      ?

      Complaint Summary:

      I made a paid reservation June 21 at the Pilot Flying J truck stop in Rialto, CA (Confirmation REMOVED When I arrived, there was no available parking, and staff refused to enforce the reserved section or honor my reservation. This isn’t an isolated issue — in fact, 9 out of 10 times this happens at this location.

      Other drivers regularly park in the reserved section without paying, and Pilot takes no action. They continue to sell reservations they do not reliably honor, and then just issue a refund if someone complains. This seems like a pattern of false advertising or deceptive business practice — they are selling a “guaranteed” service that isn’t actually guaranteed.

      ?

      Desired Outcome:

      I am requesting:

      • A formal response from Pilot Flying J
      • An explanation of how they intend to enforce reserved parking
      • Accountability for continuing to sell a service they knowingly fail to deliver. If they cannot enforce reservations, they should stop offering them or clearly disclose that they are not guaranteed.

      reservation at Pilot Store #1328, located at 2325 Sierra Lakes Parkway, Suite

      matters like this seriously and we appreciate REMOVEDbringing this to our

      Summary:
      Fuel contamination at Pilot Flying J location caused vehicle damage; company refuses to accept liability despite professional documentation.

      Details:
      On April 25, 2025, I purchased fuel at Pilot Flying J Store #238. Immediately after fueling, my vehicle—a relatively new, low-mileage car—began experiencing performance issues. I took the vehicle to a certified automotive technician, who diagnosed the problem and provided a detailed invoice.

      The technician identified the following diagnostic trouble codes:

      P0300: Random/multiple cylinder misfire detected
      P0171: System too lean (Bank 1)
      P0174: System too lean (Bank 2)
      Additionally, the technician collected and examined an ECT 2 fuel sample, which was described as “dirty with water and very heavy and absorbs water.” This strongly suggests the presence of contaminants in the fuel system.

      I submitted this documentation to Pilot Flying J’s claims department. Despite the evidence, they denied the claim, stating that their internal monitoring systems did not detect any anomalies. However, I believe this was a localized or transient contamination event that may not have been captured by their broader systems.

      I respectfully requested escalation or a higher-level review, but the company has continued to deny responsibility without addressing the specific findings in the documentation.

      Pilot Travel
      Centers LLC (“Pilot”) is in receipt of the complaint from REMOVED regarding the alleged contamination of the fuel system in his vehicle.  REMOVEDclaims that he fueled at the travel
      center location in Percival, IA (“Store #238”) on April 25, 2025, where he received
      an unspecified type of fuel.  REMOVED
      states immediately after fueling, his vehicle began experiencing performance
      issues.  REMOVEDhad the vehicle
      serviced, where the mechanic informed him that he had received fuel with
      supposed contaminants in it.  REMOVED
      is seeking reimbursement for the repairs and cost of labor to remove the
      alleged contaminated fuel from his vehicle’s fuel system, which totals $819.74.

      As with almost
      all other Pilot locations, Pilot fuel at Store #238 is maintained in
      underground storage tanks at the travel center location.  These tanks are constantly monitored by a Veeder-Root
      monitoring system, which provides readings multiple times each day.  Among other things, the Veeder-Root system
      constantly monitors our fuel storage tanks for any contaminants, excessive
      amounts of water in the tanks, and temperature. 
      Pilot pulled all Veeder-Root monitoring reports for April 25, 2025, and
      none of those reports revealed any contaminants, any water, or any other issues
      with the fuel storage tanks.  Additionally,
      Pilot has not received any other complaints of contaminated unleaded gasoline
      (or any other fuel) from that store on that date.

      While REMOVED’s
      vehicle undoubtedly experienced an unfortunate issue, we respectfully disagree
      with REMOVED’s allegations that Pilot’s fuel caused this issue.  Our investigation has revealed no facts to support the allegations that Pilot provided contaminated fuel to REMOVED.

