I had file a complaint and received a semi response from Johnson rv. The person who responded ******************************* sent me a message and gave me the name of *********************** who is the financial person who is in charge of giving me a refund on my extended warranty that is usless since they will not fix anything. *********************** sent me forms to fill out for my money back for my warranty. I sent them back with all of the required documents he requested. I also sent them to the warranty company who said this was a Johnson rv issue and I had to deal With them. No problem except NO one will return my email or my calls. I have called *********************** and left several voice mails and sent several email regarding my money back. I have not received anything. I want my $5500 back. I jumped through their hoops and sent what they needed. Now I am filing yet another complaint.Business Response

We bought ****** from Johnson RV in *************. We paid $150,000 and another $5,500 for an extended warranty because it is a used **. When we went and looked at the ** we found a few things wrong. The batteries needed replaced, there was a broken piece in the shower, one of the doors was cracked. We mentioned to the sales person about these little issues and he assured us they would be taken care of. When we took position of the ** about two weeks later we drove it ********************************************************** for the next month. Once there and the second night we heard a HUGE water leak under the **. When we looked the whole wet bay was flooding. We had to shut the water off and call Johnson RV the next day. ***** sent a ***** repair person up to fix it. Great. While **** was here we had him check the batteries because it looked like they had not been changed out. They had not. The ones that were in there were bad and we were lucky he had some in his van. He replaced them. Two weeks later the water started leaking again. We moved 26 miles north when, for the third time the water line erupted. We called Johnson RV to set up a time for them to have ****** and go over everything that was wrong. We sent ***** a email with a list of all the things that were wrong. He assured us that he would have them fixed. We left ****** at their facility for 10 days. I called and emailed ***** 3 times over the 10 days to see how things were going. I received no replay. When we went to get the ** after the 10 days nothing was fixed on it. Not ONE thing. We had to have the ** Tech come back to our camp site and fix everything. Over **** worth of work. I have emailed them 3 times and have not received any response. I want my money back. $5500 for the extended warranty that they refuse to honor and $**** we have had to spend on repairs. I have emailed them several times with no response. Its been almost a year.Business Response

Ordered an ** in March 2021 from Johnson RV, *****, ******. The ** finally arrived and we made the purchase of the brand new ** on October 17th 2022. When completing the purchase agreement and loan documents with the Finance Manager AB, at the end he was pushing for the purchase of an extended warranty. We had already done our extended warranty research, but listened to what he had, to use as comparison. I had asked the Finance Manager several questions regarding the extended warranty, such as "Maximum amount of claims and Maximum claim costs" and "If electrical wiring, electrical components and computer touch screens were included", he answered positively and the extended warranty seemed like a good deal with good coverage. Finance Manager said that we could cancel the extended warranty at any time. We signed paperwork and were off.Over the next 48 hours, I reviewed the extended warranty in great detail and found that the Finance Manager was not making accurate or correct statements about the above warranty. On October 19th 2022, I personally spoke with Finance Manager **, to cancel the extended warranty as it didn't cover what I had asked and that Finance Manager AB, had made false claims and statements about the warranty coverage. Purchased extended warranty of $9874.00 on 10/17/22. Cancelled warranty 10/19/22 via phone call with ** Johnson RV. Contract States "up to 45 days for refund". As of 11/29/22, 40 days after cancellation, Johnson RV still had not sent cancellation paperwork to ****************** Group. Numerous phone calls/voice mails and emails to both Finance Managers ** and AB, are not returned, no reply to emails. $9874.00 still has not been returned and applied to my loan amount. Over 6 weeks now 12/5/2022 and funds still have not been returned/applied to loan.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:This is an untrue statement from Johnson RV. Exactly why I am reaching
out to the BBB and legal representation if this continues to go nowhere and they continue to hold my money.
My calls go unanswered, my voicemails to both ******* and ****** are
not returned and emails inquiries are not responded to. They have made
zero attempt to return my calls. We are now 2 months after the
cancellation and Johnson RV is still holding my $9875.00. This money
has not yet been credited to my loan or check sent out (as of today 12/12/2022. Very
unprofessional business practices.
Sincerely,

We purchased an extended warranty on 6/18/2022 on our brand new RV with a 60 day 100% refund guarantee minus any claims. We contacted Johnson RV within 3 days due to a leaking faucet and no one returned our call. We contacted the warranty company and they informed us our RV warranty was not in compliance due to missing information from Johnson RV. Regardless, we immediately requested a cancellation of the policy on 6/21/2022 and returned a signed document to PWC Insurance in ****************, **. They acknowledged our request and advised 45 day to refund our money from Johnson RV. As of today, August 10th, we have received nothing from Johnson RV. They have not responded to our phone calls or emails. We need help getting our refund.Business Response

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.I will point out that we were informed by the warranty company, PWC, who mailed their portion to JRV on July 7th, our $5k refund was mailed August 18th. The postmark on the envelope shows August 24th, the same day we were called by the finance director. He also claimed the check was mailed the 18th. Its most unfortunate JRV resorts to such deceptive practices and chooses to alienate a first -time customer. Shameless.
Sincerely,
