Hello All,

 

It has been my experience and opinion to inform you "forum member's" to stay clear of ordering aftermarket accessories from truckadons.com (TrailBlazers) along with any other web companies that fall under them. I have been trying to reach this company since last Monday the 24th of Feb for information about a tonneau cover I ordered and paid for on the 17th of Feb with no luck!

 

After doing my own investigating, I have learned that mentioned above companies are taking money from customers but not paying the disturbers therefore we customers do not receive what we pay for. I have sent several emails requesting information (no response) and have called at least 10 different phone numbers (fast busy signal for all numbers).

 

I do not mean to slander (strictly my opinion) Please beware!!!

It's been months, but I have ordered from these guys three or four times over the last three years, great prices, fast shipping and never a problem getting someone on the phone. Plus they have an active facebook site. The site I'm using is http://www.truckaddons.com - which is spelled differently than the one in your title, which I realize could be a typo, but just in case I wanted to post the link so you could click on it and see if we're talking about the same people.

 

I wonder if they've imploded lately or something, they were almost always one of the cheapest places to order accessories for, maybe they couldn't stay in business?

They sold me a defective tonneau back in December, I am still fighting them through visa to get my money back. They flat our refused to exchange or return the product. The site I had bought from was undercoverfactoryoutlet.com which is no longer up and running.

Good evening,

 

Yes, it was a typo. Same company/companies I am talking about.

 

I emailed the customer support people telling them they had until the 6th of March to have some answers for me or I would start the dispute claim with my credit card company. So far no response. I also tried calling the phone numbers listed and still fast busy signal on the other end.

 

It is sad to have such a good thing going and run it in the ground. I understand things happen, but taking money from people and not giving them the end product that we all work hard for should be a crime.

 

I just hope this post has saved a few people some time and aggravation from having to deal with a similar situation like me and many others have already.

Thanks for posting. As I said, I've ordered from them in the past and wouldn't have hesitated to order from them again, but with your post and the one from IMCRAZY I am going to scratch them from my list, too many on-line vendors to choose from rather than deal with someone shady. Also, it seems like they've deleted their Facebook page, maybe getting too many negative posts. Hate to seem them go from five star service to an avoid at all costs, but I guess it happens...

I posted several times about Undercoverfactoryoutlet and their poor customer service, or better yet lack of it. Truckaddons I believe is the same company, as some of their emails before I ordered my cover came from them. There are complaints about both of these businesses. I bought several more accessories for my truck since i purchased the cover, but not from these businesses. The former undercoverfactoryoutlet website now directs you to utilmatetonnocover website. Why the name change....buyer beware...

I tried calling ultimatetonnocover.com this evening for grins, same address as truckaddons.com.Once again fast busy signal. I also found another site called fenderflares.com. Same address, I tried calling them, got a fast busy signal.

 

I will start the ball rolling with the credit card company tomorrow to dispute the charge. To bad I can't bill the company for my time and a little interest.

 

Do you guys have any idea what the best price is on a Bakflip VP? The model # I am looking for is 162120.

 

Thanks in advance...

I live about two hours from Lexington and the retail store called Trailblazers. I have been there many, many times. I actually went to the truckaddons website and was shocked that it was still up and running. Please spread the word and be REALLY wary of ordering from these folks.

Just to update I did get a final refund via Visa and I did not have to return the defective product.

I had an Extremely Bad experience with these guys back in 04, and there was a thread called BEWARE of TruckAddons with tons of Horror stories about this business. must have been deleted over the years but seems like the same old story with them. Hopefully they are indeed out of business but I have seen the website and it still looks active ! I know this is from 2014 but it brings back some memories for sure !!

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
