On May 24, 2011 our Bosch diswasher we bought from Sears in 2003 began leaking. I called for a repair service and a tech came out. He used like a magnifying glass and look around but cld not find anything – cost $109. Diswasher still leaking I called Sears again for a tech to come to my house, same tech sent out this time he “found inlet water pressure to high redcued input water pressure, checked operation”. The charge $144. Later than day my daughter came home and asked why I paid again and I said your right, the reason I was niot thinking will be revealed later.
I can’t the check and immediately called June 10 and told them I had canceled the check. She stated they would send out “Sr Tech”. Over Memorial Day weekend we went camping and when we returned the whole floor was wet clear thru into the garage. Called Sears again and talked to another rep who told me I never should of been charged for second visit and I have 90 day warranty from the time they come out. On June 15, 2011 they sent the SAME TECH out to my house and I finally kicked him out telling him I did not feel comfortable with him working on the dishwasher and asked him to leave. Before he left I made him sign a that he confirmed the water damage to dishwasher, kitchen floor and garage.
On June 21, 2011 a Sr Tech came out and replaced the water inlet valve, I paid him again $9403. The problem is now fixed.
I made claims with there claims office. She advised me to send pictures and get two estimates which I did.
On June 23, 2011 I received a Demand Letter for payment on the stopped check from TRS. I disputed the claim and sent in my letter July 11, 2011. On June 25, 2011 I received another Demand Letter for payment from TRS. Again, I sent in disputed letter. This part finaly got taken care of.
I called Customer Solutions on 7-7-2011 and talked to rep about being sent to collection agency. She stated she would have someone call me. No one called.
I called again on July 8 – no return call
I called again on 7-11-2011 and talked to rep who stated she sent message for tech manager to call me back within 24 hours. No one called me back.
On 7-22-2011 I called and talked to another rep and stated I was not going to be calling again and if they sent me to collections we were going to court.
On July 25, 2011 my husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer, brain cancer, espogas cancer. We flew to Arizona and was down there for 3 weeks.
When we got back I called the claims office to see where we were. She stated I had to get ahold of the Bosch Manufactured and send in faulty part ( which I thru in the garage).
I called again on 8-4 and left message for claims office. No return call.
On August 24, 2011 I finally received letter from TRS that they have charged back fee.
On August 6 I again talked to Sedgwick CMS who explained I would have to talk to the manufacutre myself. Well guess what, the manufacturel wanted the part which I had through away.
The damage was done by Sears yet they refuse to fix the problem.
At this time I do not need additional stress in my life as I have my hands full dealing with my husband. I will never shop at Sears again. They have lost all sense of what customer service is.
Why would I have to deal with the manufacture when in good faith I dealt with Sears. This claim is only $ 1,510 for replace the sub floor and lay tile down. I will never buy from Sears again and am very disappointed in them. Small claims court here we come!!!!! but we very aware the $ 1,500 just went up to addl $5,000 for pain and suffering.
