Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have 12 pages of suppoting documents. the short version is that i purchased an engine from the above-mentioned company that was defective. i filed a claim on 11/16/01, only eight days after the engine was installed. they sent me a new part after many weeks and many days of accrued rental car expenses, for which they promised to pay. after the part was installed, they only agreed to pay for a small percentage of what they had promised, and, then, within less than 2,000 miles and two months, the part failed again. at this point, my mechanic advised me of 10 engines purchased from this company that had to be returned because they, too, were defective, and he suggested that i return my engine for a complete refund of parts and labor in the amount of $2,998.60.*ak
