I sent this email 2 weeks ago after being instructed to contact Lucy Powell but i am still yet to have a reply or a receipt to let me know that it at least is being looked in to.Dear Lucy Powell,I have been directed to you from customer relations in regards to a vehicle rejection request and have been told that I am within the manufacturer’s warranty period.I am writing to formally request rejection of my Volkswagen Tiguan purchased from Volkswagen Battersea in October 2025 under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.Since purchasing the vehicle, I have experienced multiple ongoing issues which have significantly affected my confidence in the vehicle and my overall experience as a customer.The issues I have experienced include:- Ongoing Travel Assist warnings and repeated alert sounds- Issues with the mirrors not functioning correctly- Persistent syncing and phone connection issues- Delays and connection problems with the infotainment system- The infotainment screen randomly turning off- Constant disconnection issues despite changing to a new phone- Concerns regarding the preparation and condition of the vehicle at handover, including dog hair still remaining in the vehicle despite repeated cleaning attempts.I was advised that some of the infotainment and syncing issues are common with newer Tiguan models and that delays are normal. However, I did not experience any of these issues with my previous vehicle and the problems have continued regardless of changing devices.With regards to the Travel Assist issues, I was advised that once the warning disappears from the screen it becomes difficult to identify the issue. Despite this, I returned the vehicle for these concerns to be investigated and repaired. However, the same issues continue to persist and I now feel that the problems have become worse since the vehicle was returned to me.These issues were raised shortly after purchase and the vehicle has already been returned for repair attempts, however the faults remain unresolved. The ongoing issues, combined with the repeated inconvenience and lack of resolution, have left me with very little confidence in the reliability and quality of the vehicle.The vehicle was intended to be an upgrade from my previous Tiguan, however my experience has unfortunately been the opposite. At this stage I no longer feel the vehicle is of satisfactory quality and I wish for my rejection request to be formally considered under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.Volkswagen Financial Services have also advised me to contact yourselves directly regarding this matter so that my rejection request can be formally reviewed.I would appreciate confirmation of the next steps.Registration number: VO22 LZTAgreement Number: 440179279912Kind regards,Shante Scott

Took some time to get an idea.4 test drive organised and when we finally did get behind the wheel it was a good experience. Sales contact Maurice was helpful and patient.

