GBI have come to the conclusion that if… I have come to the conclusion that if you are in need of a modified vehicle, stay away from these guys. The staff is nothing more than a bunch of ill-prepared used car salesmen, with minimal knowledge of the needs of the people they profess to serve. I was sold a vehicle that is, in retrospect, unable to meet my needs (I am a tetraplegic), despite the salesman's best attempts to convince me otherwise. I was ripped off. Contrary to company policy, no measurements were ever taken. I fell for the assurances of the salesman. My bad. The real problem has been trying to resolve the issues. This is where the "used car salesmen" shine. I am trying to get a different vehicle that is approximately the same price but with a slightly larger layout. It has become a numbers game, having nothing to do with meeting the needs of the handicapped consumer. I will be chatting this situation up in (all) the various spinal cord injury forums, in more detail. In the meantime, stay away from Freedom Motors.

GBBeware I used Freedom Motors(FMI) for a manual conversion of my van. I previously had a manual conversion by another company. I never heard a sound from my old van; no muffler noise or rattle from the Q'straints. Both vans are rear entry conversions. The FMI conversion van had a noisy muffler from day 1 of conversion and the Q'straints rattle over every small bump. The length of the front Q'strsint is not long enough to attach from the rear compartment; the old van did. To attach, I have to drape myself over the middle seat. It's not very convenient on a good day and then add cargo/groceries in the middle seat, and rain, wind and bitter cold with your butt literally hanging out the side of the van. I knew the original middle seats would be replaced but was not until delivery that the seats do not move or recline. Overall I'm disappointed with the result and know that they could have installed different Q'straints to eliminate the rattle and refused to rectify without additional cost.

GBWe bought a Chevy Silverado 1500… We bought a Chevy Silverado 1500 conversion and it has been the biggest mistake ever. It went through quality control twice and still I have to keep fixing stuff. They glue the magnets on everything to work with the sensors and they keep falling off leaving us stuck wherever we are till I can get it fixed. It leaks air really bad cause the door doesn't seal right. The salesman tweaked the front fender before I left their parking lot with it, the fender needs to be replaced but all they did was realign it so there's a big gap and it sticks out a 1/4". I had spent a night there just so they could fix the door so it wouldn't hit the fender. Then after driving 9 hours home it didn't work and I had to take it 2 hours to the closest repair shop. I'm very dissatisfied with the truck and how ive been treated by them about it. This is my first negative comment I've made but I felt I needed to warn ours about these issues. I think we have to pay so much extra for these vehicles so we can enjoy life with our situations and we should get a high quality product in exchange.

GBI regret that I spent $85,000 for a 2022 Toyota… I spent $85,000 for a 2022 Toyota Sienna conversion. We realized too late that Toyota dealers won't service the conversion van. We have had multiple electronic problems with blind spot monitors, cross track motion sensors and an emergency brake sensor. The company will not respond to my demand for a trade in or return. Avoid Freedom Motors. I wish I had known the problems we would have.

GBI am very disturbed because the van we… I am very disturbed because the van we waited 8 weeks for was not what we received. When I spoke with Justine Laurette the sales manager he did not listen, he tried "sell me". We ordered 2 jump seats on a long channel ramp. We got bench seat across the second row making the van unusable. At no time did anyone express concern for the mistake. I was expected to fix the problem myself. When I order a customized vehicle I don't want to make changes. The administration was poor and unreliable.
