• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

How to get my spyder back - Contacts at corporate?

I am hoping that no news is not BAD NEWS on this one.

Seems like if things went well we'd have heard. But maybe not.
 
Huh. No update for a week? :dontknow:

Anyway, everybody is different, but like others have said, there's no way a dealer is holding my Spyder for three weeks without me picking it up and taking it to another dealer, let alone three-- or more-- months.

And I say this as someone who HAS had pretty sketchy, "We'll get to it when we get to it" dealer service. I roll with it most of the time, I long ago factored it into the exotic "cost" of Spyder ownership.

What I find most peculiar is that I've *used* Trumbull once before, and I was thrilled with them. A few years ago by now, but it was same day service-- the only one in the DC area that does that-- and at a reasonable (for here) price. The only reason I never used them again was simply it was too much of a hike to get out there when I have a "good enough" dealer less than ten miles down the road. Can't believe they went that far downhill, that fast.

Anyway, shame that this has happened, but my advice to everyone is the same: there is being polite, there is being patient, and there is being a pushover. Don't let it get that far, no matter WHAT the product.
 
You don't need to bring BRP into this pi**ing match...
The others have given you courses of actions to take when you go meet with the dealer. :gaah:
Good Luck! :thumbup:

Why not Bob? To be a repair shop you must be dealer of BRP equipment or you cannot get BUDs and with out that you can't work on the Spyders. BRP made a closed system. I would go to the papers and write a letter to the editor. Talk to your bar association, they may be helpful with the legal part. There may be some thing that you can do with international trade. Talk to a lawyer. That's IMHO.

Ask BRP about this... ;)
They'll tell you that they do NOT control what their dealers do.
They can make a call to them, should an issue come up the line that far... :shocked:
It's when a dealer collects enough complaints, that they'll consider pulling the franchise... :yikes:
 
Thanks all!

Per a suggestion here I checked the dealers list and they were no longer on it so I started to freak out even more. I called BRP Customer Service at 888-272-9222 and they confirmed that the dealer IS a current dealer despite not being on the map. They also recommended that I stop in and said "some dealers aren't good about answering the phone or returning calls". Seriously?!

This dealer is closed Mondays and some Thursdays according to the customer service lady. So, I'm planning to drive down there on Tuesday. I've ordered a micro start because I'm sure they've not had it connected to a tender. At the very least I want to get it off the lot. I have insurance and an extended warranty so calling for a tow is definitely an option if it's not driveable. It was perfectly driveable when I dropped it off but who knows what they've done it.

I'm not sure if I should tell them I'm coming or just show up? They don't answer or return calls but I ASSUME they're listening to them.

The dealer in question is Trumbull Motorsports in Mechanicsville, MD. When I first bought my spyder they had good reviews and currently all I can find is bad and worse. Needless to say I won't ever be going back there again.

Are you talking about the Mechanicsville MD dealer. They are out of business now. I took my bike to them in November and they open the stores maybe once or twice a week. I noticed that other dealers were going to their store and pick up crates of merchandise. At that time I figure out that something was shady, therefore I took my bike and ran as fast I could. Two month later they were closed.

That sounds pretty bad for the OP. I hope she gets her Spyder back.
 
I've had 4 instrument clusters on my 2010 RT. The issue with the rear suspension is one that has to be addressed each time the cluster is changed. It requires a hook up to BUDS and a setting of the maximum and minimum height settings in the computer. The service manual tells how to do it. I've helped my dealer do it on mine several times. No parts were required.
 
Sorry to hear about your problem. If you can go pick it up do so as soon as possible. Here is a little more information.

The the corporation of Trumbull Motorsports has been forfeited in the state of Maryland and has not filed it's 2015 property tax report. This can be found with the Secretary of State of Maryland. The registered agent, who is an Attorney, is PATRICK R HUDSON
3915 LEONARDTOWN RD
WALDORF, MD 20604. I would send him a registered letter and I would I wire with BRP who is the owner as well.

Go pick it up now if possible. If not contact the police and your insurance company of the loss.

I heard the same thing, The Spyder Mechanic that use to work there now works at Coleman's Power Sport.
