    Please be advised there are two camshafts that could go into this unit. We selected the wrong one. We advised customer to send the engine back. We will replace cam and send it back to him. We will also pay for the removal and reinstallation under terms and conditions of the warranty. He would not send the engine back. So if he could please send the wrong cam back to us and we will pay for the removal and reinstallation of the engine under terms and condition of warranty.

    I ordered a remanufactured engine for my 2017 **** F150 from Accurate Engines on January 4th and the engine that was delivered was not the correct engine for my truck. I returned the engine to them and they received it on 1/26/24. I have been waiting two weeks for a check in the mail because they stated they could not just put it back on my card because they had it split out for the shipping costs with R&L carriers. I have called several times in the past 4 days with no answer and the voice mail boxes state that they are full. I have also sent Emails to ****************************** with no reply. My invoice number is ***** and they owe me $5834.00 for the reimbursement. The number for them in ************.

    I had to buy a new engine for my pickup truck. That one had problems. I took it to get it fixed. My mechanic could have fixed it in three days for $1800. They told him we had to send the new engine to them. They also told him it would be a 48 hour turn around for the job not including shipping. It has taken a week or two anytime I have needed to get a hold of them. They have had the new engine for over a month. My truck has been sitting on a rack at the mechanics without an engine.

    Sent me a defective engine. The freeze plug was old and rusted out leaking coolant into the oil and caused the oil and water to mix. It also has old timing chain guides on the same side of the engine as the freeze plug. So there was no way this engine was ever tested properly. Per our agreement they were suppose to rebuild my engine and send it back to me. Accurate sent this defective one instead. Didn't notify me they were doing that. My mechanic had to go back in and try to fix the problem. Order new timing chain guides and freeze plugs. The timing chain cover and the oil pan on the engine I sent them was shipped back to me not clean and inspected. *** the Salesmen hung up on me. When I tried to report the problem. Now Accurate want answer my phone calls or emails. *****.

    Bought a engine from them. Had it professionally installed. Engine drove 450 miles before internal catastrophic failure due to bad timing chain. Engine has zero compression in all cylinders, I called and warranty will not answer, mail box full, talked with *** the sales man and he got mad and hung up on me when I told him that warranty won't answer. I bought a product they sold, it failed because of their poor workmanship, and I get yelled at for having the issue . This engine is in my buisness truck. I no longer have a buisness with out this truck. This is costing me tens of thousands due to lack of workmanship in there product.

    I am rejecting this response because: Purchased engine in November 2023, went 462 miles then blew up. Company won't answer my calls for 5 months and ignored the fact that there is a warranty, paid another person local to rebuild it and forget about there warranty, my issue is that I have not received my 500 core deposit back and I have proof they received the core November 18th 2023. It is now 7-17-2023 and I don't have my 500 dollar core check. 9 month later and I'm still feeling the burn from ************ as my truck has not ran since Novemberof 2023. There are so many news cast and complaints on this company in multiple states, and 1 star reviews accross the board I don't know how they are not sued and out of buisnness. The owners are crooks and work for the devil!

    Sincerely,

    This customer was issued a check for his core refund on 8/3/2024 for $500.00. Attached is a copy of the credit memo for the refund, and the check number is No. ******. The customer should receive this in the mail shortly to the address we have on file, which is *********************************************. We apologize for the delay of this core refund, and that the customer feels as if he were ignored. If he needs anything else please reach our office at ************. I only show one email from him back in December 6, 2023 and show no call history from him. This was not intentional and we do apologize, please text or call that number if the customer needs any further assistance.

    I bought an engine for my Dodge Durango from the above name company. I sent them the old bat Engine to receive a court charge, which I never received back.. then the Engine that they sent me I had an installed by an ASE certified mechanic and it was no good. he reached out to the company and I assured us that they would replace it and pay the cost to have it pulled out and put back in if we would send them back. We shipped it back to them. At this point they have stopped responding to all phone calls and emails or any correspondence I have had to eat the cost of the mechanic they have my Engine my core charge their engine that I bought and I have not received any money back, any intentions of making this, right. I am three or four months into this and I cannot get anything from this company.

    I paid in full for a engine on May 30, 2023. Was told would be complete in couple weeks. When I reached out and finally got to speak with someone they said they were waiting on a part. So after a few weeks tried reaching out again to begin getting the run around. Finally got a hold of production manager and said I wanted a complete refund. He said he didn't blame me. Since then can't reach anyone by calls, email, or mail. So November 18, 2023 NO ENGINE NO MONEY.

    My husband's truck engine is under warranty. We took it to a shop, who sent mounds of pictures and documentation regarding the engine. Payment needed but not completed by AE. Accurate Engines approved it and had the shop remove and send the engine for repair. ** returned it corrected to the shop to be placed back in the truck. We had constant contact via email with AE, until we requested payment. Due to their lack of response, we had to pay the shop almost $500 to be able to pick up the truck. We have spent thousands on this claim and have not received any payments for anything. Suddenly, they stopped communicating with us and its been months since this all started. They owe us upwards of $3000 from start to finish.
