    I bought an EZGO golf cart two years ago and they are putting in the third controller on it in about a year. I bought it from *** *** **** ** *** ******* ******* and they told me Textron/EZGO is aware the controllers' do not work and break all the time but EZGO refuses to do anything about it, *** *** **** told me they have seven golf carts at this moment that need controllers and EZGO refuses to do anything about it.

    Mr. *******,  We are sorry to hear you have had a negative experience with one of our vehicles.  the controller in question has seen some failures.  the vendor has made improvements to it's reliability.  these improvements by the vendor we completed in Q4 of last year.  your car has warranty coverage to 4/7/25.  **** golf cars should have the newer controller in stock.  it is ** ********.  this will address your issue and again we apologize for your negative experience.

    We are sorry to learn that your 2020 ******* *** **** ***** has a driven clutch failure. We understand how frustrating this must be to you.

    ********** ********



    I am rejecting this response because: Simply because this part is now available does not mean that I am satisfied with your solution. I have spent hours trying to find this part only to be told for an entire month that it was not available; sorry for the inconvenience, but we do not know when the part will be available!

    I am glad that you have finally solved your supply problem, but I lost the use of my machine for way too long. The *** ** is known for having faulty clutches. If I had known that when I purchased it, I never would have purchased it. Now I have to buy shims also, but I have to purchase 3 different sets because no one can say which set I will need. I am out over $1,000 already without my mechanics charges. I am going to unload this turkey ASAP and make sure that I will let others know just what a horrible machine this Tracker is!

    Sincerely,



    ***** ***

    Dear ***** ***:
    We are sorry to hear you are not satisfied with our answer regarding the ******** clutches being in stock for your local dealer to order.

    We reviewed the inventory history for part number ******** to which we seen there was a few days of out-of-stock time in the beginning of July. We also searched to see for local dealer in your area to see if they called into request to a restocking date with no success of finding a call.

    We understand how frustrating this must be to you and we apologies for your inconvenience. 

    Again, we recommend contacting your local dealer to place an order for the replacement clutch.

    Please contact our customer care line at ************** if you have any questions or concerns.

    Once again, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

    Regards

    Dear ***** ***:

    In regard to your statement of $1,000.00, we wanted to let you know that the current MSRP price for the ******** driven clutch is listed at $378.95 plus local city and state tax, the shim ******** MSRP is listed at $14.49 each plus local city and state tax with only one being needed for clutch installation. The amount of labor time we have on our flat rate scale to remove and replace the driven clutch is 15 mins. Most shops are a half hour minimum putting the labor cost at approximately $55.00. With the parts that are required to replace the driven clutch and labor we have an estimated price of $448.44 plus local city and state tax. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause during the short time the driven clutch was on back order. We encourage you to contact your local to have the clutch ordered for your machine. 

    Best regards

    Tracker Off Road.

    ********** ********



    I am rejecting this response because:
     We also had to replace the Primary clutch $833.95 and the belt $147.26, plus **** *** ** ******** ******* told us that we have to by 3 different sets of shims, and we could not return the ones that were not needed. My problem with you is that you were unable to provide the secondary clutch in a timely fashion. My machine has been in the shop for over a month because of that. We should have been able to access the parts we needed so that we could use the machine, The only way we can access some of our watering tanks for the ****** without our machine is by walking 3 miles up a canyon that is not accessible by a truck. I would think that your company could do a much better job with your supply chain!

    Sincerely,
