I purchased a transmission off of this company, they told me it was coming from a 2018 dodge grand caravan that was repossessed and being parted out and only had 40k miles on it. I reached out to the salvage yard they purchased it from and they told me it came out of a 2018 dodge grand caravan with ALOT more the 40k miles on it and it was a salvaged vehicle that also had water damage. Now they refuse to take product back and return my moneyBusiness Response

I ordered a 2003 transmission for a 2003 ***** pilot with four-wheel-drive automatic they sent me a 2006 ***** pilot transmission and told me they guaranteed to work I found out that it was not the correct transmission and the only transmission would be possible is another 2003 transmission, I called back to the company informed them it was the wrong transmission. They told me to send them pictures of the Transmission I had pictures of the old Transmission and in the vehicle vin and my phone number I did as they asked and was told they had three days to make a decision on what to do , four days later, they told me that I could sell the transmission. I had to pay off the credit which I used to buy this transmission. I told the man that I shouldn't have to do that that they should keep their guarantee and get me the correct transmission he argued with me . I also have emails and which states that I chose to sell it I did not , I told him I should not have to take the time to find a buyer for 2006 transmission for a ***** pilot because that's specifically would need to be done to sell it so that was just wasting my time I'm not the one who guaranteed the correct part that was on the company I feel they should keep the guarantee I called the credit company and file a complaint with them to let them know I wouldn't be making any future payments since I didn't get the right product. They contacted the merchant who decided that they would send the correct transmission but I had to pay $580 cash upfront and I advised them I didn't have that and I didn't feel like she need to pay that because of the mistake the other option was the Transmission pay off the credit and cancel the order now they want to insist Ireturn the transmission. And so i have lost income jobs clients snd had to pay to remt a car and pay alot more to get from ******** to Tx to my mom in *** when i should have been able to drive myself. Now im stuck at the iCU with no way to handle other issuesBusiness Response

Once we receive the required documentation, we will be able to proceed with providing an appropriate resolution. Thank you for your patience and cooperation in this matter.Initial Complaint

On March 11 I ordered a transmission from RTS for a 1995 ***** Accord.I paid ******. After installing the transmission we found that the transmission is leaking. On April 1st I called RTS to inform them of the leak and asked for a refund. The man I spoke to asked me to send pics of the leak and the invoice. I did. I called them back after sending said documents. He asked if we put a new seal and other questions to which I replied yes. He then proceeded to basically call me a liar and said that he wants to see receipts for the purchase of the seals and speak with the mechanic shop who installed the transmission. I told him the mechanic wasn't here and I don't have the receipt for the purchase. He began over talking and yelling at me. I hung up. He called back only to yell at me and tell me he's not giving me a refund. I'm lost because I was told when I purchased the transmission that it has a 3 month warranty and if I had any problems I could send it back and get a refund. Now this guy won't even tell me where to send it! This company is a SCAM! Please don't ever buy from them. This is a nightmare! I can't afford to purchase another transmission. I don't have money like that to just throw away. I will look into legal action. This company should be shut down!Business Response

Hi. Initially, you opted to have the *** transmission reprogrammed at a non-specialized center. However, after our customer service team recommended taking it to a *** specialist, you declined and expressed a preference for a rebuilt transmission. Based on your decision to pursue a rebuilt transmission instead, we consider this case closed. Should you require assistance with the refund process, please contact our customer service team and provide the requested service documents from a *** specialist. They will assist you accordingly.Initial Complaint

I signed into a contract for the purchase of a running replacement engine for my 2011 **** Escape Xlt 2.5 liter. The first engine they sent me was locked up and wouldnt turn. I contacted them about the matter and had to send them pictures of the engine and a video showing them that they sent me an engine that didnt run. After receiving the pictures and video, they agreed to send me another replacement engine and pick up the previous one that was locked. This matter took about months before I received the second engine. When that engine arrived, the driver refused to pick up the other engine that was locked up. Now the second engine they sent me was to afford focus in this the valve cover is cracked and the timing valve cover is broke. I also have a video of that in pictures. For accompany like this I wasted time and money with my mechanics when this company should have checked the first engine before it was shipped out to make sure that it ran and furthermore the engine shouldve been checked to make sure there was no defects. No cracks nothing wrong with it because I entered into a contract to do business like this and Ive contacted them to no avail, and when I did get a hold to a gentleman, he was very nasty and this is not the proper way to do business. This is my first time doing business with them and my last . Furthermore, ****************** continues to try to take money from my bank account concerning this matter when I have express this matter to them also. This is a bad company to do business with, and I would not refer them to anybody.Business Response