      Please do not
      hesitate to contact Pilot if you require any additional information in
      connection with the above-referenced complaint.

      Complaint: REMOVED



      Thank you for the response. However, I must respectfully disagree with Pilot’s conclusion.

      While I understand that their Veeder-Root monitoring system did not detect contamination, these systems are not infallible and may not capture localized or transient contamination events—especially if the issue occurred at the pump or during a specific delivery window. The fact that no other complaints were received does not negate the possibility of a one-off incident, which is exactly what I experienced.

      The technician who serviced my vehicle identified multiple engine codes (P0300, P0171, P0174) and described the fuel sample as “dirty with water and very heavy and absorbs water.” These findings are consistent with fuel contamination and occurred immediately after fueling at Store #238. My vehicle is relatively new, with low mileage, and has had no prior issues of this nature.

      I am disappointed that Pilot has chosen to dismiss this evidence rather than acknowledge the possibility of a localized issue. I will be sharing this experience with others in the trucking and travel community to help them make informed decisions.

      I respectfully request that this complaint remain on record as unresolved.

      I have missed a very important event for my career because of the non efficiency of Pilot Flying J Gift cards system.

      I have made 3 purchases totaling $210, I was charged, I have received notifications from my bank, but I was only able to receive $10 from Pilot Flying J.

      Heading to Minneapolis from New Jersey on April 28, a simple 10 minutes fuel stop turned out to be a night in my truck at one of their locations in Ohio. The only solution the customer service offered was to wait until the morning when the gift cards specialists will arrive at the office.

      This issue not only made me miss a once in a lifetime opportunity but it is also going to seriously ruin reputation in the field. I need to be heard about it.

      From 2:00. pm until 10:30 pm which is the time I filing this complaint, no solution was found.

      Pilot Travel Centers LLC (“PTC”) is in receipt of the
      complaint from REMOVED alleging that he ordered three gift cards on April
      28,2025, and he never received the card numbers. REMOVED claims he made three
      gift card purchases totaling $210. He states he received notification from his
      bank that his card was charged for these transactions, yet he only received the
      $10.00 amount from his purchase.
      On April 28, 2025, REMOVEDcontacted PTC’s Guest Services to report that he attempted to electronically
      purchase a $100 gift card, a $50 gift card, and a $10 gift card.  REMOVEDclaims he never received the card numbers
      for the $100.00 and the $50.00 gift cards, which he would receive via email. The
      only amount he claimed to have received was the $10.00.
      PTC investigated REMOVED claims
      and found that he attempted two purchases for gift cards through the website,
      one for $100.00 and another for $50.00. Records indicate that the $50.00
      purchase REMOVEDmade was voided because the credit card used to make the
      purchase could not be verified by our system. PTC notified REMOVEDvia email of
      the credit card rejection, and PTC did not receive any money for the
      transaction. The $100.00 gift card purchase, however, did complete successfully,
      and PTC acknowledged that REMOVEDwas owed a refund, which PTC provided on
      June 26, 2025. An email with the receipt for the refund was sent to REMOVEDhat same day. As for the $10.00 gift card REMOVEDclaims he did receive that
      a previous balance on his account that REMOVEDrequested be transferred to a
      different gift card number. REMOVEDspent that $10.00 at two separate PTC
      locations on April 28, 2025 and April 29, 2025 respectfully.

      I paid via the app on 3/10/25 for Reserved Prime Parking at the Pilot in Greenfield, IN because I was going to arrive in my truck at 10:30pm and knew there would be no general parking available that late and close to a big city. When I arrived, as I suspected, there were no spots available in general parking, but there were also no spots open in the reserved parking section. When I asked at the fuel desk where my reserved spot was and showed my parking payment receipt, the attendant said she was very sorry but could only offer a refund. She said that management was well aware that trucks were parking in the reserved spots without paying but that the management refused to identify and remove them so that the paid customers could have their reserved spots. I called Pilot customer service only to receive the same response — that corporate would not take responsibility for how on-site managers chose to operate their stores. The attendant offered to find me the nearest parking available but admitted she had no idea if that place would actually honor the “reservation”.

