      The wheels disintegrated on my Green ******** grill a couple years after purchasing it. For the past year I've been in touch with Green ******** Grills trying to buy replacement wheels, and for the last year I've been told they are on "back order" and they can't provide any date when they will come in. I think it's misleading and unethical to sell a $1000 grill and not be able to provide simple replacement parts for it.

      The company responded they would "look into it and get back to me soon" however, I have never heard another word from them.  They have never attempted to contact me, so you should not list this complaint as "closed" or "resolved" because it isn't.  Thanks.

      We received a defective unit. We reported this it to the company as it was within warranty. Its been three years and the company has consistently refund to reimburse us for the grill or simple replace it with a working unit.

      Complaint: 21373233

      I am rejecting this response because:

      The product we received is DEFECTIVE, it left warehouse drilled in an incorrect way. We have replaced four pieces and have spent two years trying to get this device to work properly. We have previously worked to determine the issues without resolution. We found the issue within warranty and given the timeframe and customer service response we will only be satisfied with a replacement with the working grill attached, a cash payment of the value of the grill or a company credit/ check refund of the original cost plus reimbursement for our time and repair costs. 
      This has been a terrible experience and Id also love to discuss my issues with the way the warranty claim was handled with ********************* the director as soon as possible.

      Complaint: 21373233

      I am rejecting this response because:

      We were not even sent all the necessary parts for this repair as the shipping slip indicates that the parts are on a back order.

      The customer service was hostile and in the course of the call said they normally would refer the customer back to the retailer for a replacement. We were convinced to do the repair rather than swap the whole unit and were told if the repair didnt work we could swap it later. It hasnt ever worked properly. It should have been exchanged as soon as the company realized it was defective as it left their distribution center drilled incorrectly. We have had to repair the defective product four times already. We are trying to be understanding but this is unacceptable. This product should be recalled if it isnt being produced correctly which clearly is was as there are records where the company acknowledges the parts were needed for the repairs while still in warranty.

      Kindly reconsider sending a working grill or a refund given the issues reported.



      Sincerely,

      Complaint: 21373233

      I am rejecting this response because:

      As I previously stated. This is a defective unit. It has never properly worked and should have not been sold in the condition we received from this company. Im see the *** isnt even making this item anymore so obviously they are aware of the many issues weve had with the unit.

      Furthermore as this is a grill if the repairs are not done correctly this could be present a safety issue. The last time the repair didnt work the unit presented a fire hazard. If the company would prefer we take the risk and repair it will they be liable should anything happen as there are requesting we the customer make the repair. Should there be injury or a fire caused by the companys instruction will they be liable for future issues?

      We have already fixed this unit four times and the company didnt even send all parts required for the repair as they are out of stock on the lighter needed to make this a working unit.

      Id like to know how many of these units were sold to customers that were reported as defective?

      For the cost of the unit I would expect to receive a working unit. The many issues were reported within warranty. If the company had initially informed us of their mistake in sending this out in its defective state we would have known the unit was this faulty and it we would have returned it, we would have received our money back or been able to purchases a different more reliable product such as a ******* grill which wouldnt have all these issues.

      At one point in the service call we asked the customer service agent if we should just return it and they advised it was a minor repair which would be easier to fix rather than return and that if there were issues it would be covered under the warranty.

      If this doesnt get resolved with the company then there should be further investigation into why these units are not working and a buyer should beware buying these products in the future.

      We did extensive research before purchasing and had something like this been made public we would have gone with a different product.

      I feel like we are being incredibly flexible given the defective unit issue that hasnt been resolved with the company in two years.

      We are simply asking for a refund or a working unit and I do not understand why the company is in such opposition of providing their customers with a working product.

      The customer service agent also said on the call that he wouldnt help us and that it should have been returned previously. I dont feel the company should get to choose who they honor the warranty with and as we are a family or color Im wondering if this is a reason why we have had so many issues in the company helping us.

