Merrick Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram

I was sold a a 2004 Jeep Liberty from Merrick Chrysler that had numerous recalls that were never reviewed by the dealership. I was almost killed on the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn because the wheel fell off that had numerous recalls that were never reviewed by the dealership. I was almost killed on the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn because the wheel fell off my vehicle. I lost control of the Jeep and almost crashed into the guardrail. The wheel was practically hanging off the car and I had to drag the car to the side of the road to not block traffic. There was a recall on my vehicle that was a cause of this incident. In addition, there were other problems with my Jeep that were causes of the wheel breaking off from the car as well. If Merrick Chrysler examined the Jeep thoroughly before selling it, the service center would have noticed these issues. I have a feeling the car was not even inspected once after it arrived to the dealership. The car has been in repair for close to two weeks. Apparently, Merrick Chrysler ILLEGALLY sold me a vehicle. All recalls should have been reviewed before putting the car out on the lot. This was a terrible experience for me and by all means I would NEVER recommend MERRICK CHRYSLER to even my worst enemies. This incident could have costed my life as well as the lives of other drivers. When I called the dealership to complain about this incident, the manager did not even seem concerned. I have already filed a formal complaint with Chrysler about this dealership as well as sent in a complaint to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles. Once again, I was almost killed in the car Merrick Chrysler sold to me. More

Bought my Wrangler in 2009 from them and went back to trade it in per their mailer. Geoffrey quoted me trade-in for 2008 not a 2009. Then Darren showed me the 2009 in the blue book but said that was fo trade it in per their mailer. Geoffrey quoted me trade-in for 2008 not a 2009. Then Darren showed me the 2009 in the blue book but said that was for the 4-speed and he would have to deduct $1,000 for my manual 6-speed until I showed them the trade-in via the Jeep.com website for the 6-speed. Would not honor $1,500 over blue book trade-in and came up with all kinds of "reconditioning" charges. Wranglers in their inventory on their website are not at their advertised price. "One of our other customers didn't want their hardtop so we put it on this vehicle". Next time I buy a Wrangler is when Jeep sell direct over the internet. More

This was a remarkable business transaction from the moment I walked in. The salesmen were incredibly friendly, helpful and talked to me in an extrememly professional manner. This was my first car pur moment I walked in. The salesmen were incredibly friendly, helpful and talked to me in an extrememly professional manner. This was my first car purchase and it couldn't have gone smoother. The dealership was clean and I was invited on a test drive right away. On delivery, Geoff showed me EVERYTHING - from the navigation system to the electric starter all the way to presetting the radio stations. I have recommended Merrick Dodge to everyone at my work and will continue to recommend it, and buy my cars, from there. Thank you, thank you, thank you! More

Great experience! Darren was very helpful getting me the car I wanted and at a very good price. When I told him I was looking to make a purchase he set up a test drive and gave me a great price too. If you car I wanted and at a very good price. When I told him I was looking to make a purchase he set up a test drive and gave me a great price too. If you are looking for a Dodge or any of the cars they sell ask for Darren. More

Called about a new Jeep GC and negotiated with Garry. We agreed on a price and was told he was gonna fax over a credit app. and whatever else was needed to seal the deal. I offered to give him a deposit ove agreed on a price and was told he was gonna fax over a credit app. and whatever else was needed to seal the deal. I offered to give him a deposit over the phone and he didnt want to take it and said not to worry cause the car will still be there. Well, I'm sitting and waiting for the faxed papers to show up and nothing. I call at about 1:45pm asking what happened and he said I was waiting for you and then said he was no longer interested in selling me the Jeep. He said other people would be willing to pay more. This after he practically begged me to agree on the price. This is why people dont want to deal with xxxxxxxx like him and the dealerships they work for. Nothing but lie after lie. I wouldnt take free oxygen from them to live. Dont walk, RUN,far away from this place. More

Ripped off!! Towed my car to them with dead battey. Told them to call me and let me know my options. They called me to tell me I needed a battery and if I didn't pay them $160 for it I would have to pay $11 them to call me and let me know my options. They called me to tell me I needed a battery and if I didn't pay them $160 for it I would have to pay $110 for a diagnostic fee. I explained they never told me this in advance, never told me in advance that my warranty expired 9 days earlier and even though I never signed any paperwork authorizing anything they threatened to hold the car hostage until I pay for the fee. Keith, the service manager is a joke and could not be more unprofessional. Based on other reviews I have read, these things happen all the time at this dealership. Avoid at all costs. More

Bought a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500, 5 hours after taken it home it wouldn't start, then all the oil leaked out, the braked are completetly worn (need everything front and back), the tires are bald and the passenge it wouldn't start, then all the oil leaked out, the braked are completetly worn (need everything front and back), the tires are bald and the passenger morror fell off on the 495 because it was rigged on. The dealership will not return my calls and will not fix any issue after the oil leak, they will not show me invoices on all work done on this truck and prove to me that there was a 360 degree inspection on the truck when I purchased it. They also lied to the bank for finance approval and I almost lost the truck. More

