What the hell did they do to my Spyder

[MoonChaser213]

bjt, you get a bunny stamp for paying attention. Yes , I ordered a new cluster from a dealer in Sanford when I was told I needed a new cluster. I un-ordered the cluster from Sanford , had to pay a restock fee, but I decided NOT to back down from Ride Now. I knew what was happening was just WRONG on so many levels..... As of right now...BRP has come to my rescue with a new cluster. I will acknowledge them in a new thread when my spyder is actually running properly. I only will have to pay 45.00 for labor to put it in. I wanted to argue about that too, but decided to "throw in my cards and pull out" while I was ahead. Of course Ride Now wants the credit for BRP's generosity....but we all know who the thanks really goes to. ...All of my cyber-spyder friends. :2thumbs: I love you guys.:bowdown:

Good luck

If you need some backup with your complaints to BRP, give them my phone number and my wife will torch their ears about RideNot.
They didnt want to refund my service warranty until I mentioned the States Attorney, so you might drop that line on them and see if Lyle the general mgr will drop the $45 charge.
Also, RideNow Corporate office is in Arizona, wife may have their #

I think he said the dealer was going to replace it (so he 'Had' one) but now they are going back on that and they want him to fork up some money to make it happen.

See Ron, I do know what I'm talking about.

We use Seminole powersports in Sanford and they have been great. Have had no problems with our Spyder They did all the recalls and updates even called us to tell us about them.

You are always right! I don't know why I try to mess with perfection! I humbly implore your forgiveness for ever intertaining the notion! :bowdown:

And next time I'll read the post before I say anything! :roflblack:

Recon, lets get the spyderlovers in this area together and open a BRP dealership. We know what it takes to run a successful business. I want to be in charge of the parties. Someone else has to be in charge of fixin mechanics. but we could make a party out of that too. LOL:f_spider:

That actually doesn't sound like too bad of an idea to me at this point either. If nothing else at least my Spyder would be taken care of.

OK SpyderWolf,

We need to start a new thread about this so everyone interested can find it. I think it's a great idea. We need money, real estate on 441 centrally located. Between Ocala and Gainesville would be nice. A dealership, someone in charge of getting a mechanics team together, a sales team that says hello when someone walks in the door. Need someone to do accounting, ...Did I mention money?......My job would be to keep everybody HAPPY. , To smooze the forems ---make sure everyone knows about us, organize rydes and benefits. This COULD be done.....does anyone want to come out of retirement? Maybe...if the job came from the heart the whole dealership could be run by SpyderLovers.:clap:

 

[krb1945]

Yep, you need a minimum of 5 million dollars if you want to start a decent shop and sales... If you try to start it with just a Million you will not survive in todays economy. You not only want Spyders but you also want Honda and possibly one other make. Then you can get the parts to meld some of Honda's better systems into the Spyder. And keep in mind you cannot have more than 49 employees due to upcoming taxes and free medical birth to death taxes. Ken krb1945

You might have your heart in it, But how long before that Hart breaks, after your costumers come in with a broken Spyder and you have to tell them = Parts On Back Order come back in a few weeks or so.
ECM,OBO, Going into the 3th. week. :gaah:

Hi Ken

True, it would take millions. I'm the PR person, what job position would you like in this dream dealership? We need to sale jet skis, and boat motors maybe. Evenrue.
greetings
boborgera. In my dream dealership, the parts manager would have a working relationship with the distributer of parts. he would know how to get parts the quickest to make your down time mineable. When ordering , he would ask how many were available and take notes in case the problem comes up again. He would be ahead of the problem. My parts manager would call you daily with updates so you never felt forgotten. My dealership also would never leave your Spyder out in the weather. Your parts would be tracked by computer to make sure they don't wander off. IF, boboregera for some reason your spyder was down for awhile due to parts, no worries because you would be riding around on my loaner ( with the company logo on it of course) . Have a great day!!!

Moonchaser, remember me telling you not to go to RideNow???

These are the same ones who intentionally sold me a new??? RTS that had been used as a demo without telling me it had 200 miles on it. They knew the transmission was bad from those demos and still sold it to me knowing it would fail...2 miles from the dealer it blew the trans; BUT here is the real reason why they dumped it on me...if demos tore up the trans it was their dime, but if they told BRP a new customer tore it up at 200 miles then BRP would pay the fix.
I look the other way when I go past that place even in my car; I cancelled all my warranties through them and now have a better warranty with another dealer. Oh, did I mention that I had to pay $155 tow to return their blown transmission to them?

I think both of you need to file complaints here: http://myfloridalegal.com/pages.nsf/Main/60FD9BD8FA71A5B185256CD1005EE5C5
Those complaints leave a good paper trail with the attorney general's office.. might help other folks out in the future. If two or three owners have had problems here on this forum.. imagine how many other complaints there are out there. .02

 

[krb1945]

If your talking about filing a complaint with the FL AG Bill McCullum don't waste your time. He lets companies like this one, direct tv and others police themselves when they have customer compliants. I have first hand knowledge of this. To put it bluntly the FL AG wants the fox to guard the hen house. Ken krb1945

How much % did ride now give you back on your warranty and had you had a service done on it yet I am with them and there work is not up to par and with there warranty I can't go any were else:helpsmilie:

RideNot

I threatened them with the states attorney for all the trouble they put us through and they cancelled my warranty. We were going to get a BEST from CanAm, but they are having a problem with it in Florida, so we went with another dealer warranty from a dealer farther away.
We had 600 mile done there, it took 9 hours. I asked when we showed up for our scheduled appt 1/2 hour early (8:30 for a 9 am appt) how long it would take; they said 2 1/2 hrs....so I gave them 4 hrs and returned at 1 pm...they hadnt touched it, and we sat around until 3pm...still not done. I saw someone with a CanAm logo on his shirt so I asked was he a rep for them; He said he was but only for the watercraft and I told him my problem anyway. He went to the service dept and we had our Spyder in an hour. I dont think they did the recalls on it, but I'll find out Monday when other dealer does my 3000 miles.
We wont ever set foot in RideNot again.

 

[MoonChaser213]

Wow , Recon,

you racked up 3000 miles pretty quick , UMMM? hopefully this week my spyder will be up to running with your spyder. I'm not gonna plan a ryde until I get my bike back. that's called countin your chickens befor thay hatch. I'll keep in touch.

Sounds like RIDE-NOT fits this dealership pretty well...

 

[spyder_RT]
