    Have used their chips before and liked them but my most recent purchase for my **** ** caused the car to drink gas like no other, I lost 75% of my fuel economy, not exaggerating either, my car said I had 100 miles to empty and I ran out of gas in 30 miles I took it out and it went back to normal. I lit ruined my catalytic converter and had to replace that for 1500$ too. Worst of all I ask to return their faulty product and they have the nasty to tell me they won’t provide a shipping label.

    Absolutely a scam. Left it plugged in for well over the 500 miles and it did Absolutely nothing. Company won't return. Can't believe they haven't been shut down yet. This is the true "snake oil" scam.

    I followed the instructions and installed on my ****** Truck and noticed NOTHING except is blinking all the time even when the truck is not running or having key in ignition.. I purchased stage 3 last year and I give plenty time to learning habits like they recommend…. From all this I have learned it’s a SCAM AND I LOST MY MONEY!!! I just cannot believe my self how naive I was , I have read the reviews on their website… it’s all roseeeee but in my view it’s a total waste of time and money, another lesson learned!!!

    Thorton Website claim HP boost and MPG increase on their top of the line tuning chip, offering you a trial period to try it out.(During trial period there is no mention you must drive 150 miles for the chip to work until you open install instructions.) Purchased two chips about 6 weeks apart. No power increase to the *** ***** ********, No MPG Improvement. Took awhile for 150 miles, this car is driven very little 20K, and it's a 2021. I became extremely suspicious, the power control module failed just around 135 miles after chip install. Thorton, after no returned calls, emailed me. Denied any issues ever from their company who has been in Business since 2008 they make no mistakes! After I voiced my suspicion, the chip produced failure to the power control module. Car never been in shop for any issues, ran perfectly before installing Thorton Chip.
    Meanwhile, the 2nd Chip arrived for 2025 ***** *** Truck. The chip would not install properly after several attempts. No support or comments from Thorton other than telling me the same instructions with installation process that came with the chip. They did say certain lights would illuminate. I explained they did not, was why I asked for support. Removed Chip not driving the Truck and requested refund of both chips.
    Thorton said they examine the unit then authorize a refund, taking another 7 days.
    * No place on their website for feedback, but shows only positive reviews by past customers with 4 or 5 stars with 90% 4 Star 100% 5 Star! NOT ONE WITH 3 OR UNDER! BBB rates, Thorton "F". I took the time to post this to warn others of bad product, bad service with difficult refunds and time to refund while I wait for my refund*

    This company is a scam!! They sell you the a fake tuner that just flashes when you plug it in to the scanner port. It did absolutely nothing to my truck for performance or gas mileage! I called and demanded my money back but I wasn't successful in doing so. I don't not recommend this product to anyone looking for a boost in performance just a was of $$$!!!
