*************ARROGANT RESPONDER — BUYER BEWARE************ Your response may sound polite because this is a PUBLIC review, but it does absolutely NOTHING to address the actual problem. A generic apology is not accountability, and notifying Mazda corporate is not a resolution. BLAMING THE CUSTOMER AND THEIR PHONE IS NOT A DIAGNOSIS! I purchased a 2024 Mazda CX-50 Certified Pre-Owned from Lester Glenn Mazda in Toms River, NJ, and have experienced phone connectivity problems and noise disturbances since DAY ONE. More than 50 days later, these issues remain unresolved. My phone works perfectly in my Mercedes, Kia, and Hyundai, yet Lester Glenn staff and Mazda corporate have repeatedly blamed my phone and suggested I buy a new one. WHO BUYS A VEHICLE AND IS TOLD TO BUY A NEW PHONE TO MAKE IT WORK?! I should not have to spend even more money because you haven't properly identified the problem! And now, ONLY ABOUT 50 DAYS LATER, I'm told I'd have to pay $100 to take my vehicle to another Mazda dealership for a second opinion. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! After all this time, I'm expected to pay extra just to get another dealership to investigate a problem that has existed since the day I purchased the vehicle. YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR MINDS! There are multiple current lawsuits concerning alleged Mazda infotainment defects and connectivity issues. Do I have to site them? Mazda has issued technical service bulletins addressing certain infotainment software issues including some CX-50 vehicles. I believe this is a Mazda connectivity, software, or compatibility issue. If you insist my phone is responsible, PROVIDE THE DIAGNOSTIC EVIDENCE! Stop blaming the customer and investigate the vehicle! STOP BEING LAZY!! My experience with Lester Glenn Mazda and Mazda corporate has been HORRIFIC, DEEPLY CONCERNING. I have been dismissed, disrespected, and spoken down to by sales and service staff. Especially by Kathy in service, whom slammed her hand down on her desk when I went to show her additional disruptions on my phone, as SHE SUGGESTED TO DO! This behavior is apparently acceptable by Lester Glenn Mazda, as Kathy has been employed there for some time. *****Lester Glenn Mazda approves of their employees to disrespect their customers***** It's on video. Your polite public responses do not erase the way my concerns have been handled. Your commercials mean very little when the actual customer experience falls so far short of expectations. My biggest regret is purchasing this vehicle. Had I known how difficult it would be to get answers, I would have reconsidered. And honestly, if I have a serious mechanical issue in the future, will I be blamed for that, too? I WANT ANSWERS, NOT ANOTHER GENERIC APOLOGY! Explain what diagnostic testing has been performed, provide the findings, confirm whether applicable software updates and technical service bulletins have been checked, explain why my phone is being blamed despite working in three other makes of vehicles, and tell me exactly how you intend to resolve this problem. I will continue documenting my experience and pursuing appropriate consumer complaint channels. Other buyers deserve to know about my firsthand experience. CUSTOMERS DESERVE TRANSPARENCY, RESPECT, AND ACCOUNTABILITY—not finger-pointing, excuses, and additional charges just to get answers. Lester Glenn Mazda and Mazda corporate: TAKE RESPONSIBILITY, INVESTIGATE THE ACTUAL CAUSE, AND PROVIDE A REAL SOLUTION! MY ISSUES REMAIN UNRESOLVED.
