CAPPALUCCI I.
Deplorable customer service.
purchased my vehicle brand new from Volkswagen of Union NJ in 2018. This vehicle has only been serviced and repaired at Jack Daniels Volkswagon I have detailed service records since day 1. The last service on this vehicle was on 10/17/2024. I have the documents from this service appointment showing the vehicle had no codes no faults. On 12/22/2024 my vehicle was legally parked in the street outside my place of work. My car was driving and functioning fine with no lights or warnings on my dashboard. 2 cars collided with each other and one of those cars involved in that accident slammed into the rear of my parked car. We filed a police report police came to the scene. On my way home from the accident scene the car began having drivability issues and the check engine light came on. The following day when I spoke to the insurance person handling my case I voiced my concern about the check engine light and the drivability issues. This person assured me all would be taken care of care of at the shop they recommended. When I dropped my car off at Class A auto body in Hackensack NJ I told the gentleman taking care of me about my concerns regarding the check engine light and the drivability issues with the car. This person assured me dont worry we will take care of everything . Fast forward to today. I have a repaired vehicle with a check engine light and drivability issues. The body shop claims the issues with the car have nothing to do with the accident. The body shop reported this to the insurance and the insurance has refused to cover the mechanical issues with the car. Honestly it could be nothing a sensor a relay or something I really dont know. All I know is that prior to the accident my vehicle was driving perfect with no lights on the dash and I feel thats the way it should have been returned to me. Or they could have been transparent and gave me a choice to take my car elsewhere where I could of gotten the service I required. Also telling me the car was already not mechanically sound is an insult to my person. Its like calling me a liar something I do not take lightly. I would like for this office to review the recorded phone calls with the insurance company. It is recorded how deplorable they treated me. The spoke to me in a billittling and defensive manner one gentleman actually asked me to stop speaking because he didnt want to hear my story because he couldnt help me anyway. I was even threatened to have my car towed to a lot at my expense if I didnt go and pick up my car from the body shop. So basically they forced me to receive a car I was not satisfied with the repair. The car has drivability issues and I do not know if my family is safe riding in that car. I am extremely concerned and not at ease. In an effort to prove my point I contacted Jack Daniels Volkswagon and I asked them to email me the last 2 service record reports showing they performed a diagnostic and none of the current issues with car came up. They still refused to cover the repair. The gentleman I spoke to Jason said that on the internet he saw that other Volkswagen owners have reported similar problems with thier cars. I just feel like this is not a just way to come to the determination of denying a claim. Accidents and cars have to many variables, to many different factors can affect how a car responds to a collision. While their scenario could very well be plausible that does not mean my scenario is not. I can only speak from my experience and my vantage point. The car had no issues and not it does. I mean I just cant put it any other way. I dont think what is happening to me is fair and I would like your office to look into the situation and make sure everyone is doing what they are supposed to do. Please help me. What do you consider to be a fair resolution?: My car was involved in an accident while legally parked in the street. I think a fair resolution is to give me my car back the way it was Driving fine with no check engine light on. The service records support my claim that the vehicle had no prior check engine or drivability issues before the accident. I am taking the vehicle to Jack Daniels Volkswagon service center. I am going to aske them to repair the vehicle and put it in the same exact condition it was prior to the accident. Nothing more nothing less. I want no extras and I am not trying to get over on anyone. I would like for travlers insurance to cover the bill.
