Dealership Sales Review

I purchased a car from this dealership end of March 2023. It should be noted that between the car purchased & my writing of this review, the car while in my possession, has gained less than 5k miles; so it's been less than 1 full year & a very minimal amount of driving. In addition, I originate in Westchester so several dealerships to choose from between here & there, yet I chose one, a 3+ hr train ride from my house. December of 2023 my Certified PreOwned vehicle went into the shop to fix the fuel pump & rear differental. I contacted the selling dealership, & the gentlemen that I spoke with informed me that they couldn't assist me but I should contact Customer Service to request a goodwill credit, as the fuel pump wasn't covered under my CPO Warranty. That fix took roughly 3 weeks & cost a little over $2400. I received the car back at the end of December, still sensing that something was off by the way it started, but was assured it was 'normal' by the dealership. By the 2nd week of January, the car needed to go into the shop again because it would not start. I took it back to the dealership I got it fixed, thinking the issues were connected to what they just fixed, but as it turns out, the starter went bad. So the updated fixture was a starter replacement & 2 batteries, totaling $2500. It being January of 2024, the car has already entered the shop for 3 major issues (4 if you include that fact that both batteries needed to be replaced as well). Of course I, again, contact the dealership I purchased the car from to speak to someone about this, which included my sales person Catherine Mercado. She tells me what I already know, which is that the fixture is not covered under my CPO and that IF I were anyone were to help me at the dealership, it would be Anthony Capanelli (I should note that she claimed to not know his last name but his name and photo are posted on the website & he is the Manager of used car sales, which she said is the title of the person I would be looking to speak with). Since January 16th, I have called 9 times, I've been transferred to everyone except a used car manager. I've left several voice messages and at a point was told that I would get a call back from Micheal, a different manager. To date, I have not received not a call back from either of the people I was told would call me back. I even spoke to Paul, a manager in a different department, on two separate occasions; one in which he confirmed Anthony Capanelli would be the person to speak to and other asking him to ask Anthony to call me back. I've even sent Catherine Mercado a text message asking her to ask Anthony, again, to call me back, which received no reply. Oddly enough, when I purchased the car, they were having a promo that reduced the purchasing price for 'loyalty customers' (i.e, if you've purchased from them before) and this seems to be the service they would like people to be loyal to. To have to call on a consistent basis and not even recieve the courtesy of a call back is frustrating. This dealership does not stand behind the products that they sell at all. Even the service department sucks. You make an appointment for an oil change, arrive at your appointment time & you still wait for no less than 3 hours and there is no one to even offer a 'sorry for the wait'. I get that my current car situation is atypical but with the length of time, the miles driven, and the presented issues, I would've thought someone would've had decency to be courteous. All in all, I will 1000% never be back to this dealership and will advise all that I know to steer clear.
