Customer sent unit for mileage correction/hours. Hour correction completed and customer complained that unit isnt working correctly. Customer sent unit back, we tested it on ********* and unit works fine on our end. My tech did put in original file back, tested the unit and re uploaded the modified file back and unit was working correctly on *********. We initially misquoted this service and actually provided customer a partial refund. Video of unit working on ********* was sent to customer. It is possible the issue isnt in the unit but in the tractor itself- we suggest customer get his tractor diagnosed.Customer response

My instrument cluster was fully operable when sent to have hour correction. Now it does not function. I have sent it to another repair facility. Was told it is programmed incorrectly and that there is damage from possible over voltage put to the instrument cluster. I am currently having it repaired. I think Karman auto meant well in his attempts over months but that being said he would not communicate, so here we are.Customer response

My cluster is inoperative since repairs. Problem verified by ag express electronics. Circuits blown internal and improper programming.Business response

when programming, we dont put voltage therefore this claim is irrelevant. We tested this unit on ********* before sending it out- unit works and reflects correct mileage. Customer claimed unit isnt working and sent it back in. We loaded his original file back on, tested it and then re-loaded new file and per ********* testing, unit works. We sent a video to the customer. If needed, video and email correspondence can be provided to BBB along with both tracking numbers. our program also stores old/new data which we can also provide need be.

Karman Auto provides a service where they will reprogram a *********************** (ECU) and immobilizer (WSP) modules to clear a "no starting" error. The service is still up on their website, and they advertise it on ***** I followed directions on the site and mailed in the parts (including two key fobs), all of which is a value of $700-1000. The service was $275. I can conform they received the parts on January 7, 2023. It is now a month and a half later: February 21. I have called (goes to voicemail), texted and emailed at least a dozen times with no response. I would like my parts back and a refund.Business response

We have your parts and our tech has put in a lot of effort into getting it done but has not been successful.

Date of transaction 9/08/2022 I sent my air bag module for reset to Karmanauto. They received and reset then returned. I installed module but it was still showing codes. I contacted company and they said to ship module back and they would check it again. So I shipped it back to them and they returned it to me. I reinstalled and still has codes. I have since contacted company three times about a refund for the service not working. I am fine with deducting the cost for the second shipment. Total cost was ***** for service and shipping I am willing to take 70 for a refund cause I read that customer is liable for all shipping. I would just like my money back for the service not working but no one will contact me back about the situation.Business response
