Do not walk.....Run away from these folks!!
I bought a 2013 Freightliner Cascadia from Arrow Truck Sales Atlanta at the end of October 2020. I paid $29,500 cash for this truck with a Cummins ISX 15 engine and 10 speed Eaton Fuller manual transmission. Being aware there is a known issue with Cummins Engine fuel pumps made before 2015, I asked the sales person to check to see if this was the original fuel pump on the truck. He said he would have someone check. He never came back with a response, so assumed (I know never assume) they checked and there was no issue. I asked about their 90 warranty and extended warranty since it is a used truck. I had to ask for the warranty it was not offered. I am very glad I requested it.
Before I could get the truck on the road, on November 16th, it started to run rough so I took it to a local diesel repair shop. Well, remember that fuel pump issue, this truck still had the original fuel pump. When these pumps go bad they have ceramic parts that get destroyed and the debris gets into the engine oil. This debris basically destroys the engine. So I found this out well within the first 90 days. However, Arrow only covers up to $5,000 dollars of repairs in their 90 day warranty. Also, the extended warranty that cost about $5,600 will only cover up to the amount you paid for the vehicle. The shop provided an estimate of nearly $50,000 to repair the engine. The warranty company opted to replace the Engine. The engine replacement will be about $25,000. So after having the engine replaced I will only have about $4,900 available for repairs for the remainder of the warranty.
It is now January 2nd 2021 and the Truck is still in the shop. The engine the warranty company had shipped to the shop, from LKQ, was a used 2013 engine that supposedly had been rebuilt. The engine arrived at the shop with a broken Oil Fill spout, leaking rear main, and the fuel pump was bad. I am Pissed!! They don't seem to understand every week this truck is not running it is costing my company thousands in lost revenue, insurance premiums, and other fees to just be in business as a carrier. This has been a terrible experience with all related to this purchase Arrow Truck Sales Atlanta, NTP-Premium2k (warranty), and LKQ (engine provider).
I don't usually write reviews but this has been a horrible experience!!!
Happy New Year!! I refuse to allow this to impact my 2021 but I had to share. read more
