I had a great experience with the sales staff, but unfortunately, I’ve continued to run into issues with the service department. Within a day of purchasing the vehicle, I noticed a strong burning sme unfortunately, I’ve continued to run into issues with the service department. Within a day of purchasing the vehicle, I noticed a strong burning smell—like rubber, plastic, or wiring—after driving it. In addition, the lane assist system felt unsafe, causing the car to sway back and forth rather than maintain a stable position in the lane. I was advised by CarMax corporate to bring the vehicle in immediately. When I took it to the service department, I was told they could inspect it in two days. At that time, I was also told the lane assist behavior was somewhat expected, even being compared to bouncing between lane lines like a game of Pong, though they agreed to take a closer look. The service team later told me the vehicle would need to be sent to a dealership due to a recall related to the lane assist system, which would delay things further. However, after about a week and a half, the dealership determined there was no recall. Instead, the issues were attributed to worn rear tires (which had reportedly passed CarMax’s inspection standards), alignment problems, and the need for recalibration. During this time, I was provided a loaner vehicle, but it lacked rear AC vents, which made it uncomfortable for my family in 90+ degree weather and added to the overall inconvenience. While I appreciated the professionalism of the sales team, the service experience has been frustrating and inconsistent so far. I’m hopeful for a smoother resolution moving forward. More
