I am filing this report with the purpose of exposing this dealership so that it does not happen again to another minority female customer shopping alone at this dealership.
I took my Nissan truck into the dealership to get an appraised trade-in value against the possible purchase of a new Toyota truck. My Nissan was driven around the lot by 2 employees: Paul my salesperson (a very nice individual) and Ronnie the Used Cars manager. Around 830pm when John the floor sales manager rejected my purchase offer, I was prevented from driving my Nissan truck home because I could not unlock the steering wheel. Paul my salesperson made an attempt but was not successful and he had to leave. When I brought the situation to their attention, Ronnie and John flat out told me it was NOT their problem. I was left with calling my sister and to wait for her to come take me home. In shock and disbelief over the outrageous mistreatment, I informed Ronnie and John that I would be contacting the media. They simply laughed and told me they will be waiting for your call. Later as I stood waiting in the parking lot, Ronnie told me he wanted to "take a look at the steering wheel". I did not allow him to because I could no longer trust him or the dealership.
Later on in the evening around 10pm, Ronnie called me at home to telll me that they had given me the WRONG KEY, it was the key to someone else's Nissan ! As unbelievably sloppy and unprofessional their operation was, the real outrage lies in the fact that the minute I made the decision NOT to purchase, they immediately turned against me, a minority (Asian) female customer shopping by herself. Any other self- and customer-respecting dealership would have done the 2 following things: 1) Offer to have the Service Dept fix the obviuosly minor problem the next morning and 2) Offer to give me a ride home.
Here's a direct quote from their website www.fredhaastoyotacountry.com:
"Fred Haas is very proud of his dealerships and his employees and attributes his long-standing reputation in the automotive business to treating customers with integrity and honesty and offering value pricing". As you can see, this is at the very least, blatantly false and misleading advertising.

It's really not about what Toyota did to me. It's about what Toyota was doing to their customers.

I Have a Question
AUTHOR: Karl - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, January 27, 2010
To Karl - Highland Ranch:
I am not fond of Toyotas at all. The noisiest and most overpriced car I ever had was a 1984 Tercel and I drove a 2006 Solara convertible 300 miles until I could find someone to take it off my hands. It rode like a truck and flexed all over the place. Toyota service (by the book) is way overpriced and the 15,000 mile "service" and subsequent ones are rarely needed. I drive Chevrolets and Cadillacs. What has Toyota done to you? Every comment you make is negative and I was just curious.

You can 'Google' this- BALTIMORE SETTLEMENT CALIFORNIA TOYOTA, and read the Class Action Lawsuit filed by African Americans & Hispanics because Toyota Corporation & their dealer network targeted minorities and put them in higher interest rate car loans due to their RACE! 'Baltimore' is the last name of the main plaintiffs. Mr. & Mrs. Baltimore are an African American couple.

Rebuttal from Fred Haas Toyota Country

This report is very old and it is the only negative report filed against this dealership. Nevertheless, I am posting a rebuttal, because this report is NOT representative of this dealership:
1) This incident occurred only a short time after this dealership opened. Both the managers involved have since been replaced.
2) The year this incident occurred -- and EVERY year since -- this dealership was awarded Toyota's highest honor, the President's Club. That award is given only to dealerships who achieve the highest level of customer satisfaction.
3) For the calendar year just concluded, this dealership had the highest customer satisfaction rating in our entire region.

i do not think that being a minority was the reason...
AUTHOR: Leticia - (U.S.A.)

The reason was just being female.
IE my husband is in the military. One of the people in his unit took a female (also in his unit.) To a car dealership over lunch break, (her husand and her needed 2 cars.) They talked to the guy. When he explained who it was looking for a car, they talked to her like she didn't know anything. (She's a mechanic.) She thought that she finally made them see the light until she noticed that they had put in for her credit report with her first name and her co-workers last name. (BTW they were both in uniform.) She decided I'm not buying from there.

It is your Nissan

It is too bad about what happened to you and if the employees laughed at you that was uncalled for.
However if they gave you the wrong key in error this could be a honest mistake.
It is not any dealers responsibility to service a car that does not belong to them nor is it their responsibility to take you home.
Did you even ask for these services?
Remember the Nissan in question belonged to you and the dealership cannot repair it without your consent.
