Sunset Volkswagen responded

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you had a positive sales experience, but we’re sorry to hear about your concerns regarding the brakes. During our inspection, we replaced the front brakes due to wear, and the rear brake pads measured 5mm, which is within an acceptable range. Brake replacement is typically recommended as the pads approach 3mm. We understand your concerns and take vehicle safety seriously. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify our inspection findings and wish you the best with your Genesis.

I respectfully disagree with your response. Sunset Volkswagen claims that the front brakes were replaced and that the rear brake pads measured 5 mm. However, I have evidence that directly contradicts your statement. Shortly after purchasing my Genesis from your dealership, I discovered that the brakes were squealing. I subsequently had the vehicle inspected at a Genesis dealership, where I received an estimate indicating that the brake pads were completely worn out and needed replacement. The estimated cost was approximately $800. This raises a serious question: if your dealership replaced the front brakes and inspected the rear brakes as you claim, how do you explain the findings documented by the Genesis dealership shortly after the sale? Either the brakes were not replaced as you stated, or your inspection failed to identify a serious issue. Neither explanation is acceptable when a customer spends nearly $40,000 on a vehicle and reasonably expects it to be safe. I have documentation to support my concerns. Rather than simply defending your inspection, I invite Sunset Volkswagen to review the evidence and provide a clear explanation of this discrepancy. I wishe there was an option to attach the file with an estimate for the replacement I received..... In any case ... BUYERS BE AWARE !!!

Service was good, but upsell for additional services was too costly. I would have gotten additional services completed but their cost was too high. More
