I’m not one to leave a bad review just because my feelings are hurt, but for this one I felt truly obligated. I was in steady contact with this dealership for a month after I bought my Silverado due to the issues I had. They DID provide me a loaner, however, they dismissed what I said was wrong with the truck. Since I’m not from Hattiesburg, Dossett allowed me to go to a local dealer to diagnose the first issue (one day after I bought the truck). McConnell Buick GMC in Mobile informed me it needed a new transmission. Dossett said they wanted the truck so they could look at it. Two days later, I get my truck back and was told all they did was flush the transmission and now it’s running fine. I also let them know about the rough idle. Nothing was ever done or inspected for that, not even an option I could pay for after they diagnose it. Moving forward to now, the transmission now has a TERRIBLE shifting issue which the service manager says is normal for the 6.2L engine. They knew exactly what they were doing with their “repair”. They wanted it to be problem-free for the next few thousand miles so they wouldn’t have to warranty it. That’s fine, I get it. But I value my integrity and honesty over money any day of the week.
The owner himself offered to get me the keys for the bed cover. That never happened. Turns out, the bed cover was busted and no good anyway. The seals were ripped and the cover won’t stay closed, and when I asked for them to get the cover off the truck (since it was in their shop anyway), they told me “that’s not something we typically deal with.”
Edit, since I can’t reply to the dealers response: I NEVER ONCE told them anything about the door locks. THEY told ME before coming to Hattiesburg that it was in the shop for the door locks and I still have the text to prove that. As for the check engine light, they fixed that at their own will without telling me the issue. Furthermore, they still have not addressed the fact that they sold me a truck that constantly has an overheating transmission (200°F+ and the service manager says that’s normal temp), all they did was change the fluid, even though the dealer warranty covers the engine and transmission and I was told it had a bad transmission from McConnell. The engine still misfires at idle and as far as the test drive goes, they’re in a perfect area to sell junk. The salesman led me down every bumpy road and construction area he could, then told me to do a u-turn around before getting to the highway, looking back this was probably due to the faulty transmission he didn’t want me to feel. I also noticed their response didn’t include anything about the owner saying he’d get those keys to the bed cover. Lol. I was nice in my initial review, but they wanted to pull their fake “receipts” thinking they got one over on me, acting as if I ever once mentioned the door locks, which were fixed before I even found the truck online.
