BUYER BEWARE: Unfair Warranty Practices at Vernon Toyota ⚠️
I want to share a incredibly frustrating experience my mom, Liz, just had with this dealership to warn others before they buy a used vehicle here.
At the end of April, she purchased a used Toyota RAV4, feeling safe and assured by their 3-month/3,000 km warranty.
Unfortunately, after driving it for just one week, the vehicle started making a loud vibration noise. She thought it sas probably something minor however she called the dealership to get it looked at, but they told her they couldn't fit her in for an inspection for several weeks.
When they finally took the vehicle in, they diagnosed a faulty torque converter—a massive $5,000 repair (why was this not caught before selling ?)
To make matters worse, the dealership is now refusing to cover the cost under warranty because she is 500 km over the mileage limit. She was well within the mileage limit when she first reported the issue, but because of their scheduling delays, they are wiping their hands of it.
After already spending thousands of dollars on a used SUV, she is now on the hook for a $5,000 bill. It is crystal clear that this dealership only cares about you until they get your money.
Please think twice before buying a used vehicle here. They do not stand behind their warranties or their customers!
