Business ProfileforLanders McLarty Chevrolet

I purchased a 2021 Dodge Durango, and within the first three months, the engine failed, leaving me stranded. After spending $800 on other parts, I learned the engine needed replacement. Fortunately, the *** was covered under an extended warranty, and Dodge replaced the engine. I repeatedly asked why the engine failed but only received vague answers like "maybe the previous owner drove it hard." Fast forward a year and a month later, after moving to ******, **, the engine failed again. I paid $428 for a new battery, $100 to be towed across the street to have a diagnostic done, which led to a new engine recommendation. I had to pay another $200 to have it towed to a dealership in Ft. ******, **, only to be told the warranty was denied because the catalytic converter was the root cause of the failure. Now I need to replace the engine and catalytic converter, likely because the initial engine was installed with a faulty converter. The first engine failed at ****** miles, and now, at ******* miles, I face the same issue. On the original motor, there was residue under the radiator cap, indicating someone used an engine block sealer, further evidence this vehicle was a lemon. Additionally, poor headlight installation caused a $1,200 light to fail due to moisture. As a diabetic & disabled combat veteran, Im missing appointments, running out of medication, and struggling to care for my family. This company seems to only care about money, not customers. Now, I owe $30,000 for a vehicle Ive had for 20 months but could only drive for 16. Its heartbreaking that this was the only vehicle I was told I qualified fora lemon. This is not good business.
