      On 9/25/24 we brought our Honda crv to Union Park Honda in Wilmington DE for diagnosis on an issue. Their technician performed a low pressure fuel pump recall and high pressure fuel pump. They stated that the trouble code from the vehicle(P0087) was why the high pressure pump was replaced. The issue is that the recall also releases that code so we didn’t pay due to it sounding like a misdiagnosis. I’ve offered to pay for the fix then pay to have the old pump installed and they dodged it and said no, even though the labor and parts would be payed for regardless.

      The customer who approved the work and brought the vehicle to Union Park Honda is not Mr. **************, but his mother, **** ****** 

      When we diagnosed the issue with the vehicle (multiple dashboard warnings and inability to exceed 30 mph easily) we found a low pressure issue within the fuel system.  We then examined both the high and low pressure pumps and searched for leaks to isolate the issue. 

      During our diagnostic process, we determined that the high pressure pump had failed due to the sensor readings.  We also isolated the low pressure pump to check its performance in isolation and found that it is performing correctly.  We also did not find any leaks in the system. Due to the lack of leaks and the fact that the low pressure pump is performing normally, we diagnosed that the high pressure fuel pump has caused the issue with lack of pressure in the fuel system. 

      The low pressure pump recall that we completed would not have resolved the issue, because the low pressure pump operated normally (it is normal for a recall to address a part or system even if the system is working properly as the recall is designed to avoid an issue developing (just as an airbag recall may replace hundreds of thousands of airbags even though only a few airbags have actually failed). 

      **** ***** approved our work to replace the high pressure pump.  

      Mr. ************** has asked that we reinstall the original high pressure pump to confirm that is does not work and was the cause of the issue after we completed the low pressure pump recall.  We declined to complete this work and explained to both Mr. and Ms. ***** how we reached our diagnosis of the issue.  There is no reason to believet that the low pressure pump subject to recall was the cause of the current issue with the vehicle.  Again, we note that recalls are designed to replace parts before an issue arises whenever possible so it is not unusual that the low pressure pump was operating normally at the time that the high pressure pump failed and caused the issue with the vehicle.

      I dropped my BMW 335i off at Union Park BMW Service on 0700L 16Sep24 for a clunking/banging noise in the rear. Was assigned a Mr. ********* as my representative. A few hours later he called and stated the issue was a right wheel bearing, but they would also be replacing the hub. I asked why? He stated that’s just how they did it. And it would ready tomorrow. Tomorrow comes, no word from Union BMW. So, I called them, could not reach anyone only answering machine/s. Eventually received a call back late afternoon. Not all the parts had come in. Quite a bit transpired between Day 1 and Day 7 but too many words to fit in allowed space. Day 7 now, initially quoted as approximately a 5-hour job. Late afternoon (@1530L) Mr. ********* calls your car is ready. Arrived @1630L, service department is nearly a ghost town. Finally saw a representative at the other end and spoke with her. Stated she wasn’t my assigned representative so she couldn’t speak to the issue. Fortunately, the manager Mr. ******* was, he stated they resolved the issue by reinstalling my original old hub. Pay the bill, waited outside for over 15 minutes for the valet to bring my car around. Start the car and immediately a brake fluid warning display. Just happy to finally have my car back I’ll worry about it later. Begin to drive out of the parking lot and notice the steering is canted to left as the vehicle is moving forward in a straight line. Just to be sure, I drive a couple blocks to check and return to Union BMW Service. Now the manager is gone and basically the only few people left is the representative I just dealt with. She stated everyone was gone for the day, nothing she could do except take the car back in. Day 8, have been emailed and texted that the faulty aligned that Union BMW Service did would be taken care, first thing. It’s now afternoon and guess what, no updates and no car.

      Union Park BMW presented 2024 BMW I4 in new condition with only 3600 miles stating prior owner wanted a faster vehicle but after I took it for Maryland State inspection and the car got a brake malfunction alarm the 1st day of owning it the inspection station showed me where multiple parts were replaced on the vehicle and was most likely in an accident I took the pictures provided showing those newer replacement parts and the other showing the tires were not star rated indicating they were also replaced and not OEM run flats. The car was then towed back to Union Park for further repair. Several days later after voicing my concerns the Service manager Mr.******* advised me the car was in an accident and Union Park had made the repairs when the prior owner traded the car in. Which confirms Union Park mainly the Sales Manager *** ****** knowingly withheld information and commited text book fraud, ie. an act of deceiving or misrepresenting, intentional perversion of truth in order to induce another to part with something of value. In order to complete this purchase I had to sell vehicle with nothing wrong i wanted to merely upgrade and instead i was stuck with no vehicle because of this. And in turn was forced to purchase a different vehicle which i wouldn't have in different circumstances to replace it.