The people I dealt with here were very accommodating. I am very pleased I chose this dealership. I had been looking around and I came here looking for a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Other dealerships I had been to am very pleased I chose this dealership. I had been looking around and I came here looking for a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Other dealerships I had been to treated me like they had no time for me. My Salesman was very professional and made me feel like I was in the right place. I didn't feel pressured which is also how I had felt at other dealerships. I would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone who is looking for a new vehicle. I will be back when it's time for my next car. More

Here Is the Dealership updated Name and address: Here Is the Dealership updated Name and address: Merrick Dodge Chrysler Jeep 3614 Sunrise Highway Wantagh, NY 11793 My advice is to be caref Here Is the Dealership updated Name and address: Merrick Dodge Chrysler Jeep 3614 Sunrise Highway Wantagh, NY 11793 My advice is to be careful if you decide to buy from this Dealership. There are many other reputable Chrysler Dealers that you can work with. I had an awful buying experience. It actually started out good. Entered into contract for vehicle with Employee Pricing Plus before the Chrysler Bankruptcy. They kept me regularly updated about things. Then, in July I was told that the order was cancelled as a 2009 and would be rolled over as a 2010. Dealer said the original contract will not be honored and gave me deposit back. They put the blame on the Corporate side of the company for the Deal not being honored. This was not true as I found out later! When they told me the deal would not be honored, they made no effort whatsoever to renegotiate or keep my business. After this, I learned from a Customer Service Representative at Chrysler's Incentives hotline, Chrysler will honor the pre-bankruptcy deals on orders rolled over as 2010s. Since my Vehicle Order Number was still active in their system with my name on it and it showed the Date of the order, Employee Pricing was available to be honored. Customer Service also said that GMAC is now the Chrysler lender and they would honor both the 0% financing and $1000 Cash Back. The Dealer would just need to call them and prove that a buyer was eligible at the time of the original contract and that their credit rating is still good enough to be eligible. My order even came in with my name on the Sticker! If it was cancelled why does the Sticker have my name on it? Merrick Dodge CHOSE not to honor the original deal and made me believe it was the Corporate side of Chrysler that made this decision. Being a member of several internet forums I learned that there are several good Dealerships that did honor the pre-bankruptcy Employee Pricing Plus Deals. One in particular is Herbee Dodge of West Islip. It is too bad I did not go there originally. After initially getting my deposit back, Merrick made no effort whatsoever to try to keep my business as stated above. Weeks went by and I did not hear from them. I later learned that the model options had changed for 2010 and I now could get a lower optioned vehicle that would meet my needs and was in my price range that I could afford. Stupidly, in retrospect, I went first back to Merrick Dodge to see if I could get a fair price. I dealt with a different salesman on a Saturday, do not remember his name and asked for his best price and he quoted me the MSRP price. I said, “that is MSRP, can’t you do better than that?” He stated that they make no money on this vehicle, would not budge off MSRP, and asked me if I know how much they make. I left right after that. And actually I do know how much they make. As an aside for anyone reading this there is a website Truecar.com that gives Factory Invoice, MSRP, and REAL INVOICE prices for all makes and models of vehicles. I ended up going to another Dealer the following Monday and getting a deal I could live with. Two days later I get a call from my original salesman at Merrick saying they don't want to lose me as a customer. What a joke! Now after all the BS they put me through they want to consider making me a better deal. They still made no effort whatsoever to honor the original deal which would have been the RIGHT thing to do, and they KNOW they could do this. I am ok with the deal made at the other Dealership and let them know I made another deal. Their response was to disparage this other Dealership. Like the pot calling the kettle black. Unbelievable! So in addition to losing me as a New Vehicle customer forever, they lose my warranty work, aftermarket work, and any maintenance work for this vehicle. I will also STRONGLY NOT RECOMMEND this Dealer, to family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers. They treat out of State customers better than a local person who would give them after sale work. I will never do business with them again and who would blame me? I would highly recommend Herbee Dodge as they honored their Employee Pricing Deals. Here is a response of a customer of Herbee’s about my situation and his experience, “I picked up the car & got epp/$1k rebate/0% for 48, just like my contract stated...all good ….since chrysler came out with a "policy" to honor the deals, dealers really had no reason(or excuse) to not honor the whole deal(epp/$1k/0%).. sounds like your dealer was either "stupid" or "dishonest" or both!!....which sucks.” I believe they are just plain dishonest! And strongly recommend that you go to a different Dealer. More

I have a vehicle that was purchased for use by the disabled. The service department refused to make the needed warranty repairs on my air conditioning system. For someone who is in need of their vehic disabled. The service department refused to make the needed warranty repairs on my air conditioning system. For someone who is in need of their vehicle for special reasons, you would think that a dealer would bend over backwards to help someone like that. Aparently money is more important than customer service for this dealership. More
