      I have begged these people for the files to the ** card that I need to make this device work and they refuse to give them to me.

      After checking our system and seeing that our agent **** replied 2 days ago with the files requested and instructions for use, we had him reach out again today to check if that resolved the issue. Customer indicated that it did. We apologize for the delay; we normally do not pass out that ** as it is a security concern and prefer that our agents connect remotely with the customer to load the ** and then delete it when they are done. This is why we do not have them listed openly for download at this time. We understand that this is not always possible with the Customer's busy work schedules and our limited hours of operation. We will work to have our agents escalate these matters internally when attempting the remote method is not working. Thanks.

      I reached out on 3/21/2024 to Bully Dog support for help with my BDX Tuner error codes. I have been working exclusively with a technician named "Colt" for almost two weeks now. He asks the same questions repeatedly. He obviously is helping too many other customers at the same time as his responses are anywhere between 2 minutes between replies (acceptable) to 26 minutes to even days later (not acceptable). He even fully admits he is helping other people because it is "Chat Support". I asked if there was a way to get one on one support. He replied 2 hours and 15 minutes later and told me to call into the support line. Unfortunately nobody answers the phone line, it says to call back when they open and then disconnects. He was on my computer using Team Viewer and looked at a few things then disconnected and said nothing. He didn't answer me back for hours again. Now a day later again, he tells me that if I have Team Viewer, they can get on my machine and get what they need to escalate. Well he was literally just on my machine yesterday with Team Viewer. Again, repeating what we have been through already. This is becoming extremely frustrating. I have asked for a supervisor and escalation but he refuses to do either. If this cannot get resolved by end of week, I would just like a refund and I will move on. I also feel Colt needs some customer relation skills training. Ticket# *****

      Hi *******,

      It looks like we gave you instructions on next steps 15 days ago on 4/18 and we haven't received a reply back yet. I also had our Senior Tech reach out via phone and he left you a voicemail. We just need to proceed and see if you are still having the issue after you returns to stock, update the device, and reinstall.

      I am rejecting this response because: Yes I was given a test tune but after driving sparingly for 2 weeks the issue is back again and we are at the same spot as last month when I contacted support. The new tech is fantastic though and responsive with intelligent responses. Please keep this open until the issue is resolved permanently.

      Sincerely,

      Hi *******, 

      We have not heard back from you on this issue since May 6th. Did the updated tunes solve your problem?

      I am rejecting this response because: After testing for a few weeks, I have the same results. Still throwing check engine codes when using the tuner. **************** has been much much better but the issue is still not resolved.

      The customer was sent an RMA Number on 7/25 to send his device back for credit, we have still not received it back. The last response that I have from the customer is 7/25 and I sent him an email on 8/20 asking if he had sent the device to us and have any tracking number? The customer will not be credited for the device until we receive the device in and ensure it is not missing components, damaged, or programmed to his vehicle.

      I purchased a turbo January 2021 and installed it and did not notice much of a power change in my truck. I went ahead and purchased their tuner thinking this will resolve the issue and still did not notice any drastic change. Fast forward a few months and the turbo is leaking oil into my air cooler and is defective all around so I reach out for a warranty replacement. I was told the turn around time for warranty replacement would be **** days from the day they receive the package. Well the package has been received to their facility today marks ********************************************************************************************************* out of work for 3 weeks now and counting as they promised a TURN AROUND of **** days and theirs no product being shipped to me yet. They just toss you from rep to rep and every day say today they should finish processing, the next day comes around and still no word. When you send them another email for an update they just keep saying it should be today and never is. Save your money and purchase at a more reputable place, somewhere where they actually give a s*** and help their customers and stand behind their product.

      Hi ******,

      Your new turbo did ship on Friday 12/16, which was day 14 of the quoted turnaround time.

      Please understand that our intent is never to give you the run around but there is only so much information we have on these day by day. These go directly to the manufacturer of the turbo to tear it down and make sure the failure wasn't due to neglect. We are simply relaying back to you what the manufacturer is telling us, which is that it is being worked on.