      We apologize for the issue that Mr. ******** encountered with the pre-owned BMW that he purchased from our dealership.   The sales department was not aware of the prior repairs to the vehicle due to a lack of communication during the vehicle's reconditioning process.  

      Union Park BMW offered to repair the vehicle at no cost to Mr. ******** or to repurchase the vehicle from Mr. ******** with a full refund to Mr. ********.   Mr. ******** chose to receive a refund of the full amount that was paid. 

      We agree that the issue with the vehicle should not have occurred and thus refunded Mr. ********'s payment. 

      Given the options that we presented to Mr. ********, we do not believe that we are responsible for further payment.

      They intentionally misrepresented the vehicle which they repaired at Union Park BMW submitted false information to carfax and misled me about reason the prior owner traded it in and tires which came on the vehicle as soon as i suggested something was wrong they  implied i must have hit something also they did not offer a refund or to fix the vehicle for free i immediately demanded one due to Union Parks repeated lack of truthfulness me having to do my own investigation which took 1 day the fact they claim ignorance is appalling. I was left without a vehicle which i had only bought because it was the one i liked after this i was forced to buy a different one which i would not have in any other situation. This is a stereotypical used car experience you would get at some second rate  no named small dealership not a BMW dealership and the BBB should now consider them as such.

      My wife and I bought a car from Union Park Volvo, it had a few minor scratches, but all-in-all seemed to be an awesome car. We told them that we would pay the sticker price if they fixed the scratches and they agreed. During the sale, my wife made them put everything in writing and they promised to fix everything as discussed and itemized. First lie: they told us that they would have everything complete before we picked up the car, upon pickup, nothing had been completed. After my wife had to make multiple calls and arrange everything herself (like she was the admin for Volvo) we dropped off the car and was told that they’d make good on their promise. Within the next few days we called them to ask about the progress on the vehicle, to which they responded with “we don’t have your car” This caused major concern and make my wife and I freak out… we have the Volvo app and traced the car to their body shop ( having had to drive 20-30 mins out of our way on the weekend to find our missing car. We then informed Volvo where the car was and that they actually had possession of our vehicle as we had originally stated. They apologized and said that they’d get the work done as quickly as possible. Well, we got a call and they said come pick up the car… At first glance it looked light they fixed the large scratch and everything seemed to be okay… until we drove the car and it sounded like the passenger side door was going to fall off. Then the next morning I inspected the car in the sunlight and saw that the paint didn’t match, the door panel wasn’t even clipped in (put back together properly) and now the car was leaking water into the from passenger side. In addition the passenger pillar between the front and back seat had a dent and a scratch. My wife and I decided to never go back to that scam-centric-Volvo location and to go to a more reputable dealership. We went to Stillman (amazing people + willing to help) but they told me that corporate wouldn’t allow them to fix it

I received a phone call from Union Park's finance person who helped us with the vehicle. He said that his boss *** is now more involved in the daily business operations as he was previously mostly managing the Union Park location from the back seat, just delegating everything to his team. We ask for *** to call us back or respond to any of our calls or e-mails and was told: "maybe he can call you"... The next time the finance guy called me, he told me that *** would not be calling and that we would only be dealing with him. He said that they would like to fix the car and that the soonest they could schedule us in is towards the end of September. So nothing has been fixed as of yet, the car still leaks water, the door needs to be fixed, additional scratches and dents from last encounter with Union Park need to be fixed, the wheel well and body panelling from the last encounter also needs to be reassembled correctly, not to mention all the other stuff they promised to fix before delivering the vehicle...

