Lemon Law applied. Car is being repurchased by VW.

Updated by user Sep 13, 2019

My latest update is as of 9/13/19. Unfortunately, I had to begin the lemon law process in order to get anything done.

I was finally able to get a response from VW in which they agreed to purchase the car back. This is bitter sweet for since my intentions all along was to keep the car, that is why i purchased it in the first place. The dealership gave me the run around without never really dealing with the issue. They blamed VW for not authorizing the repairs needed to make the AC work properly.

Shame on them both for not making the customer experience a priority, instead choose to blame me for the issue.

As a result, this leaves a real bad taste in my mouth for both organizations. Needless to say, my next car will neither be purchased at this dealership nor be a volskwagen.

Original review Jul 23, 2019

I’ve own 4 VW automobiles in the last 5 years. I purchased them all at the same dealership and have been relative pleased with the level of service.

However, things have been very different with my lattes purchase of a 2018 Golf GTI.

I’ve had trouble with my AC freezing up several times. The dealership has tried to figure out the issue, but to no avail. Between the dealers, Esserman International and VW they can’t figure out the issue.

So, what do they do “sorry we can’t do nothing, please come pick up your car” are you kidding me?

I’m now stuck with a new car that is not working properly and they refuse to either give me another car or fix this one.

Whatever you do, don’t ever consider buying anything from VW, since they do not stand by their product and support the customer. This will be my last car I ever purchase from them and will encourage anyone to do the same.

Francisco Diaz Unprofessional

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Never received a response about the unprofessional behavior from GM Francisco Diaz.

To my understanding Francisco Diaz manipulated facts and reported no accurate response to a third party on behalf of Esserman International Volkswagen. The dealer and him cover each other by not taken responsibilities but manipulating the complaint system

Unprofessional treatment from general manager Francisco Diaz

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

General Manager, Frank Diaz, from Esserman International Volkswagen at Doral, Miami, is kind of person who does not mind humiliating costumers. I reported to him about a services no performed on my car even it was requested when the car still under guaranty.

Mr Francisco Diaz stated: that’s simple you take or leave the premise. He boasts that he has no boss above of him, not even the owner. He got to the point of laughing at me and my wife by asking loudly to other employee in the middle of the waiting room: Is there any one above of me in the dealer? All employees present laughed and answered: nobody, Frank.

Then I told him that I will report such unprofessional behavior and incident to the corporate; he just mocked at me by stating: as I said, nobody above me, so, good look.

So if you are no satisfied with services rendered, you cannot complaint. “You take or leave it, he states.

I, my family and friend will take our business to a serious dealer with real and professional staff.

Such attitude should not be tolerated in a person representing the biggest automaker of the world.

Car shoppers, beware of this manager Francisco Diaz and the dealer Esserman International Volkswagen at Doral, Miami

I will never take my car to Esserman International Volkswagen; the staff at the service department just want to take your money out of your pocket by selling services no recommended by the manufacturer and by dealing with costumers in very unprofessional manner
