Faulty Vehicle sold by Rola Motors Mercedes Somerset West
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding a used Mercedes-Benz GLA200A (2017 model) that I purchased from Rola Motors Somerset West in July 2024, taking possession of it in early August 2024. The vehicle was sold to me by Mark Redjeb, who I understand is no longer employed at your dealership. Since purchasing this vehicle, I have encountered a series of significant and distressing problems that have rendered the car unreliable and unsafe to drive. Below is a timeline of the issues: 1. Brake Pad Replacement Shortly after purchase, I had to replace the brake pads. While I understand this falls under wear and tear, I question whether the vehicle was thoroughly inspected prior to being handed over to me. 2. Transmission Failure • First Occurrence: Last month, the car experienced transmission failure twice in quick succession. On advice from my Electrical Engineer, I brought the car to the nearest Mercedes-Benz dealership (Century City), where they informed me that the issue stemmed from a low battery, which was impacting the car’s electronic systems. They advised me to turn off the automatic start/stop feature, and this appeared to temporarily resolve the issue. • Second Occurrence:On 12 December 2024, while traveling to Caledon for urgent matters with my daughter, the car again went into transmission failure. I immediately took the vehicle to Rola Motors’ service section in Somerset West, where the vehicle was purchased from, which they were infiemed of whilst waiting. After a brief inspection, I was informed that the auxi****y battery was completely dead. I was assured the car was safe to drive and instructed to contact the dealership in case of further breakdowns. Later that same day, the car failed to start in Newlands. After managing to restart the vehicle, it once again experienced transmission failure near UCT on the M3. Fortunately, I was able to pull into the Rhodes Memorial slipway safely. I attempted to use my vehicle tracker emergency button, but it did not function. I had to arrange towing to the Century City Mercedes-Benz dealership. 3. Current Diagnosis and Communication Century City Mercedes-Benz has since contacted me to state that the gearbox appears to contain water or fluid, and they need to strip the car to investigate further. I was informed that I might be held responsible for this issue, which whereby insinuating that I had perhaps managed to get water into my vehicle's engine, ie rain whereby I rep**** that my vehicle is always parked in a secure, covered location both at home and at work. I have it cleaned once a week at the garage but they have never cleaned inside the engine! This series of events has caused immense stress, financial loss, and disruption to my life, including the cancellation of a planned trip with my daughter, who was visiting from abroad during the holiday season. I must emphasize that under the Consumer Protection Act (CPA), I am entitled to demand a repair, replacement, or refund for a vehicle that was sold with latent defects. The condition of this vehicle upon purchase clearly violates the imp**** warranty of quality under the CPA. I have also been in contact with my lawyer with my lawyer with regards to this issue and am lodging a formal complaint with the ombudsman. I trust this matter will be resolved swiftly, as the sale of a faulty vehicle and the continued refusal to take accountability have severely affected my trust and confidence in your dealership. I had the worst service from Gareth O'Toole from Rola Motors Mercedes Somerset West. In all my years have never experienced such unprofessional service! My daughter and myself were put in danger on the road during the twice occurrence of transmission failure whilst driving.

No words!!
Discovery is at it again, always blaming their clients! On the 29th of June 15.20 I contacted them via chat on the website and was put through to Tsholofelo Boloi, whom I spoke to with regards to the purchasing of a new vehicle to register my new vehicle, and advised her that my Suzuki that was on was traded in hence the request to submit new details. This was done via chat! My old car was never removed and I have been paying for two cars since July! I only noticed when I had to go in and check something on the website, and then checked my bank statement as well.Then she said that she would phone me which she did and now claims that on the phone call nothing was mentioned about removing my old vehicle, but I clearly stated that on the chat, why do they not check that. Again I am struggling with Discovery they are quick enough to take your money, but when it comes to reimbursing you, its an endless struggle! I have emailed my proof of purchase where it stated that my Suzuki had been traded in for the newly purchased vehicle. I a m really tired of Discovery last year it was a medical issue. Can this please get sorted!!!

