Reply to "2017 2018 JPS Business Update"

Some manufacturers are hard to get warranty work.

 

A example, my wife and I purchased a new 2017 Mercedes-Benz.

 

About a month after receiving the vehicle, we received a letter saying we needed to contact our local dealer, there is a recall and our vehicle maybe effected.

Called the dealer, gave them the vin # and was told, yes our vehicle is effected. I ask what was the issue and what did we need to do.

They said the center drive shaft bearing could come detached during a crash and the cause the fuel tank to rupture, thus causing a fire.

I ask when we could bring it in to get the recall taken care of. I was told they were waiting parts and would contact us when the parts were available.

About 30 days went by and I had not heard anything. Called the dealer for an update. Still waiting parts, they said. I ask what we could do and was told, not to drive the car, if we were concerned with the possible safety issue.

We did get a call and had the issue resolved about 4 months after purchasing the vehicle.

That's what one gets, when you buy a vehicle from a Fly-by-night company.
