      I ordered a car cover from partsford.com which I purchased for a total of $433.49. I realized the next day the car came with a cover already so I called the next day to try to stop the transaction and I was informed I would have to let the cover be delivered and send it back afterwards. I received the cover and never took it out of the box. My husband was not sure if he wanted to keep it as a spare or not so we decided to return it a couple of weeks later. I requested a return label and was sent one and I returned the cover still in the same box via ***** tracking number ************. It was received on September 2nd by the company. After not seeing my money credited to my account after a couple of weeks, I called the phone number and I was informed it would take up to 30 days to receive my money. I then placed a call to them on October 6th and I was informed by customer service that I would have my money in my account on either October 7th, Friday, or October 10th, Monday. Not seeing my money in my account on the 10th, I called again and asked to speak with a supervisor. I was informed there was no way to put me in touch with a supervisor and was told one would call me back in 1 to 2 days and that they were escalating my claim and it should be resolved in 5 days. Not getting a call back from a supervisor or seeing my money in my account by Friday, October 14th, I placed another call to the company and spoke with ***** who could not put me in touch with a supervisor and said he would have one call me back. On October 17th, 2022 (Monday), I again called and spoke with someone who told me the same thing. I just want my money back at this point. Terrible customer service to just get "lip service" from their employees.

      On May 31, 2022, my 2018 **** Ecosport (VIN # *****************) started displaying a ********** Pressure Low light on the dashboard while I was about to start my delivery part-time job. I still had many miles left before my next oil change, so thought it could wait till the next day. That evening my car started stalling and didn't accelerate as normal. Luckily, I got home and took it to my oil change place where the car died on their bay. He said they found water and metal in the engine. I called the dealership since there were already two issues with the starter and told me it would need to come in. Since it was out of warranty, to check that particular part of the engine would cost me no less than $1000.00. I find this unacceptable for a car less than 4 years to die like that. It does have $80K miles, but when I escalated this to **** (Ref# CAS37105670) they even told me it was still warranted since it was excessively over the mileage. He stated if it had over $100K miles than it would be a wear and tear case. The rep advised me that the dealership would give me a price and cut the cost by 50%. I have called three dealerships and they all ate passing the buck. One said **** just says that but it's not guaranteed they would drop the price. The **************************** and Highway Safety has also been advised of this since, coincidentally, my VIN # doesn't appear on the recall for the exact same issue that my engine has. I am asking for **** to be held accountable and place thus VIN under their recall list or reimburse me for any costs I will incur going to another auto repair shop. I have lost the ability to make $1000 - $1200 a month with my delivery job because of this.
