.
