DR Horton home built 2002....the plumbing fixtures that was placed in my house when it was built 2 years ago, need repairs. I CANNOT find replacement parts to make repairs. DR Horton has not helped me locate replacement parts, not will they warranty the fixtures they placed in my house. I have a commode that needs to be repaired as well as a bathroom sink faucet that needs repaired. How do i go about getting these items replaced or repaired?

We are worried about SLAPP but we bought a condo from 'America's Builder' and due to gross negligence we ended have mold.
California is one of the binding arbitration states.
What remedies do I have ? Can I sue for loss of value ?
Thanks.

Dear Organizational Representative,
Mr. Tuskes and Tuskes Homes of Bethlehem, PA have failed to address basic issues related to the building of our home and grading of our lot.
Tuskes Homes 4511 Falmer Drive Bethlehem, PA. 18020 610-691-1555 Fax:610-867-2261 http://www.tuskeshomes.com/enter.html
While a number of defects have been fixed, they continue to reject responsibility for several other major repairs.
Specifically: * Our basement has NO drainage because the house was excavated too deeply and they refuse to install a sub-pump.
* The company used sub-standard bricks in the building of our fireplace that allows water to penetrate during even the lightest drizzle. After we complained the company issued a letter to the entire development that they were aware of the leaking issue and that it was our responsibility to have it sealed (we were never made aware of the issue until this point in time and there is no mention of it in our 'closing manual').
* $1,000 was taken from us at closing for late closing fees as per our contract, however the late close was due to their not having the home completed to a reasonable standard and our lenders appraiser refused to sign-off on it. It has become apparent that the company uses this practice as a revenue source because it is 1 aware of their closing schedule and 2 is aware that non-local lenders will refuse this arrangement.
Our attempts to address these issues have proven equally pointless and frustrating to the extent that we placed a 'Buyer Beware' sign on our house over a weekend in August.
Additionally, we are concerned that future issues may arise that will also be neglected by this company and hope that you can work with them to ensure that their practices are changes.
I believe that the following actions should be taken:
1. The chimney should be sealed at their expenses. 2. The lot should be properly re-graded. 3. A sub-pump should be installed at their expense. 4. The $1000 fine should be returned with interest.
Additionally, I feel that these problems are fairly representative of this builder and a complete financial and business practice investigation should be immediately launched.
Please feel free to contact me at any time for additional information.
Very best regards,
