Horrible Customer Service

[Davo]

I own a 2016 Thor Siesta. As far as RVs go it is ok. As far as Thor customer service goes, it just might be the worst of any company I have dealt with. Their response time is ridiculous and their ability to solve a problem is even worst. They take situations that could be easily resolved and elevated them to the next level by their lack of attention. Many times they take days or even weeks to respond. It is almost like if they ignore you you will go away. I actually feel sorry for the dealers that have to deal with them.

I find the opposite from Thor Customer Service. I have contacted them twice about warranty service and three times asking for wiring and plumbing diagrams. Thor paid for an emergency, mobile RV tech visit when they couldn't diagnose the electrical problem and reimbursed me for repairs done my local Jayco dealer. Thor CS even followed up on my warranty service to ensure that everything was corrected to my satisfaction. Ron Johnson at CS has never failed to help me when I asked.

Either you're lucky or I'm not. 1 month, 3 emails, a phone call, and a customer inquiry form. Still no reply.

I am waiting for my 3rd Thor to arrive and have had nothing but a positive experience when dealing with them. They have always been responsive and helpful. A couple of considerations to keep in mind people that are happy tend not to post on those that are not happy. This is evidenced by this post, judging by the number of posts they have not contributed to this forum other to complain. Also Thor builds 47% of coaches built hence will have more complaints than others.

[Davo]

While you are judging me, all I am asking for is that they respond to me.
I'll be more specific. Back in March I reported that the awning mechanism pocked a hole in the coach. I was told to get an estimate for repairs. I sent Thor the estimate, a picture of the damage and reminded them I was doing this at their request. Reasonably I should have received an answer in a couple of days.
It has now been a month. That is not good customer service.
And with this post I am done defending myself.

Dave - are you calling them or email. I am out of warranty and still get through each time I call with a question. I'd recommend giving them a call. Even more specifically call (877) 855-2867. I almost always talk with Tom Overton. He has been great. Try it and let us know how it works out.

[Davo]

Thanks for the positive response. I will give him a call.

Not picking on you, your frustration is justified. My experience with Thor warranty was excellent, as many others have said on this forum. Some have had frustration like yours, too. Skip the emails and the forms. You need to talk to the warranty service person directly.

In similar situations with other companies, here's my plan of attack: After a week or so of no action, I would call them every day until my problem is resolved. If the warranty person you are dealing with drops the ball, ask to speak to their supervisor. If that fails, go up the chain, write a letter to the division head, and a copy to the president of the company. Include just the facts, and leave the emotion out.

Ditto hear, my experience with has been outstanding. I talk with Cynthia Garcia. They take your MH by vin and can tell every warranty issue, including ehatbis still ordered, approved, etc.

Davo - how did it go with Tom O?

[Davo]

Couldn't reach him but was routed to Tony. It appears that it is being handled.
Thanks to all that said to forget e mail and call.

[bigben]

Yep - worked Tony as well. All of the CSR folks have been good for us. Without fail, they have always called us back. Before I see a repair shop, I call those guys and him them help me find a shop that works on Thors.

Three phone calls with promise to call back and no response from the dealer. Last time with a previouse coach took 3 months sitting on their lot and no warrantee work performed. I find this to be a dealer problem not Thor. I'm going to contact Thor direct to see if I can get some kind of response from a different dealer. No a very happy camper.

I bought a 2018 Thor Hurricane 29m. Have lots of dings and minor fixes. Dealership doesn't return calls but customer service at Thor has been fabulous. Answered all my questions and sent out parts I needed. Still working on the minor stuff that the dealership is responsible for.

I am a owner of a Thor for a year now and I found Thor customer service the best. Sorry to hear your having trouble

Have not read of a problem with leaning on one side. But it is a common problem with pulling to the right due to front end needing an alignment. For the leaning problem, you should take it back to the dealer and or contact Thor since that should be covered under warranty. The front end alignment is sometimes covered by Thor and sometimes not. I would try to get the dealer to cover both.
Good luck.

The reasons why email, web 'forms', and even voicemail do not work well in urgent customer service situations is because, like all of us do, it's just too easy to make someone on a phone call the priority - emails, web forms, and voicemail all get shoved to the end of the day, if the person still has any time left to respond.

Calls get priority - and while I don't personally agree with that stance, it's commonplace in any industry, and realizing that, while aggravating, a phone call gets a much quicker response - though a long hold time is par for the course. While we all expect someone to answer the phone since it is ringing, that person is then taken off what other customer they may have been trying to respond to via email. And, then they lose their train of thought and have to come back to your email later - email is just not a way to 'urgently' communicate like a direct phone call is.

Someone hearing your voice, your aggravation, is much more likely to want to help you, even if it is to just get you off the line.

As much as even I hate phone calls to any customer service line, it seems that it will still take priority for most well into the future.... so much for 'technology'... : )

I'll also add that all my phone conversations and emails with customer service have been very positive, almost more than even I expected. Thanks Thor.

Sounds like you have a roof leak. You need to go on the roof and check the caulking, and not just in that area, water can travel a long way!!!
