2. Service Department Misconduct —XXX Appointment On XXX, I brought my vehicle to the dealership’s service department for a pre-scheduled and confirmed appointment regarding a safety-related warning involving the emergency brake system. Despite having provided a full description of the issue at the time of booking, I was informed upon arrival that the diagnostic process would take more than five hours. When I asked about a loaner vehicle — standard practice at Mercedes-Benz dealerships in cases of extended service — I was refused, even though five courtesy vehicles were visibly parked on the lot and at least two other customers who arrived after me were provided loaners and expedited service that same day. I was made to wait in the lobby for the entire day. At approximately 5:00 p.m., just before closing, and despite no diagnostic work having been performed on my vehicle, a loaner vehicle was suddenly made available to me. This inconsistent and apparently discriminatory treatment in the allocation of loaner vehicles and service priority is unacceptable and warrants review. 3. Lack of Communication and Missing Documentation Following Service The technician assigned to my vehicle, [XXX], told me he would call me on Monday, XXX, once diagnostics were complete. He did not call. Instead, I received only an automated text message on Tuesday, XXX, stating the vehicle was ready — with no phone call, no email, and no explanation or summary of the work performed, contrary to standard practice at other Mercedes-Benz dealerships I have used. When I called to follow up, the technician did not answer despite multiple voicemails. I called the service department directly and asked for a supervisor; none was made available. After approximately one hour of calling the main dealership line, a sales associate attempted to reach the service department on my behalf and also received no answer. I then reached the technician directly. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6);
