Sales team did a competent job but having issues getting a second key fob. We're not told there was only one key fob until the deal was done and we were picking up the car. Still trying to work through this More

I will be visiting the Mitsubishi dealership in Waukesha on Tuesday 6/24 at 8:00am to have the service team attempt to program a second key fob. However we were told there are no guarantees it will work, and there would be a $120 charge whether successful or not. I would think a dealership as large and reputable as Russ Darrow would be able to accommodate this relatively small request. Our expectation is that a 1 year old car should have been sold with 2 working key fobs to start with. At a minimum we'd expect a fob we purchased could be programmed at no charge to us. My mobile number is 414-975-5298 and email is tenhaken@att.net. Thank you for your assistance in getting this resolved.

While the price was fair for the car we purchased and the salesperson was cordial and friendly, the vehicle was not even cleaned and ready for the lot. No jack or lug wrench in the car, the ignition switch h More

You are correct in saying that we did not pay for the Xzilon treatment, however this was only for the reason that we financed the vehicle through Russ Darrow. We were told if we did not do this financing we would have to pay the $2895 amount. We did not have any details for the financing such as who, percentage rate, and so on until we sat down with Aaron on Friday. We could have financed it locally otherwise. The supposed third party person we dealt with was Kylie Korpela. We were told that she was a third party person-not a Russ Darrow employee-by our "salesperson" Michael Pilarte and I think Aaron said the same. The only dealings we had with Michael before Friday were sales proposals showing figures that I had sent to Kylie. As you can see, there was a real lack of communication and following through with commitments and details by whomever. Aaron and Michael received 4 stars because they were nice to deal with in person, not because of any preparation work or providing details beforehand done in our behalf. I would have argued over the vehicle's final price if it hadn't been for the fact that we liked the Ridgeline's looks and features plus I was tired of going around and around on items with nothing ever being done or answered. As I said previously, the ratings were not given to be too critical, but to hopefully aid in improving. You may hear different things about the promises and business dealings, but I do have text messages which can verify the truthfulness of what I have told you. The information is for you to use or disregard. Your choice. Thanks for contacting me. Chris

ISABEL2 responded

This is just an update to a previous review. Some additional information came to our attention and I wanted to address those. Again, the Ridgeline is a good vehicle and the purchase of it was okay, but there is a warning that I wanted to share. Regardless of what is said before the contact is to be signed, make sure that you have IN WRITING any offers, promises, etc that you have been told about your purchase. We did experience a couple of things that were said, but did not happen. Going back after the purchase proved to be a waste of time. We should have been more careful, but we trusted that what we were told would be honored.
