there have been several high-profile incidents of quality issues outside of the context of the mtv program. in 2015, trisha paytas, a singer-songwriter and internet personality, had her three-week old 2014 mercedez-benz g-wagen customized by wcc. among other customizations, she requested that the car be painted pink, that swarovski crystals be integrated into the headrests and steering wheel, and that the floormats be changed out with customized ones. according to paytas, after bringing in her vehicle, she was promised that it would be ready by november 17, but the company missed both that deadline and a further one on december 9. after the second deadline was missed, she uploaded a vlog to youtube about her experience, and thereafter claimed that wcc threatened her with a lawsuit if she refused to remove it. december 17 became the deadline that the company would ultimately keep, but when paytas came to pick up the vehicle, she found that none of the electronic components worked, including those that are required for safety in the united states, such as turn signals, headlights, and windshield wipers. furthermore, the dashboard instruments did not function. to her complaints about these issues, paytas claims that the company told her to drive the car home and then to the mercedez-benz dealership from which she bought it to ask them for an in-warranty repair. paytas uploaded yet another vlog five days after this incident, after which point wcc uploaded its own video in the form of a scrolling text public relations statement. in the statement, besides denying that they had "talked down" to paytas, wcc denied that its customization was the reason for the issues with her vehicle, claimed that the vehicle was late because she had changed what she had ordered "several times", denied that they had ignored paytas as she claimed, and invited paytas to contact them with any further requests or complaints for an "immediate resolution," noting that they had already committed to fix the problem (which, though they wrote it was "unrelated to their services", they would do it anyway "as part of providing excellent customer service"). the company also noted its track record, but did not provide any concrete details. as of 23 december 2016, the statement-as-youtube video, which has had its comments disabled, had 261 "likes" and 1,652 "dislikes", or a ratio of 6.32 dislikes for every 1 like.