      This is not only horrible business practice for refusing to fulfill the customer’s documented purchase but is a hazard to the trucking industry and all travelers — the reason truckers pay to reserve parking is because they know they will arrive tired and most likely out of hours and options to find other parking. Finding out at that time Pilot’s “Reserved Parking” would be better named “Good luck because we won’t honor your parking purchase” is not only extremely disappointing but dangerous to send truckers back out on the road tired and with limited or no legal driving time available.

      Worse, the first PFJ parking policy is “no refunds permitted.” Not two days prior I reserved parking in Utah but had to forfeit the payment (as expected) because I couldn’t continue travel due to a snowstorm. Yet in Greenfield, IN PFJ violated their own no refund policy so they would not be required to provide the service.

      Hello,

      I paid $20.31 dollars on december 24th at 2:10pm at One9 #088 4455 king street cocoa FL, 32926.
      The gas station charged me $151 and we have called the customer service line more than 4 times and make a claim but One9 fuel has not made any refund yet. More than 2 weeks have passed and I did not get the money back. Nobody is offering a solution.The excuse was that holidays were delaying this process but its January 9th now.

      Business Response

      Date: 01/22/2025

      Pilot
      Travel Centers LLC (“PTC”) is in receipt of the complaint from REMOVED concerning problems with her bank account after she paid for fuel using
      her card at PTC Store #088 in Cocoa, FL. 
      Please allow this letter to serve as PTC’s response to her complaint.


      Ms. REMOVEDalleges that she purchased Twenty Dollars and 31/100 Dollars ($20.31)
      worth of fuel from PTC Store #088 utilizing a credit card for payment.  It seems that she used her credit card to
      initiate a “pay-at-the-pump” transaction. 
      After the transaction, Ms. REMOVEDnoticed that there was a $151
      hold on her account in regard to this pending transaction.
      To
      initiate all pay-at-the-pump transactions, in order for the transaction to run,
      a certain amount is preauthorized at the time the customer’s card is swiped to
      ensure the credit card is valid, and that there are sufficient funds in the
      account to cover the purchase.  No money
      is debited from a consumer’s account at the time the card is preauthorized;
      instead, that amount is designated as “unavailable” until the transaction is
      complete.  In this case, Ms. REMOVEDstates that the preauthorization hold issued on her account was One
      Hundred Fifty-One and 00/100 Dollars ($151.00).


      Immediately
      upon completion of Ms. REMOVEDtransaction, PTC’s point of sale
      system sent an electronic message to its card processor, a third party, which
      then relayed the specifics of the completed transaction to her credit card
      company.  Upon receipt of this
      information, Ms. REMOVEDcredit card company is supposed to release
      the preauthorization hold and charge her account with the actual amount of fuel
      purchased.  Pilot only receives the
      amount of money from the actual fuel sale.


      The
      settlement period between when the customer swipes the card and when the actual
      purchase price appears on the account is generally less than twenty-four (24)
      hours.  From the information that Ms. REMOVEDprovided, it sounds like her credit card company may have taken longer
      to remove the preauthorization hold than the typical twenty-four-hour
      period.  Unfortunately, Pilot has no
      control over when the credit card company releases the preauthorization amount.


      It
      is also important to note that PTC only receives the amount of the
      completed fuel transaction (in this case, $20.31) and no other money.  PTC denies violating any laws or
      authorizing Ms. REMOVEDcredit card company to hold more funds than
      she spent on the day of her visit.  The
      best way for Ms. REMOVEDto resolve this situation is to check with her
      credit card company.  PTC apologizes for
      any inconvenience that she endured as a result of the preauthorization hold.

