Electronics Express --bad radio install and ruining of electrical system in car

Electronics Express (Rivergate), Nashville, TN Date March 2,2007

I had a radio installed at Electronics Express in Nashville TN. It was

nothing

fancy, just a regular radio. They said that it did not something was wrong

and

they needed to "hard wire" it onto the battery. I was taking a trip and

thought

that it would be fine until I got back, I just needed to remember to turn

the

radio off when I got out of the car.


Not long after I left the store, the radio wouldn't work, so I called

Electronics Express back and they sent me to another store, where another

installer was waiting. He supposedly fixed the problem. (What I learned

later is

that he only compounded the problem). Well, on my way out of town I only got

to

Manchester before the car died.


I got a jump and was trying to get back to Nashville when I just had to

pull

over because it was dark. That's when a policeman in Lavergne stopped to

help me

and noticed that the wire coming from the radio was wrapped around my

tierod,

and had been against my exhaust and had melted. This had caused the fuse to

blow. When I took it to the other installer he had put bigger fuses in my

car,

which eventually just made the whole elecrical system go. The cost to me was

$49 for bad installation, $545.00 car repair, and $60.00 in car rental.


I have contacted them many times and they are not willing to do anything. I

will

be filing a civil suit against them. WHATEVER you do, do not get

Electronics

Express to install your radio!