Insurance Broker not yet assigned!
I had an issue with my broker last year where he forgot to take my daugher off my medical aid and I got charged for six months, and neither would take the blame for it, eventually Discovery did, after dragging their feet for months, but I have still not been assigned another broker !! It has been since last year September and still no sign of another broker! This is for health and car insurance!

Shocking Service
Shocking service and behaviour from Discovery After my initial complaint in the 5th of December I got a call back from Gabriel from Diacovery advising me to send through all my correspondence to him and he will make sure that I get reimbursed as Discovery and broker, who is emplyed by Discovery,seriously let me down as Leon Vermeulen the broker did not cancel my daughter's mecical aid as arvised via whatsapp in May and again in June! She left for Holland and the broker removed the insurane on the contents of my house but nit my daughter. payment for my daughterafter I advised my financial broker Leon Vetneulen that I wanted him to cancel the medical aid the ens if May, vua whatsapp and he claimed he never read the whatsapp but confirmed in email that he had camcelked the policy for contents od my house!!! Gabriel then asked me to srns prood that my daughter had travelled which I did!!!! He felt that I had been seriously let down by Discovery and he was very professional and friendly.I sent through all the documenration, proof of requesting removal for my daughter etc. He then send through an email requesting proof of her departure which I sent through. Then got a replt saying that I travelled with my daughter in August as I downloaded cover for medical whilst overseas, which she also got!!!! I travellef to the UK on my own my daughter was in Holland already and the reasin she was on the Medical cover was because my broker had failed dismilllay to remover her as she was still on as my deoendant due to negligence on your behalf!! They advised me that they can only backdate the removal and from what I could gather will be reimbursed for contribution paid for your failure!! Which is not the case I got a form to say I consent to this BUT still owe them R1900 something!!! Are you kiddijg me, six months of taking my money now you want more because you have failed to perform! I have lodged a claim with the Ombudsman and will be moving over to another medical aid in the new year. Discovery I am in the corporate world and believe me I have spoken to a lot of people who are with Discovery and they are all unhappy with you and looking elsewhere. You fo not care about your clients! I will never promote you, and after I had my financial broker removed, you were suppose to assign a new broker! Not a word from you!!! My daughter's contrubution for 6 months is almost R18000 but yet they want me to pay them 'what I owe them' back??? Their negligence, their responsibility! I have also sent an email asking to cancel my vitality with immedistw effect, a month or two ago, nothing has been done, monies were also taken for Vitality for my daughter every month as she was not removed from my medical aid. Another failure on Discivery's part. I should be claiming back her monies back as well!!!

Shocking Service from Discovery and Broker!
I have been with Discovery Medical Aid since 2016 and they employ Brokers who work FOR THEM to assist their clients. However, My broker Leon Vermeulen conveniently forgot to remove my daughter from my medical aid as she was leaving for overseas and not coming back, but on the message that I sent him I asked him to remove my daughter the end of May and to cancel the contents of my house. He cancelled the contents but never ever cancelled my daughter's medical aid, for which I happily paid for 6 months!!! I then send him a message to tell him soon after I asked him to remove my daughter, to asked him to check whether he had taken her off as my policy was still very high, I knew that it had gone up, but still thought it was high. He never even responded to me. Then when I told him all of this, he said that Discovery will not reimburse me the 6 months contribution (about R18000) as they want an email in writing that stipulated that? How did he then sent me an email when I requested the cancellation and removal saying the contents had been cancelled! He did not offer any help or support and I lodged a complaint with Disovery, with all the relevant emails and correspondence. A mr Preesan Govender was so incredibly rude, asked me whether I had liaised with my broker and should sort it out with him? Seriously!! I then lodged a claim with the CMS and they wrote back that I should lodge it against the broker as they cannot justify the claim against Discovery, but to lodge a claim with the ombudsman which I have. Discovery employ these brokers! I have subsequently removed had my broker removed, but I cannot see why he should not be held liable for his actions, and try and pin it on me? So yes, fed up with Discovery, wanting to move my car insurance and health insurance. They only care about money not their clients!
