I bought an engine for *******. The engine was locked, two certified mechanics tried the engine. I called and then received an email and the procedures to send back. I sent back and finally had to check with the return carrier to make sure they received it. So now they are saying they will not refund because warranty was not completed. This is a lie, everything was done as per their procedures. This company has over 620 complaints from bbb and trust reviews. We need class action to close them down!Business Response

On February 27th I placed an order for a 2010 dodge journey engine with swengines the amount totaling $2070. About 3 weeks later received an email saying the engine is being shipped and that I will receive a follow up email with the tracking information said email was never received. Contacted swengines to get an update they said that the engine is still at the facility and that they will email me with follow up information. Once again no information was received contacted them again they said they will once again send me updated information via email when they find out whats going on I was fed up at this point told them I wanted to cancel my order and get a refund due to it being 2 months since my order was placed. April 5th is when I canceled my order, and filed a dispute with my bank. April 28th, no refund and still havent heard from swengines nor has my bank.Business Response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
After reviewing the response from SW engines information they are stating is inaccurate. The purchase date was 02/27/2023. Cancellation/refund date was 04/5/2023. On 03/21/2023 they stated the used engine was loaded on the truck and ready to ship. Also stated they were waiting on tracking information. Tracking information was never received nor any update on shipping until after cancellation was requested in which the freight company called me and informed me they will figure out what was going on with my merchandise on 04/5/2023. Today 05/08/2023 I still not have received any information or update on my refund.

On January 5, we ordered an engine from SW Engines. When we received the engine, we performed a leak down test before installing as we did not want to jeopardize the warranty. We found the engine to not be in good condition and reached out regarding returning it and getting a refund. We were requested to take a photo of the stock number of the engine by ********************* in the Warranty Department. We sent this as she requested on Feb 20th, provided the pictures on Feb 21. **** stated that it was forwarded to her manager and they would provide updates. We called on March 1st for a status update and got hung up on multiple times. We then sent an email the same day. We called again on March 5th and was told a manager would contact us. No one did. We called again March 26 and were advised we could get a refund and would we like to keep the engine. We were also sent an email that within ***** hours a manager would respond to "make things right." And given a ticket number. No one contacted us. We sent another email and told someone would contact us in 5-7 days. It has been over that and we want our refund as we followed their rules by not installing the engine, and contacting them within the 5 day period.Business Response

I ordered an engine online that is advertised like it is wrapped and and ready to go with ****** miles. **** ordered I waited 2 weeks and still the engine had not shipped.

On 2/4/2023, I ordered a transmission ($2095) from ******* DBA Engine Shoppers, and it arrived two weeks later at the car shop to be installed. After the mechanic installed the engine and reprogrammed it, the codes failed. I was sent a faulty transmission. I immediately contacted the warranty company that partners with for replacements (SWengines), and it has been a disaster. The customer service team is horrible, the supervisor is never available and they never call back with an update, after a month, they continuously tell me they are waiting on a response from the insurance company. After two weeks of constant emailing, I am now getting bounced around to representatives (**************, and *************************) who do not respond to emails or phone calls. I have constantly emailed informing them I have no transportation and I am accruing shop fees as my car has been sitting in the shop for almost 2 months.

I dont understand where they are getting this assumption that I drove the car. I CAN NOT drive a car if the transmission will not program to the car, it WONT move. I have attached the diagnostic report that I sent to the company MULTIPLE times showing the transmission codes failed when the tech tried to program it, making it UNABLE for me to drive, the car is STILL sitting at the shop after almost 2 months because it is NOT drivable since they sent a faulty transmission. In addition, NO ONE has called me to discuss this matter, I am getting scarce communication through emails and the warranty rep keeps saying this issue will have to be escalated - but no one has ever called me to actually discuss this issue, so I am not sure what they "reviewed", to determine the car was driven, I NEVER said that the car was driven, as a matter of fact, I have emails telling "*******" who was hired as 3rd party consultant, telling him the car never the left the shop because the transmission, would not program to my car. Again the diagnostic report is attached.

Per the complainants rebuttal, there is no diagnostic report attached. We would request that the diagnostic report be attached so we can provide a response to the rebuttal.
The complainant purchased a used transmission from us on 02/04/2023 and is requesting replacement.
The complainant purchased a used transmission on 02/04/2023 and the transmission was shipped out on 02/13/2023. The complainant alleges that the transmission was faulty.The complainant alleges that they did have the transmission reprogrammed and it would not go forward.
After review, we determined that the transmission was not programmed before driving and the Free Warranty was void. We would ask that the complainant please send proof that it was reprogrammed before driving.
We do hope this closes the matter and please let us know if you need any further information from us.

I dont understand why you can't view the report that I keep sending, I am attaching the report again, but at this point we are going in circles regarding this situation. It would be helpful if someone would call me (as I've requested serval times) or provide me with a direct email address so that I can send this report to.
