  On 12/12/22 we ordered an 3.8L engine from Accurate Engine for our 2010 Jeep. Accurate Engine took over a month to deliver the engine to Sieplinga Automotive who we hired to install the new engine. Sieplinga Automotive installed the engine and then immediately contacted us to inform us there was something wrong with the upper portion of the engine. ********* requested payment for the work they did and advised us to contact Accurate to inform them of the faulty engine. We paid ********* and then contacted Accurate to inform them the engine they sent had issues and was faulty. Accurate stated they would send someone out to inspect the engine. Several weeks went by before Accurate sent someone, the individual they sent agreed the engine was bad. They stated they would have the Jeep and engine taken to there place of business. Weeks went by and we had to keep calling them. They THEN stated they wanted our mechanic to remove the engine and they would pick it up. Our mechanic would only agree to this if he was being paid, they never discussed payment but our mechanic did remove the engine. It took weeks for them to pick the engine up and they were suppose to send out a replacement. They have not done that! It is now April 24, ********************************* December 2022. We have been trying for over 4 moths to get this taken care of. They keep making excuses. They now refuse to answer the phone and the mailbox is full so you cannot leave a message. There email address ******************************** also does not work. Our Jeep is still sitting at the mechanic's without an engine and he has been storing it for over 4 months! We are out the money for the engine, out the money for the install, and now without any engine.

  on August 10th 2021, I purchased a motor for a 2011 ram **** from Accurate Engines for a customer in the amount of $4,000. The first time receiving the engine it immediately leaked coolant from the head gasket. I called Accurate Engines and after many attempts was told to let it warm up and do some drive cycles and this should cause the gasket to seal properly. This was not the case, instead it continued to leak. On top of that it had a misfire on cylinder 6. I took it to a local automotive shop who spent hours trying to diagnose the issue and to ensure there was no issue with the install. They checked the fuel system, checked for any air leaks etc. all was found to be ok. They thought it was something internal or the **** I purchased a ECM from a local parts dealer and that did not solve the problem. After weeks of trying to get ahold of Accurate Engines I finally got ahold of someone and scheduled a warranty repair. In June of 2022 almost one year later they finally arranged for the engine to be picked up. I informed them of the misfire, the leaking cylinder head, and it also was leaking from rear main seal. The merchant sent the engine back in July claiming all had been fixed. I installed the engine once again, this time the cylinder head was not leaking but the engine still had the same misfire and was still leaking from rear main seal. I once again contacted the company and was told it may be the *********** will need to send the engine back. In November of 2022 they arranged for the engine to be picked up once again, after working on my engine for only one workday I get an email saying they shipped the engine back. Once received, I installed it to find out it is still not fixed. I have tried contacting the company and have received no response, the voicemail is full and there are countless reviews from customers going through the same agony as me. To get the customer their vehicle I am forced to rebuild the engine myself at my own cost.

  Please send engine back for a refund or repair at no charge. If you fixed the problem please send us an invoice explaining the repair of an internal problem and we will pay per your warranty agreement.

  ************** was told the 4 holes in the top of the engine needed to be blocked off. We have told him this several times. Chrysler part # ****-2221 AA

  He also issued a charge back with us on 12/8/2022

  This is the customers complaint along with the shipping date/ tracking #

  Shipped 10/17/22 PRO/Tracking #********-1
   Mon, Oct 24, 
  On invoice #*****, for *********************, in ************, **, the installer is saying that the incorrect engine was delivered.  Something about it being a newer engine, like 2009 and newer, whereas mine engine is a **** and does not have the cyl. intake ports or whatever that is??

  Customer still has engine and it is the correct engine he just needs to plug those 4 holes. He has been advised to do this several times.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  As Accurate Engines indicated, they did not ship the right nor completed engine and required me to purchase parts that should have been supplied with the engine purchase.  They only responded saying what we needed to purchase AFTER many vmails and texted which we have documented to our CC company.

   

  We went ahead and purchased the parts they did not supply like they should have, and only then could the engine be installed.

  IMMEDIATELY upon install the engine did not and would not show any oil pressure and after installing ADDITIONAL parts that could have been a part of that failure, the engine would not show/pump any oil.

  As a result, I left multiple messages for Accurate Engines who failed to respond to any requests for info.

  As a result of their failure to respond, and my continued loss of truck usage for over 2 plus months, I paid to have the engine removed (after having paid to have it installed in the first place), and again after multiple calls had their engine shipped back to them in December.

  Finally, I have been required to purchase another engine for more money that has now been installed and started and worked immediately upon installation, without any issues.

   

  We expect a full refund from Accurate Engines including the cost of shipping both ways and the core deposit.  A total of $3884.  

  Thank you,

  Sincerely,

  To add to the previous response, this part we never supply because it can only be bought from the dealership. The part number is provided in the previous message. This is the only course of action we can take because this part is necessary for the completion of the engine.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  Accurate Engines advertised complete engines and when questioned about the missing parts, said they could send them to us or we could buy them ourselves.  They even called and put a parts person on the phone who gave the part number but said they didn't have any right then so we decided that the only way to move forward was to buy the parts ourselves, at our own added expense.  

  We did so, but ultimately the engine would not pump oil and after attempting, again, to get a response from Accurate, leaving numerous voice mails and text, without any response, we had to pull the engine and send it back to them for a complete refund.....which they have yet to acknowledge even though it was returned last month.

  
  
  Sincerely,

  Purchased a reman 5.7L Hemi , including installation, for $4,584.52 on 7/2/2021. Engine began using 1 quart of oil / week after 30 days. November 8th 2021 I submitted a warranty claim online. No response. Truck engine is now using 2 quarts of oil/week and spews white smoke after starting. December 12th 2021 E mailed *** in sales regarding this issue. No response.5/23/2022 E mailed ***** to try and get this resolved. No response. I can go on and on with this same pattern that I have went through. I have every interaction documented in a Word Doc. since purchasing this engine. Dropped my truck off 3 times, only to be told they did not have the time to look at it. I own one vehicle and have to get rides every time I drop it off. The last time I dropped off the truck for repair was 10/4/2022. I picked up the truck on 10/6 after they called and said it was done. After looking at the paperwork they gave me, looks like they only changed the oil. No description that anything was done. Drove truck for one week and still using 2 quarts of oil / week. In addition to that, spews white smoke when starting. I have reached out to Accurate numerous times to get this resolved in the past year and as I keep telling them, I have been very patient.