Dear Lookers,I am writing to complain regarding poor customer service received today and since first reaching out to Volkswagen Battersea on Tuesday 19th May 2026.On Tuesday 19th May, I expressed interest online via Autotrader in your Volkswagen Polo (registration PN73 YUD). Your Sales Executive Mehdi Kadhim got in touch with me. On the same day, I visited Car Planet Watford and viewed another very similar Volkswagen Polo for a better price. I called Mehdi explaining my situation. He encouraged me to buy from a Volkswagen retailer. I decided to follow his advice and turned down the offer given to me by Car Planet Watford. I called Mehdi again later that day to update him and I said how I am very interested in his Volkswagen Polo (registration PN73 YUD). We confirmed an appointment to view the vehicle in person at 10am today.Mehdi sent me a document by email with Terms and Conditions. He did not provide any further information. There was no written confirmation of our appointment, nor was there any directions to help on the day. I specifically told Mehdi to inform me if there are any competing buyers or developments saying I could visit earlier in the afternoon on Wednesday 20th May if needed. Mehdi acknowledged this request but at no point did he offer a reservation fee.I have checked the online advert on Autotrader (https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202601089008495?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios-app&calc-deposit=1610&calc-term=48&calc-mileage=10000&calc-selected-product=PCP). There is no explicit advice on paying a reservation fee. In fact the advert says, "At Lookers Volkswagen Battersea, you’ll always get great value, expert advice, and a warm welcome – making your car buying experience simple, exciting, and stress-free."I live in North London so I am unfamiliar with Battersea. I therefore used google maps to get to my appointment today. I searched Volkswagen Battersea and unfortunately, I was directed to a Volkswagen service centre near Earlsfield station. I realised my mistake soon after my arrival. I called Volkswagen Battersea informing them I would be 20-30 minutes late. I was given directions telling me to go to Clapham Junction station then it's a short walk from there. I wish I had been given this information earlier. I was not advised on paying a reservation fee.I got back on public transport and made my way again to Volkswagen Battersea. I was greeted by a kind lady at reception. I needed to wait 15 minutes for Mehdi, which I did not mind because I was thirsty and needed to use the toilet. I was greeted by Mehdi in a casual manner. I was allowed to look at the car and I really liked it! We sat down to discuss a test drive. There was an issue because my driving license is registered to an old address. Mehdi then informed me how "today was not my day" because the vehicle sold 5 minutes ago.I was obviously very disappointed. I tried to explain my disappointment and I asked why no one informed me of the competing offer like I had asked. Mehdi did not acknowledge any fault saying our phone calls have been recorded. He did not seem to understand that I was upset or show any interest in wanting to rectify the matter. I felt like we had completely different viewpoints. For this reason, I asked to speak to his manager.I waited 10 minutes. Perhaps the only real gesture of kindness shown to me today by Volkswagen Battersea was the lady at reception who offered and brought me a glass of water while I waited. I spoke to the manager. She apologised for me "feeling that way". She said I should have paid a reservation fee. I explained how nobody advised doing this till now. I repeated how I had expressed strong interest and I wanted to be informed of any developments. She repeated how I should have paid a reservation fee and said this is written on the Volkswagen Battersea website. I asked why no one called me like I was told would happen. She said Mehdi was off work yesterday. I asked why did he not tell any other staff members about me. It was repeated that I should have paid a reservation fee.The manager initially seemed to dismiss my desire to complain saying she would be the one to respond so there was no point in doing so. Eventually she acknowledged my disappointment, gave a more heartfelt apology and offered to help find another deal. I explained how, at that moment in time, I did not have the energy to start the process again.Going forward, an acceptable response to this complaint would be helping me to find another deal. I would hope to be prioritised to find a deal on similar terms to the one today. If this is not possible, then a deal with something in the way of a good will gesture would be appreciated. I would also like for there to be training for sales executives at Lookers so customers in a similar situation to myself are advised on paying a reservation fee. Better communication, attention to detail and concern for the customer would also go a long way in providing better service.I hope we can resolve this matter.Many thanks,Dr Vittorio Decaro

It has reached 14 days and have had no response

I am writing to formally express my disappointment regarding the complete lack of communication surrounding my Volkswagen Tayron order.The vehicle was ordered in April 2026, and since placing the order I have received virtually no meaningful updates regarding the status of the vehicle or an estimated delivery timeframe.I have now sent five emails and made multiple phone calls attempting to obtain even a basic update. On several occasions I was advised that somebody would return my call, however no response has been received.I appreciate that delivery schedules can change, but the absence of communication and failure to respond to repeated contact attempts is extremely frustrating and falls far below the level of customer service I would expect.At this stage, I would appreciate:A clear update on the status of my orderAn estimated delivery timeframeAn explanation as to why my repeated communications have gone unansweredI would appreciate a response as soon as possible.Kind regards,

Very pleased with whomever I spoke to. He was knowledgeable but not pushy.

Good evening, I am writing to raise a formal complaint regarding my recent experience with Lookers Battersea.My vehicle’s air conditioning is not working, and I have contacted your team multiple times over the past two weeks. On each occasion, I have been told that I would receive a call back, however no one has followed up as promised.This lack of communication is unacceptable, particularly as the issue with the vehicle remains unresolved.I would like:* A prompt call back from the service or sales manager* A clear plan to diagnose and fix the air conditioning issue* An explanation for the lack of follow-upIf I do not receive a response within 48 hours, I will escalate this matter further.Please treat this as a formal complaint and confirm receipt.
