Expedition One Rear Bumper

Now, your warranty can be voided IF they can directly trace that changing your license plate lights to LED caused a major malfunction deeming a warranty issue. In order for a dealer/manufacturer to deny a warranty on a claimed part, they must PROVE that the part YOU installed/had installed DIRECTLY caused the failure of the part on which you’re claiming the warranty.

This is pointless.

I understand more about the CANBUS system and its controls of every function of not just RAM, but most all vehicles than what you would care me to. Body Control Modules as a mitigiator of functional communication of FET is a moot point the second you cut those wires. Who do you want me to contact there? Chad, Darrel, Chris Harris? I know most of them. Don't throw RAM at me, you will loose.

I think I am done, your ears are closed, and you won't change a thing on your product. I bet a dollar to a dime your product will be exactly the same one year from now. Come back next Christmas and prove me wrong.


You obviously never wanted a solution. Only an argument. I wish I could help, but unfortunately you know more than we do.

I have nothing more to prove. My attempt to provide YOU with a solution has been futile. I still have an EMPTY email inbox with no customer information to attempt to help with your powder-coat warranty. Again, no part numbers for the lighting problem that has been experienced. The only thing I have is you telling me I am wrong at every turn.

If you want a solution, I am still offering it. Again my email is sales@expeditionone.biz

King, you are right...Expedition One will argue this to death. Do what you can with what you have. The word is out and customers beware

Well, it seems as if I came into this with minds made up. There is no help from either direction. I will be running tests on various LED's tomorrow attempting to replicate a problem that we have not experienced on our end. Fingers crossed we get it. I will attempt to replicate an unknown issue with the parking assist sensors that we do not seem to have. I will also be exploring a QA change to help with catching PowderCoat warranties off the line.

Along with that I will find a better way to word that I need a customers email so I can attempt to offer them a solution to the problem they have. Like possibly providing a warranty for a possible craftsmanship defect.

Literally the only information I have is that we are wrong in our design, we need to use factory connectors for LED's, and feedback is not going to happen from this thread. I really hoped to help more.

Again my email is sales@expeditionone.biz

I am available to attempt to help troubleshoot any problems that have or may occur.

Feel free to reach out at anytime.

I don't have any issues anymore, I paid more money out of my own pocket or spent time to correct the issues I had. Fix the coatings, cutting down the license plate to fit, machining spacers to space out the license plate over the two bolts directly behind it, researching connectors, wiring the connection for a factory style plug in for the lights, taking the truck to the dealer and paying them to turn off the lamp out for the LED's, turning off the backup sensors, having a custom breakout harness made the uses the factory style plug under the tailgate to breakout camera functions only instead of yanking on wires in the tailgate that are too short. I took care of me, I don't have any issues anymore. I am simply rebutting in this thread what he continues to say that they do not have issues with, or that are "problem solved" for the next person.

Also, I may still contact him, I haven't said yet that I would not, simply that the debate was pointless. No pride here, so there is nothing to swallow. They have issues they need to correct for a mass market product.

Also, I feel quite the opposite, I believe it should be done in open market since that is usually the only way to force companies like this to change, I've seen it many times in the past on multiple forums, some where I moderate or admin. It usually helps multiple people with the same issues, they respond, then it forces change.

JMHO on the subject.


The guy is offering to help resolve your issues, has apologized for the errors, and is attempting to get you taken care of.

It’s water under the bridge.

Swallow your pride and let the guy help.

Quit airing your dirty laundry here and email the guy. This argument isn’t helping anyone in this thread.

^Totally agree.

I understand why there was frustration early on with the Expedition One bumper, but there is now a company representative willing to communicate directly with people who are having problems in an attempt to resolve those problems....if you want help, ask for it. I don't see the need for bickering at this point.

Again... Can't find your emails anywhere. I have easily located chet6.7's email threads and have gone over the entire order... Feel free to forward them to me at sales@expeditionone.biz
-Jace

Would you like me to post them here? I provided them to Mastercard, it's kind of tacky but I can post them here if you feel like that's best. You sent me an email which I responded to...and then nothing back from you. Just like the other guy.

It's kind of odd, your email stated you wanted to move on from this but here you are calling me out.
 
We never once disputed your charge-back, what we disputed was the restocking portion. I do have a record of this. -Jace

You wanted to charge me 3% for a bumper you didn't deliver. Your stated "restock" was "...may charge 2%...". There is nothing absolute about "may" and 3% isn't 2%. Not to mention failing to reach the deadline, provide updates as promised, respond to email, or even deliver the product.

I'll be home on Saturday and will scan Expedition One's response to the dispute.
 
This was the Terms and Conditions Expedition One sent me the day I placed my order. I'm guessing no one bothered to read it. It's still on Expedition One's site.

Hey there Jace,

You are basically **************** on your company name big time buddy. You should really consider how you respond to complaints and issues publicly.

Take it from someone who is an influencer and has worked in marketing for the last 6 yrs and is responsible for directing sales to businesses, your approach to this is asinine. You should stop posting, immediately. You don't need to reply here in the manner you are.

There are better ways to address things than this retarded ******** show. You're a business now. Not some dude in his garage taking everything personally.

Doesn't matter if the customer is wrong. You should be listening to them anyhow.

But accusing customers of lying and other stuff, that's just shooting yourself in the foot long term. You're building a base of haters who will spread the outrage far and wide. Especially when some of these people have documented proof.

Not winning any fans here.
