  This is ******* and **** *******. We have been advised by ********** Motor Sports in *********, KY that upon inspection of our 2018 Razor Turbo Xp, that it will need the engine replaced once again. The first engine blew up on April 28, 2022, it was sent to ********** the next day. ********** ordered a remanufactured engine from your company it was installed by ********** and we were able to pick it up finally on or about October 21, 2022. The timeline of events between when we brought it until when we could pick it up in October 6 months later was a tangled trail of issues between the inspectors, the shipping or whatever but we did not have use of our UTV for the next 6 months. On October 24, (3 days later) we discovered that the engine case had been welded even though we had paid for, out of pocket, $850.00 for NEW NOT USED engine cases. We contacted ********** they picked up the unit and took to their facility and they advised us that NFlow was sending a replacement engine in an attempt to warranty that engine. December 15, two months later, we were able to bring home our SXS once again. December 22, 7 days later, it blew an intercooler suspected to be from excessive pressure from a leaking head gasket. Back to ********** on December 30, 2022. We paid $1027.00 out of our own pocket (see attached invoice) to avoid the long delays in dealing with the warranty inspectors and shipping and whatever else excuses for delays. We were finally able to pick up our SXS on March 25, we are now 11 months from the original breakdown date, we have had it in our possession a total of 10 operable days. May 6 Engine knocking. No smoke, just knocking like a rod cap had came off the crank. We called ********** they came to pick the unit the next day because they were told they had to do yet another inspection. In all 3 motors there was a combined less than 200 miles. ********** contacted us and advised that they had requested a refund because we told them we do not want another motor from NFlow. They told us that the person they spoke to at Nflow denied their request for refund. At this time, we are asking for a payout in the amount of $6029.48 We have enclosed a quote for the cost of a used motor from a different company. We haven’t chosen to purchase a brand new motor and at this time, we are willing to accept this price to resolve any future claims and waive any right to future claims regarding this matter in an effort to make this go away. We have no desire or intention of having another defective part shipped, installed and again returned, based on the history of the quality of product you have provided to us. We feel this claim is more than reasonable and the situation can be resolved quickly and easily. Otherwise, we will seek the advice from an attorney and pursue for damages, loss of use of equipment, labor, new engine, and undue emotional distress and loss of one year from our manufacturer warranty while it sat broke down. We are very reasonable people and we would anticipate that this situation can be settled. This is our only correspondence in writing and please respond in writing with your intentions. Our home address for all mailings is ******* and **** ******* *** * ***** Street ****, KY *****. Or you can contact ********** motorsports for communications, we will not accept another refurbished engine from your business. Thanking you in advance, ****** & **** *******

  I purchased a reman engine from Inflow for my 900 Polaris ranger. Inflow sent the engine to the Polaris dealer for installation. The old engine was running when it was removed so the core was a running core. Nflow said they would credit the core charge back once they receive the core and inspect it to make sure it was a good core. The core was shipped back to nflow Dec. 30 of 22. Nflow kept telling it would be about 2 weeks for the credit. It is now Feb 3rd and still no credit. After multiple text and conversations with nflow they continued to tell me I would have it by end of the week. Still no credit. I am going to start legal actions against Nflow.

  Had a local shop diagnose my 2016 Polaris ranger 900. After review the timing chain tensioner went bad. He told me it would be 7000 for a rebuilt motor and hopefully get a core charge back. Few months later I got the motor back. After a couple days a light came on my machine it was hot. Checked oil it had none showing on dipstick Took it back to the shop They said it must have been a bad gasket. Brought it home and same thing happened. I ran it out of oil again. Shop finally found the culprit. Inflow put to long of a guid pin in the case allowing it to not seal the motor. So I have ran it out of oil twice and now the motor is ruined. The shop that had inflow rebuild the motor will not do anything I purchased a extended warranty for 500 dollars. All this happened in warranty. I do not run the machine hard it is used on the farm with cows. They told us to bad not our problem.
