Summit stole money from my credit card without notice for an item on backorder for a year. Evidently the item came in today and without notice they took the funds from my card without authorization, not a courtesy call, nothing, complete blindside.
When I got a notice from the bank I immediately got online to see what the charge was for and also called the customer service line demanding my funds back immediately. Summit offered zero resolution and said it would be back on my card in about 48 hours or more.
This is literal theft.Business Response

In addition to the previous information, we sent a follow up
email requiring immediate action in December when the manufacturer provided us
with an updated shipping estimate. ( Please see attachment)
This email provided a new estimated shipping date and asked
you if you wanted to continue to wait or cancel your order. You responded by
clicking the I’ll continue to wait tab. It also stated, “If
you have not already paid for your order, you will be charged when the items
ship.” It also provided an option to cancel your back order at any time.
When the product arrived on 4/20/23 processed the order and
charged the credit card in which you provided when the initial order was
placed. You then sent a cancellation request and later contacted one of our
representatives claiming that we had stolen from you and that you were filing a
police report and a BBB complaint.
We apologize for any confusion with this matter and for any
inconvenience this may have caused you. We provided you with the information as
it was received from the manufacturer, followed your request to keep the
product on order and was in the process of getting ready to ship the item when
you contacted us to then cancel the order.
We cancelled the item as requested and processed a refund.
Refunds are electronically transmitted back to the payment source and can take
3-5 days to process depending on the customers banking institution.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:
The anticipated date was a revolving door and changed constantly with no credible way to plan for delivery. At a minimum you should call the party prior to charging their card on any item that is 30 days backordered. Poor business practices on Summits part. ****** encounters similar issues and is in constant contact with the customer. Lesson learned and its great to see places like ****** beating you on price and offering free shipping.
Get up to speed Summit or fall by the wayside, you aren't the only game in town......

All I want is for summit racing to replace the defective engine headers I purchased from them or a refund so I can replace the headers myselfBusiness Response
Date: 04/10/2023
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention and
affording us the opportunity to respond to your letter. Feedback from our
customers plays a very important role in our company’s mission.
Mr. ******* had initially been in contact with us via email
and stated he was having an issue with a set of headers he purchased. Our
representative asked him for an invoice number in which he stated that he did
not have a receipt and that we could look it up on the computer. After much
back and forth, it was later determined that the part in question was actually
under another person’s profile. The purchase was made by a ***** ****** in
November of 2021.
Mr. ******* included photos stating that the shine and
coating came off his ceramic coated headers after twenty minutes of starting
and breaking in his new motor. As you can see from the article below, there is
a specific process that needs to be followed to break in ceramic coated headers
to ensure they cure properly and to maintain their appearance. One of the very
most important rules is to NEVER use ceramic coated headers to break in a new
motor. Please see the other instructions below.
Q: How do I break in my new headers?
…
A: Most ceramic coated
headers will come partially cured. The following
break-in procedure will help to fully cure the coating. The same procedure will
also help freshly painted headers.
Curing
Coated Headers
Install the headers according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Make sure the parking break is set
and the vehicle is in neutral.
Start the engine. Run it up to
1,500-2,000 rpm.
When the engine reaches operating
temperature, continue to run between 1,000-2,500 rpm for about five
minutes.
Turn the engine off and let it cool
down.
Repeat steps 3-6.
Take the car for an easy drive
(30-45 minutes).
Turn the engine off and let it cool
down.
Repeat steps 3-5 again.
WHY SHOULD I CURE MY HEADERS?
Fully curing your header coating will help it
last longer.
No coating is 100-percent guaranteed forever.
All coatings will fade and eventually allow corrosion to form. How long the
coating lasts depends on many factors. Individual results may vary.
…
Important
Note: NEVER break in a new or rebuilt engine
with ceramic coated headers. Excessive heat will damage the coating and void
the warranty.
When you break in a new camshaft, lifters, and
piston rings, excessive heat is produced. Ignition timing and
carburetor jetting can also cause the engine to run hot.
Do not install your ceramic coated headers
until after the engine is broken-in and properly tuned. We recommend you use an
old set of headers or manifolds for engine break-in.
In addition, the manufacturer’s warranty states:
Warranty
****'s Headers warrants that their products will be free
from defects in material and workmanship for a period of 1 year. The use of
header wrap voids this warranty, and rust is not covered under this warranty.
When our representatives provided Mr. ******* with the
details, he threatened to and later filed a complaint with the BBB.
Another of our representatives contacted Mr. ******* on the
phone to discuss the matter. When once again presented with this information,
Mr. ******* proceeded to go on a profanity laced verbal rebuttal and terminated
the call. Our representative attempted to call back to discuss the matter in a
calm and professional manner and was sent directly to his voicemail.
While we appreciate Mr. ******’s past patronage, his request
for a replacement or full refund is unreasonable and unrealistic given the fact
that the product is over a year past the manufacturer's warranty and the
procedures in which to ensure the product cures properly were not followed. The
most important being to never break in a new or rebuilt motor with ceramic
coated headers. We were more than willing to work with Mr. ******* and offer a
discount for another set, but as previously mentioned, were never given the
opportunity due to his termination of the phone call. It’s important to note
that if the steps aren’t followed properly, regardless of who he purchases a
set from, the same result would likely occur.Customer Answer