      We had problems with our car and scheduled an appointment with BMW Union Park on 03/13/24. We had work done and was advised that the 4 tires (Multi Point Inspection) should be immediately replaced. ********* **** provided a price comparison for the (RUNFLAT) tires that were the baseline tire for my make/model and year vehicle. We scheduled another appointment 04/05/24 to have a previous repair steering issue to be re-adjusted. On the 04/05/24 appointment, we also scheduled to have the 4 (Runflat) tires replaced based on previous recommendations from BMW Union Park. On 06/03/24 I was able to get an appointment for a flat tire that looked different than a RUNFLAT tires looks like when the tire is deflated. I had concerns that riding on the deflated tire would damage the rim, so I decided to put enough air in the tire to ride to BMW Union Park for repair. After BMW Union Park looked at the tire to assess the damage, thats when we found out that non RUNFLAT tires were installed on my vehicle. ********* **** realized the mistake and assured that she was going to correct their mistake. As of this request 06/06/24, I have not heard from ********* **** or anyone from BMW Union Park as to how they plan to resolve their mistake. We do hold BMW Union Park for this gross mistake and we are requesting that the current tires on my vehicle and cost associated with it be replaced with the appropriate RUNFLAT tires as required.

      I purchased tires and wheels protection for my BMW X3 M40i in 2022. According to the terms of the tires and wheels protection, it is cancellable and I canceled it through email on 01/05/2023. On 01/06/2023, I received a confirmation email from Safe Guard Products International, LLC informing me that the cancellation was successful and completed on their end. The email also mentioned allowing the selling dealership (Union Park BMW) approximately 3-4 weeks to issue my refund to my Financial Institution. However, I have waited more than half a year and still have not received my refund. I have contacted the Finance Manager ****** ***** multiple times through phone calls and emails. However, he keeps telling me that he is investigating and waiting for an answer. My demand is to get my refund of $1885.53 and apply it to my BWM Financial Service account. In addition, I would like to receive an official apology from Union Park BMW since working back and forth on this issue cost me a lot of time.

      My 2023 Honda Hr-v was involved in a small fender bender. The estimated repair time according to my insurance adjuster and Union park collision was less than 2 weeks. After 2 weeks passed I was informed the parts still have not arrived and I patiently waited another 2 weeks. I tried reaching out multiple times for my vehicle progress and was unsuccessful. Finally, I was informed the parts are on back order. I ask for a loaner because I cannot afford renting vehicles to get to work and school. A month ago I received a Chevy Malibu which was very filthy, but I needed a car to get around so I did not complain. I’ve been in the loaner car for a month, and it needed an oil change because oil life was less than 2%, the car drive forward when I put in reverse and a check engine light is on. This past two weeks I left multiple messages to the collision center manager with no response. This level of unprofessionalism is very concerning, I don’t even know what’s wrong with my car and I feel very unsafe driving this loaner car. If my vehicle is not ready, I just want a loaner car that equal the level of my current vehicle. If not I want my vehicle to be transfer to a different Honda collision center.

      I apologize that the customer is unhappy.  Unfortunately one of the parts that he damaged in his accident is on national backorder through the manufacturer American Honda.  American Honda has been unable to provide us with the necessary part to complete the customer's vehicle.  Although we are not required to provide substitute transportation for items that are completely out of our control, we have provided the customer with a no charge replacement vehicle at our expense since his insurance will no longer cover a rental car.  Union Park is unable to complete repairs until the manufacturer is able to provide the necessary parts.  The customer real concern is with the manufacturer, not the dealership.  We will install the new part ASAP after it arrives.  Again, we apologize for the delay but it is out of our hands.

      Mr. **** is a good customer of Union Park. We believe his complaint should have been directed to GEICO Insurance company and/or Santander Consumer USA due to the following set of circumstances.

      Mr. **** did purchase a 2018 Kia from Union Park on 11/17/2022 and Union Park secured financing in the amount of $21,732.66 through Santander Consumer USA. Based on information provided by Mr. **** (see attached total loss letter), the Kia was involved in some sort of crash/accident on 12/3/2022. As a result, the Kia was deemed a total loss by GEICO, and if rental car coverage existed on his policy, GEICO should have paid for a rental car for Mr. **** during the time he was out of a vehicle. From the total loss letter, it appears that GEICO settled the open loan on the KIA on 12/18/2022 in the amount of $22,347.00. On 12/26/2022, Mr. **** bought a replacement vehicle for the KIA from Union Park and Union Park secured financing for this (the second) vehicle through GM Financial who required proof that the Santander Loan was settled ( attached total loss letter).

      Mr. **** states that Santander is still billing him for the loan on the KIA. If this is the case, his issue is with Santander Consumer USA and he should contact them immediately. 

      Union Park cannot resolve the issues Mr. **** is experiencing because, as the "seller", we are a harmless nonparticipant when it comes to the terms of rental coverage in GEICO's insurance agreement and Santander Consumer USA's billing protocols.

      Thank you for the opportunity to respond.
