Concern - Does anyone care about customer service?

Two months ago, we looked at a Georgie Boy Landau from Camping World, Las Vegas with non-functional chassis A/C. We took possession of it along with a Good Sams Extended Service plan after they said the A/C problem was more extensive than expected and several new parts had to be installed.

As we pulled out for a get away from the LV heat three weeks ago, the chassis A/C went out. CW said they didn’t want to take care of it and to take it to a Chev dealer as it was a chassis problem. After several days delays between the dealer and GS claims we were finally on our way.

Half way through our trip - the A/C went out. We tried to get it repaired in Salt Lake at CW but hit a GS blockwall. Apparently, they have 45-days to process a policy (over 60-days I guess didn’t count) plus they said CW, LV hadn’t turned in the paper work. A call to CW, LV got them to FAX a copy but it would still take 24 hours to process. We decided the Utah weather was cool enough to forgo the A/C.

The 180 mile run home to LV was warm without A/C (95 degF at 9am). The RV was immediately taken to the Chev dealer to get the process going. Well, what a process it has been...

- 26Jun13(Wed) - RV delivered to Chev
- 27Jun13(Thu) – GS Inspector comes out to review dealer’s findings and takes photos
- 28Jun13(Fri) – Dealer informed by GS claims office that photos have yet to be received
- 1Jul13(Mon)– Second Inspector comes out as apparently the first one has gone AWOL with the photos and takes new photos
- 2Jul13(Tue) – First Inspector returns to take yet new photos
- 2Jul13(Tue) – I call GS Customer service and am informed that I may not talk to a supervisor; she would have a supervisor call me to explain what was happening; and they had 48 hours to process anything.

Well, here I set and GS Customer service called neither me nor the service center before closing in Colorado. I was hoping to be in California for July 4th, but instead I am waiting around for GS Customer service to find it in their heart to do something. I can’t say being an Elite member has been anything but frustrating. Now that the inspector has come a third time – do you think the 48 hour clock starts again? I feel like that movie “Ground Hog Day”.

    In my 30 years of experience, always maintaining an extended warranty, I can attest that there are some good policies available. It does require that you follow ALL the rules. It is not my place to list other companies, but I've never encountered a problem like sadly noted in this thread.
    Hope it gets settled soon.
    Happy Trails.
  • Don't worry MC, a CW rep will be on here shortly to give you a placating message and drag you off line.
    Funny how we rarely hear the end results of posts like these.