Purchased item from company was told before proceeding with order that the tire carrier was included with the bumper. Then confirmed with a customer service rep that it was included. Unfortunately I did not receive the tire carrier and agents refused to send me my complete order. Summit racing later corrected the website to show that’s the tire carrier is not includedBusiness Response
Date: 03/10/2023
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention and
affording us the opportunity to respond to your letter. Feedback from our
customers plays a very important role in our company’s mission.
We apologize for any inconvenience with your order. The tire
carrier is not included with the part number that was purchased. The product
was not shown as being included in the photographs. We did have an error on the
description stating it was included. That part by itself retails for $1089. An
offer was made to reduce price of the part in question by 20% taking it down to
our cost. We also informed you that we could have the part in your possession picked
up and process a full refund for it if you chose to do so.
You later contacted us and requested return labels for the
boxes. The labels were issued and when the product returns, a full refund will
be provided.
We once again apologize for any inconvenience and
miscommunication on our part. As conspicuously stated in our print catalogs as
well as our terms of business on our, errors in description, photography,
pricing, or typographical errors are subject to correction. The description has since been corrected.Customer Answer

They sold me this item for over $40 bucks, heat shield for cold air intake, I get a 12”x12” piece in, and call and ask where is all the parts and further more this doesn’t match picture at all, the picture is all one piece, spoke to manager she said well if you could read it says 12” x12” piece. I said well if you expect me to turn this into a cold air intake heat shield it would work on my daughters Barbie Jeep. She charges me restocking fee, and for return label.

We found absolutely no credibility to the customers
complaint.
The customer claims he was mislead due to the photos on the
web site. We use the exact same photos and pictures as the vendor does on
their website. This is a 12 x 12 sheet of insulation. One of
the photos depicts what can be made of it, but the customer had to realize this
as he ordered a quantity of two.
The recorded call was found, and our representative spoke to the customer in a
very professional manner explaining the description of the product despite the
customer’s demeanor.
A return label was issued, and the customer has already been
refunded in full for the products and tax. The handling fee was also refunded.The screen shot the customer included clearly states the description of the product, size and quantity.

On Dec. 14,2022, I purchased a transmission and when it arrived, it was damaged. I contacted Summit Racing and was told they would only send 1 replacement. When the replacement arrived, it was in worse condition than the first one. The second transmission had broken out of the box and had concrete jammed in The input shaft and the transmission no longer spins freely.
The delivery company was FedEx and they provided a damage report before the item was taken off the truck. I was instructed to contact FedEx and file a claim. Upon doing so, they stated the contract between Summit and FedEx prevented me from filing a claim on my own behalf. I was then instructed to contact Summit Racing.
After contacting Summit racing, I was told, I would be cut off and they would NOT be sending a replacement and I needed to send my documentation to an email address Provided by summit.
After providing all of the documentation, sending it to the email address provided, and following up multiple times, no one would respond or offer a resolution.
Since this one part was over $3,000, I grew very frustrated and filed a claim with my credit card company. I have received a call today from a Summit agent stating they will not send the other parts I ordered. Since I ordered the transmission, I have ordered several other parts. So now that I have paid for other parts, they refuse to ship them to me and refuse to sell me additional parts in the future.
I have worked for the department of consumer affairs for sec years and this is a violation of “good faith business practices”. At this point, Summit racing is clearly trying to blackmail me and discriminate against me.
I would like the BBB to step in and rectify this situation before I have to contact my ARAG (CA state appointed legal counsel).
I expect something will be done in a timely manner.

