Please enter your reason(s) for rejecting the business response below.The grading of my land is not required by the municipalities as they have stated. If it was they would have done the same to my neighbors yard, but instead they are building a retaining wall to keep their property intact. One of their local representatives, I believe his name was Tim, whose phone number is [redacted] came out and took a look at my property and saw the property stake and agreed that our land had been encroached upon.  Someone from their Land Division was supposed to call and come check, but I have not heard from them.

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:  We did met with the D.R. Horton Sales Manager and Construction Manager on...

3/27/17 to review the items in order to provide a repair plan.  No repairs have been set up as to this date.  Another meeting is scheduled 4/3/17 to discuss their formal document repair plan.  Not until we actually see the repairs completed will I feel this complaint will be resolved.  I have been promised many things this past year as to which not have been completed.

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. However this will be the 8th time that I have had to make special arrangements for D.R. Horton to be at my home to look at this problem. Their independent inspector will need to come on my schedule as I have missed an unacceptable documented amount of time from work already due to this defective installation. This will be the second meeting that I will have involving the manufacturer as they have already been out on 6/6/2016 and determined that the material was not the issue after D.R. Horton's installer blamed the material for his inability to do a proper install at our meeting on 5/12/16. They have my contact information and I will be expecting to hear from them shortly [redacted]

Our previous offer to the homeowner remains.

Mr. [redacted] called to let us know that the company sent the same tech, who told him that they were not going to do anything because that is how its supposed to be.  Under the master's restroom vanity is still very hot I have been told by other contractors that the issue is lack of insulation since the back walls is an outside wall.  The tech sent by DR Horton told me that it was hot because the doors to the vanity were closed, that he had to keep them open.  He is very dissatisfied with resolution offered.

Again, D R Horton's response is factually incorrect.  I did not mistake the price as "starting from."  The sales agent, Travis, printed out the specifications for Lot 50 and told me, that Lot 50 was priced at $442,000. He told me he couldn't take me inside of Lot 50 because of the construction.  He circled Lot 50 on the site plan.  We did the prequaification for Lot 50 at that price.  Travis even gave me the breakdown what my costs and estimated mortgage payments would be for Lot 50.  Always at the same price.  I reiterate that I did not misunderstand, nor did I make a mistake. Travis and D R Horton purposefully misled me in terms of pricing. It bears noting, that D R Horton's first response stated that I was interested in a completely different lot in a different community.  At this point, they should acknowledge their wrongdoing and make reparations.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.  Specifically the monetary compensation is satisfactory.  I would like this record to reflect the following points with regards to D.R. Horton's written response:1) I was referred directly to [redacted] (in lieu of the D.R. Horton website referenced) as he was the HOA's point of contact in re-mediating the original blow-out valve repair on 4/15/16.  Overall [redacted] was respectful and kind throughout the process.2) My initial loss in water pressure was identified on 4/18/16.  The Non-Warranty Inspection offer occurred on 4/28/16.  D.R. Horton's lack of response forced my hand in incurring costs to try and get the situation resolved.  My refusal to sign the Non-Warranty Inspection was because the inspection would have covered my home and not necessarily the meter or meter to street which had already been identified as the likely source of the issue.3) D.R. Horton only contacted [redacted] AFTER I had called them in order to obtain the most current reading.  During MY call with [redacted] it was identified that my meter was not reading.  This information was shared by ME to D.R. Horton, not vice versa.4)  D.R. Horton's response includes the following language: "nor was the obstruction a result of the work performed to the mainline previously."  Just as I can't prove it was the cause this claim is equally false.  Bottom line is that we'll never know.  On 4/14/16 I had normal water pressure.  On 4/18/16 I did not.  The only thing that changed in between those dates was the repair to that blow-out valve.I regret having to come this far.  My ask from the beginning was to have the people involved in the original repair take another look.  Regrettably that appears to have never been a possibility. D.R. Horton appears to have reached a point where unusual situations are forced into usual or typical problems. Finally, I would like to acknowledge and thank D.R. Horton for reimbursing my expenses.

Per the [redacted] warranty manual, the cracks do not meet the dimension threshold for correction...

and is a non-warrantable repair.

Please enter your reason(s) for rejecting the business response below.the drainage water is coming under the retaining wall and the French drains were placed in the wrong place to dry up my yard. The drains were placed in the low part of the yard which requires to water to travel half the distance of my yard to reach the drain. It should have been placed at the top of the lot near the wall to prevent the water from keeping my yard saturated. Excessive amounts of water are also getting behind the wall. Their drainage contractor also did not have the knowledge of how to install the French drain properly and I the customer had to catch it. They refused to bring in a contractor with the proper knowledge to do the job right.

Please enter your reason(s) for rejecting the business response below.The reason for  the rejection is because they are just giving jargon to try and cover their butts, when I first moved into the house on October 31 2014, I was assured that the pile of debris and tree roots would be moved immediately but it wasn't this led to my house almost being flooded, which I talked to the project contractor about still they didn't remove the pile, it was only after a year when they decided to build the house on lot 47 that they removed the pile and in doing so pushed dirt under my fence which in turn caused more flooding of my back yard after months of calling and complaining they finally came out and did a botched job in resolving the issues , while in turn busting my neighbors sewer line which flowed in front of my house and property causing a horrible smell, and its been this way for a while, also without letting anyone know the company has changed the people who we need to call and contact so when calling the people like [redacted] and [redacted] they are saying "well im no longer over that area, so after finally meeting with the guy that is over the area now [redacted] and informing him of the issues in the neighborhood they have still been moving extremely slow, we are going on the 2 years in the house and the work is still not done and that is unacceptable, Now as far as the neighbors with issues I think its funny how they made sure to say within the last 90 days well the people I have spoken with are just fed up with the inactivity and the downright disrespect they have gotten from the representatives of D.R. Horton and some just don't know how to go about getting their issues expressed in the manner in which I am doing so. I really feel that it is a sad day when a company can't  and won't stand behind their product , when we all were buying they were so nice but now that there are problems we have become a nuisance. So yes I still would like a regional representative to come to Mobile and see what is going on in the [redacted] and understand that their company is doing some piss poor work on some of these homes

the final walk through list that was signed off by the customer.  A Construction Superintendent will be reaching out to the customer soon to inspect the driveway stain per their request. ·       A Work Order was sent to the electrician regarding the GFCI outlets in the kitchen who will schedule directly with the customer.  ·       No action will be taken on the sod as there is a 30-day warranty on new lawns per the warranty agreement.
