      While my truck was parked at the Love's parking lot, an employee posted a sign on my window and BROKE my windshield wiper. They had no authorization to touch my vehicle, denied any wrongdoing, and refused to replace the broken item (even though they sell them). This happened at : ***** *****, Lake Havasu City, AZ 86404, Wednesday March 19.

      Today I brought my 2018 t680 to Love trucks stop because my ABS light is on and you can hear a lost of air when I push in the trailer break. The guy on the day shift said it was a brake chamber. So he changed the break chamber and charged me $360.30. I hoped in the truck and pushed the tractor break in and hear the same noise. I come back to the shop and tell him. The guy and another guy listen to it and say it’s going to sound like that for a while once you buy a new brake chamber on. That I need to drive it 100 to 150 miles and it will go away. I drive it around. Still hear air coming from somewhere so I come back to the same loves. *** and **** looked and my truck. *** was very helpful but **** was just telling me stuff so I would leave. He even walked to loves to get a drink and left while he was supposed to be helping figure out what was wrong which made no sense because he had just came back from lunch. *** the found where the air was coming from and it was a valve between the cab and fifth wheel. **** then walked back up. The valve wasn’t expensive but with the labor it was going to be another $300. Take in mind they already threw a part on my truck I didn’t need. The break chamber wasn’t the problem. Instead of compensating me **** the said if you ain’t loosing air drive it to the valve goes out. Then he said maybe I need to drain my tank because it may be water in them so I pulled the lines and drained them to see if it was water. He then said it 2 more lines to my water tank and that I need to drain those and walked off. I asked *** where are the water tanks I’ve never heard of the he said he hadn’t either. So basically I spent $360 and my problem wasn’t fixed and they was trying to charge me another $300 after the already threw a part at my truck. I feel like they should’ve put the part that they found was releasing the air on to make things right or refunded my money. Or at least put the valve on that *** found the air coming from on for free.

      I contacted on numerous occasions the customer service department through email and by telephone to delete my online account and loves reward card. They have sent me a form for deletion but after many months after filling them out, my account is still active and they are unappologetic to their mistakes. I don't believe they have any intention of deleting my online account after filling out their form.

      This incident occurred on 02/18/25 between 9pm - 11pm. I pulled into the love’s truck stop and parked next to other bobtail trucks. I went inside to take a shower and when I came out to get in truck and leave it was gone and it was three other trucks parked where I was. I went inside and said truck was gone and the employee said to call a number and I asked why it was took and he said “you can’t leave the area” and I replied and said I only took a shower and he said “oh”. These people are running a tow scam. I did business with love’s bought a $18 dollar shower then I had to pay ****** $721 dollars to retrieve the truck. This is not right. It was trucks parked all over this truck stop and I parked next to other trucks just to take a shower and leave but I got scammed.

      September 16, 2024 we were reserved at the Burlington, CO Love’s RV Park. We were reserved in pull-thru site ***.  Unfortunately, the roads were not made wide enough for a 45’ fifth wheel, along with the grass being watered 24/7, causing the grass to be over-saturated.   When my husband, a retired truck driver, went to pull into the site, he had to cut thru the grass at the back of the site.  Since the RV weighs 20k lbs., we sunk quickly into the grass.  This caused mud over the top of the tires and almost broke off the stabilizer bars.  We called the staff back over and were informed that this happens a lot in the short time the RV park has been open.  We could see the tire marks in the front of the site as someone left prior to us.  We cleaned the mud off our tires and didn’t think much of it.  Since the roads are too narrow, we ended up having to back out of the site the next morning to not get stuck in the mud again.  As we were traveling over the Rocky Mountains of Colorado on I-70, our truck notified us that we didn’t have any trailer brakes.   Fortunately, we made it to the dealership.  They noticed a gouge in the right front tire which was from the tire getting back onto the concrete.  They took the axles apart to see what was wrong. Mud got into the bearings and was causing the brakes to only work intermittently.  I did reach out to Love’s and was talking with ******* *******.  After her investigation she found that Love’s didn’t do anything wrong and would not reimburse us for the damage.  She told me that they have not had any other complaints from this park and even laughed.  I didn’t think of it at the time, but the reason no one else has complained is because no one else has had damage.  In my opinion, a 45’ RV going over mountain ranges without brakes is no laughing matter.  We would like to be reimbursed for the repairs to the rv and the damaged tire. Cost of tire not certain as we haven't replaced it yet.

      Complaint: ********

      I am rejecting this response because:

      The park roads are not wide enough for our size of RV (45') Had it been wide enough...or the grass not watered 24/7 everything would have been fine. You can see all the tire tracks in the grass before and after us. We lost brakes while traveling in the mountains.  They even have had people drain their sewer in a none sewer drain.  The park was not designed correctly and will continue to cost them money until they understand how RVs work. Had we not lost our brakes and get a damaged tire, I would not have complained either.

      See uploaded word document Propane System Damage Statement for complete explanation. On October 27, 2024, I pulled my RV into Love’s Travel Stop **** in Napavine, Washington for propane. The attendant followed protocol by having my wife step out of the RV while he filled the mounted 12.2-gallon propane tank. He appeared to know what he was doing. I paid for 8 gallons of propane and travelled to Vancouver, Washington. That evening my propane furnace and the propane side of my water heater did not work. I looked at the gauge needle on the propane tank. It was pointing straight down. This is approximately ½ inches past the 80 % full mark. I made an appointment with Advanced RV in Vancouver, Washington. They troubleshot the furnace and water heater. They determined that the furnace and water heater pressure regulator or electric valve was bad due to over pressurizing the propane system. The cost for repairs $2,464.98, Hotel (8 days) $1,054.00, Per Diem for 2 x 8 days $944.00 – Total: $4,463.00. Not included is undue stress and 1 week travel delay. My extended warranty with Good Sam refused to cover the repair and hotel due to the LP system being overfilled/over pressurized. I contacted the General Manager, *****, at Love’s Store * ***. She referred me to ******* ******* and ***** **** at Love’s Corporate office. On November 14th I was contacted by ***** *******, Risk Management Specialist, Love’s Travel Stops & Country Stores. Ph: ************, *********************** . I provided ***** with invoices and a statement on that day. I left 3 messages and sent 2 emails last week. No response.

      12:36 am 11/23/2024 I drove up to the Loves gas station pumped $24.99 in gas and selected to receive a receipt which I did not receive as the pumps have no paper. Within moments of leaving the establishment Loves attempted to charge my debit card without me being at the location physically or authorizing any purchase $175.00 thankfully my bank declined the transaction and promptly closed my debit card but I see several complaints at this location about the same issue and this location needs to be investigated by the OCC for on going fraud crimes against consumers.

      Complaint: ********

      I am rejecting this response because: Business reached out to offer same response that my bank had placed hold on my account which is not accurate I used debit and paid for my entire gas purchase. After leaving Love’s an attempted purchase was made in the account using credit in which an attempted “hold” would have been placed but thanks to my bank fraud features I declined the purchase a new card was issued and I have had no further issues. It is extremely frustrating that the company won’t just look into why these fraud attempts keep occurring at this location and won’t take responsibility. I am not looking for anything just ensure as a consumer we are safe from fraud especially from a business.

      Dear sir, I took the service of Love's travel stop on store **** on 3rd of November 2024, when I was paying the bill then there was a glitch in the machine that's why I tapped my credit card twice over there but the very next day when I checked my statement then it was showing that the payment deducted double times from my account. I raised the issue with my bank also and it is my request, kindly check at your ends also so it could be easily resolved. I have also attached my bill receipt and my bank statement screenshot.