      Sincerely,

      I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with my experience concerning a Green ******** Grill, which I purchased less than three years ago. The grill has encountered multiple issues, including three power outlet failures, a faulty auger motor, and problematic wiring. I have made numerous attempts to address these issues with Green ******** Grills, but my efforts have only resulted in vague and unhelpful responses.The most concerning problem revolves around the faulty wiring, which I have brought to the company's attention on three separate occasions. Unfortunately, I have not received any response or resolution regarding this critical safety concern. The grill is literally falling apart, making it both unsafe and unusable.I have invested significant time and effort in attempting to repair the grill, often having to replace parts that Green ******** Grills sent to me. This ongoing ordeal has caused immense frustration and wasted countless hours. Given the continuous problems and lack of support, I firmly believe that the only suitable resolution at this point is a replacement grill.I am urgently requesting a response from Green ******** Grills regarding the wiring issue. I insist on a prompt and satisfactory solution to ensure the safety of my family and property. Furthermore, I expect a replacement grill that is free from defects and operational issues. The current grill I have is simply a piece of junk that has caused me considerable distress and inconvenience.

      Green ******** Trek grill was purchased in April of 2023. The grill has not worked since the first two weeks of having the unit. I have been in contact with the manufacturer many times via email to get this issue resolved. They have sent a few parts to try to remedy the problem with no solution. Green ******** has been dodging and not responding to follow-up emails. I have requested a refund of the grill on multiple occasions, all requests have been denied, $423.64

      I have a green mountain grill that failed with operating. It looked like the pellet system was not working and after cleaning out the pallets I found a broken piece of metal wedged into the auger. The metal was from their pallet making machine and it came out of a green mountain bag of pellets. I contacted their customer service and after a week of waiting they finally got back to me and said they would replace all the broken parts, but everything was backordered. Now three months later I finally received the parts, but they didn't order everything. I contacted them again and after a couple weeks they responded back saying they order more parts, but its the same as I received before. The welds are broken on the grill and they are failing to replace. It damaged where it can no longer be used. I told them it needs to be replaced, but they keep saying they will just order parts, but there all on back order. I am tired of waiting and just want the grill replaced. Were going on almost 4 months now with an unusable product that was damaged because of poor quality control.

      My problem with this company is that Ive had multiple problem with a pellet smoker grill from this company. I talked to someone on various occasions for various problems and they keep sending me parts to fix my pellet smoker and it finally died on me after not so many uses. Once again, I got somebody on the phone to talk to about it and they werent necessarily helpful and told me they were gonna send me parts. After my latest equipment failure with their grill they have not responded to texts or phone calls and have not helped me solve this issue and back their product. I was even told once that they would step it up significantly if I had another problem with this grill and now I cant get anybody to get back to me as to what that might be but I told them I needed them to back their product or reimburse me. I firmly believe that they have no other way to fix my issue and decided to ignore it instead of keeping me a happy and satisfied customer. They sold me a faulty product and are ignoring my calls and e-mails. I now have a $799 smoker that hasnt worked in months.

      I am concerned about my case being closed for the reason that after receiving an email that BBB had received my complaint I didnt hear back until I was being told my case was closed. They never reached out. They didnt fix anything. They never emailed or called me. Nothing. The only follow up I received was BBB saying they assumed I was taken care of. I am respectfully asking that my case be reopened, and they be pressed harder to do some thing about the matter at hand I feel like they ghosted me, and for the amount of money I paid for their product and the effort put in to make sure that my #Warranty card was filled out with them, I feel like Ive held up my end. I repeatedly had to ask for parts to fix my grill and then had to go and install these parts on my own. Please let me know what can be done from here. Im feeling so defeated by them and their product.

      I am rejecting this response because I have been promised multiple times that they would resolve this whether it be through Better Business Bureau or through personal contact over the phone. They are not backing their product or helping me find a solution. I am tired of having to work on my own grill and I was told before that they would escalate it much farther since the last repair ended in me having to do multiple parts swaps at once. I am very disappointed in my *********************** smoker.

      Hello, I wrote back in March of 2022 and we are still having issues with the grill randomly turning off. I take very good care of the grill, I follow all of the cleaning procedures and am still having problems. In March of 2022, GMG sent me a new cord. It worked a couple of times and stopped working again. I feel like I am out my $1000 smoker.I have 3 months left of my warranty and this company has been been able to contact me to make the situation right. Grill will start, go through its cycles, and stop working once I put the meat on.I would like a replacement grill or the grill to be fixed. I prefer a replacement as this seems to be a lemon! This has gone on too long. Thank you. Name: ***************************** **/****** Mailing Address (if P.O.