I purchased a clutch off their website. The website said 5 in stock and expected to ship out today. I also paid extra for expedited shipping. After my purchase was completed I received a confirmation email saying my clutch was back ordered and not going to ship for 2 weeks. I double checked their website which said 4 left in stock. I called customer service about this and was told it’s in stock in a different warehouse and therefore won’t ship out for sometime. The only reason I purchased and paid for expedited shipping is cause it was supposedly in stock.Business Response

Good Afternoon Mr. *****,
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention and
affording us the opportunity to respond to your letter. Feedback from our
customers plays a very important role in our company’s mission.
Summit Racing Equipment carries the most comprehensive line
of products in the after-market industry. While we strive to have the most
popular items in stock and on our shelves, occasionally an item will have to be
back ordered. This may be a result of an item being a special order, or as
simple as the manufacturer experiencing difficulties in supplying us with the
part in a timely manner. This may be due in part to delays in manufacturing or
the possible need of parts necessary to build the items.
We order directly from the manufacturers themselves, which
under normal circumstances translates to a very fast response time. In some
cases, unfortunately the delay can be longer. In this case, the manufacturer,
**** **** did not have a cam core available for this particular engine
application. We conducted a conference call with them on Friday and shared our
frustration that one of our customers had been waiting for so long. We asked if
they could seek an alternative supplier of a cam core in order to resolve the
matter. They informed us on Monday that the were able to obtain one and would
immediately get it ground and shipped with the rest of your kit this week.
I am pleased to inform you that I just received confirmation
that your kit did indeed ship directly from them to you. Below is a link with
the tracking information. It currently shows it should be delivered tomorrow.
We apologize for any inconvenience these delays may have
caused you. We look forward to continuing to provide you with all your high
performance and replacement part needs.

We have spoke with the customer and provided him with the attached image we received from Paypal for the transaction in question. While we are very sorry that Mr. ***** is having difficulties with his order, we received the order via Paypal and shipped to the verified address on the screen. Paypal shows this to be a verified address by the consumer and according to their seller protection policy, the dispute in question should be with Paypal.
When we spoke with Mr. ***** he stated that he filed a complaint against both us and Paypal. The document also shows he currently has an open dispute with them on the transaction in question. No address or order modifications were made on our end other than a price match refund of $13.50 when he placed the order and prior to shipping.

Purchased exhaust kit from Summit Racing website on 11/ 22. ( A Christmas gift for our son, who would be coming from out of state to visit for Christmas.)
My Credit card was charged 621.00 same day order was placed. We also called Summit Racing to confirm the order, and be sure we would have the gift delivered on time - we spoke to
Sales rep who confirmed the ship date as advertised on the website (ship date Dec 16 and would recieve Dec 20th.) Order in the next 2 hours to have before date) (deceitful hook) We Never received the purchased items. We called to have a tracer put on it. We finally called back a day later after no return calls. It was on back order and we wouldn't get it for 5 months (even though the website now said order now to recieve by Jan 16th. . I called 6 times Dec 20th and was either left on hold, or transferred to a recording
or disconected. I asked to talk to a manager. None were available. I told them to cancel the order and have a manager call me to refund my credit card . They had my funds for 30 days already. I was left on hold. I called again and was left on hold for 25 min by a female in customer service, who was extremely rude, I finally hung up.
Truth in Advertising Consumer Law states that false, misleading, or deception practices is illegal when selling merchandise on website, ads, . False Advertising of expected ship dates (order now to recieve by " this date) violates Consumer Protection Act.
We were never told it was a special order, nor "back order". This was pure deceptive practices. I asked for a credit to my card and didn't get one-I was told we would get a call back from a manager, (everyone was on the phone) I never got a call back from a manager or anyone. We were promised verbally abd stated in wroting that we would recieve the item before Xmas.