      Problem Description:
      I am filing this complaint regarding unauthorized transactions made using my WEX fuel card (last 4 digits: 0002) at Pilot Flying J locations. These transactions occurred without my knowledge or authorization, totaling $2,609.15. Below are the transaction details:
      1. Date: December 9, 2024
      Time: 7:42 AM CST
      Location: Flying J Store #1009, Jurupa Valley, CA
      Amount: $561.83
      2. Date: December 10, 2024
      Time: 12:29 AM CST
      Location: Pilot Store #1328, Rialto, CA
      Amount: $1,023.66
      3. Date: December 10, 2024
      Time: 12:33 AM CST
      Location: Pilot Store #1328, Rialto, CA
      Amount: $1,023.66

      Despite reporting the issue and providing all necessary evidence, Pilot Flying J has refused to refund the unauthorized charges. They cited their Direct Bill Purchase Agreement, which unfairly holds customers responsible for fraudulent transactions.

      I am requesting a full refund of $2,609.15 and further cooperation in resolving this matter. This issue has caused significant financial and operational hardship to my business.

      Business Response

      Date: 01/31/2025

REMOVED  According to these Terms and Conditions, REMOVEDis responsible for all transactions on its account, including any unauthorized transactions.  As such, REMOVEDTransportation's account is not eligible for a credit.

      Regarding the request for video surveillance footage, it is PTC's policy not to release footage to customers.  Mr. REMOVEDhas indicated that he has filed a police report concerning these alleged fraudulent transactions, and PTC will cooperate with the police should they request any documentation for their investigation.

      We spoke with Mr. REMOVEDregarding his complaint and apologized for any inconvenience he experienced that day.  In a good faith gesture, we offered Mr. REMOVED$10.00 in points to be added to his loyalty account, and he accepted.  The points were added that same day, and Mr. REMOVEDseemed satisfied with this resolution.  Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.

      Thank you,

      The large sign out side has a diesel cash price and credit price. I went inside and paid cash the pump charged me the credit price. I went inside and received my change and when I got my change I notified them I was charged the credit price. The woman at the counter told me there was no difference in cash and credit price. When I told her the sign said two different prices she shrugged her shoulders and refused to give me the cash price for fuel.

      Pilot Travel Centers LLC (“Pilot”) is in receipt of the
      complaint from REMOVEDregarding the alleged contamination of the fuel
      system in his vehicle.  Mr. REMOVEDclaims
      that he fueled at the Pilot travel center location in Oakland, OR (“Store #233”)
      on December 3, 2024, where he received diesel. 
      Mr. REMOVEDstates that his truck began experiencing problems after fueling
      at our location and was told by Peterbuilt that the issue was caused by water
      in the fuel line.  Mr. REMOVEDis seeking Four
      Hundred Forty-Nine Dollars and 41/100 (“$449.41”) as reimbursement for the repairs.

      As with almost all other Pilot locations, Pilot diesel at
      Store #233 is maintained in underground storage tanks at the travel center
      location.  These tanks are constantly
      monitored by a Veeder-Root monitoring system, which provides readings multiple
      times each day.  Among other things, the
      Veeder-Root system constantly monitors our fuel storage tanks for any
      contaminants, excessive amounts of water in the tanks, and temperature.  Pilot pulled all Veeder-Root monitoring
      reports for December 3, 2024, and none of those reports revealed any
      contaminants, any water, or any other issues with the fuel storage tanks.  Additionally, Pilot has not received any
      other complaints of contaminated diesel from that store on that date.

      While Mr. REMOVEDvehicle undoubtedly experienced an
      unfortunate issue, we respectfully disagree with Mr. REMOVEDallegations that
      Pilot’s unleaded gasoline caused this issue. 
      Our investigation has revealed no facts to support the
      allegations that Pilot provided contaminated to diesel to Mr. REMOVED.

      Please do not hesitate to contact Pilot if you require any
      additional information in connection with the above-referenced complaint.
