**Worst Experience Ever - EQE 350 4MATIC 2023**
My wife leased an EQE 350 4MATIC 2023, her second car from Mercedes-Benz West Island, and it was the worst experience ever. The sales process was full of relentless pressure—they kept us at the dealership past closing time, were applying pressure and blatantly lied about the car's residual value and electricity consumption.
But that was just the beginning. The car had issues from the start, and eventually, it completely stopped in the middle of the road while she was driving on a boulevard. Concerned for her safety, we brought the car to their service department and discussed it with management. They completely ignored our concerns and even gaslighted us. After a week with little to no communication, we discovered through the MercedesMe app that a mechanic had been driving her car, thinking it was a demo! HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN? We confronted him by going to a location he was with her car and he admitted he had the same problem—the car stopping suddenly in the middle of the road.
When we addressed this with Michael, the assistant manager, he refused to take responsibility & said that the mechanic was ‘’test driving it’’ which is a lie as the mechanic himself told us he thought the car was a demo. A few days later, we met with Gerry, the General Manager, and it was the worst display of management I've ever seen. He screamed at us and offered no help whatsoever. Even now, they don’t know what’s wrong with the car and have deemed it unsafe to drive. Their so-called solution? Pay $50,000 out of pocket, and they’ll finance it on the next car—all for a car that doesn’t work and is a threat to everyone’s safety.
It’s unbelievable that this dealership is allowed to operate without taking responsibility. Our next step is legal action because enough is enough.
