SEARS Department Store
Complaint

Country: United States
On Monday November 5,2007 I attempted to return a faulty GPS Garmin 530 that I paid $324.00 for. I had my receipt of purchase and presented it to the Manager there who said that he was sorry but he could not exchange or refund or credit my Sears acct and I left SEARS a DISSATISFIED customer!!!
I am appalled that SEARS sold me a faulty item and now won't exchange it for a new one or credit my SEARS acct with the $324.00. I have notified GARMIN of the situation and I want results!!

Comments
What is the reason for refusing to exchange it?
How long have you had this item before trying to exchange it?
Some items cn only be repaired or replaced by the manufacturer (rather than through the point of purchase)?
You all sent me the wrong Tracking Number etc. My name is Kusiak and the correct information is UT20071212_0000002009. I have taken the unit to the Sears Store in Lynchburg VA. It was left at the Repair Center which is no part of the Store Operations. Really nice that people from one side of the wall say that to a Customer. My issue is the fact that Sears repaired this unit (3) Times. It was sent out and each time it seized after limited use. Last November when I received it back the Repair Center said to add a little extra oil to the mixture. My concern at the time what if it happens again? Bring it back and we Will take care of it. Now almost a year to the day the unit seizes again. You all have the records and yes I did not purchase the extended warranty since while under warranty it was rebuilt (3) times. I do not want the unit repaired and as I said as the problem continued to happen what if it happens again. Thanks for nothing .
A very dissatisfied former customer.

i am really getting tired of sears not taking care of this matter. I have had two washing machines in three months, with them working less than 2 months. I am tired of going to the laundry mat when i paid for a new machine Dec 14, 2007 and have nothing but problems with sears since that date.
i want someone to contact me and pick up the junk washer so I can purchase one that will work and not cost me more time and money than my old unit ever did.
What is this about?/ My light was still on.. This is poor service
Five months ago we had to have the Mother board as well as one of the other main panels replaced on the freezer side at a cost of $680. Today, we were informed that the compressor is going. The cost to replace that will range from $750-$1000. I am dumb founded at this point . What was the point of purchasing a top of the line frig if it was going to last under 5 years before completely failing.We were informed by the repair person that even with all of the repairs completed, there was no guarantee that the frig still wouldn't go out completely. His suggestion was to buy a new frig. I'm done with Sears Appliances !!! Never again !!!
Well, someone finally came out today, over a week later which is crap. Then the service tech looks over it 15 min and tells my father that he has to order 500 bucks worth of parts and it is gonna be another damn week before they come back to fix it.
All I got to say is sears appliance repair sucks, if your gonna service your appliances you need to keep the parts in stock and not wait a damn week to come out to check it, if y'all are that backed up then you need to hire somebody. I paid almost 1300 dollars for this washing machine because your salesman told me it was one of the best along with the bull crap extended warranty, when my appliance tears up I expect it to be fixed in a timely fashion NOT 2 WEEKS LATER!
I was going to buy the matching dryer from sears, but after this crap, it won't be purchased at sears. I never had this problem at lowed, and you guys sure as hell aren't going to reimburse my 80 bucks I spent at the laundry mat. I believe its time to re evaluate
