              I bought a brand new 2017 **** Explorer from mobilityWorks, who sells Vehicles after *** modifications, are completed by Braunability. I Have tried to resolve the issues with Braunability regarding the materials and the paint that was utilized on their modification metal parts. We spent a full day, going to four different auto body shops, and receive the same results from all of them stating that the material used was not properly prepped and the paint they used was not the correct type. After going back-and-forth with the Braunability representative, I was told they would replace some of the parts, but not all of the parts. Unacceptable! The **** paint that was put on at the **** factory is in pristine condition. It is just the Braunability parts that are terribly rusted. We pay a lot of money for our handicap assessable vehicles. There is no excuse for these parts and materials to rust as badly as they have. My vehicle has always been ***********.

              I believe BraunAbitiy should stand behind the products they sell! I purchased a brand new 2017 **** Explorer, with the BraunAbility modifications. All the metal pieces required to perform the modification on my SUV are extremely rusted and beginning to fail. I spoke with Braunability on more than one occasion they agreed to replace some of the parts, but not all of them. The factory paint on my **** Explorer is in pristine condition. I took my car to five different body shops, and they told me the reason for the rust and corrosion is because the metals were not prep properly and the wrong kinds of paint(s) utilized. After we spent the whole day, obtaining all of these quotes and reasoning for failure, I spoke with Braunability and they refused to do anything about it.
