Bussman, If the dollar is mighty then effect their ability to make it.I know its more difficult on your end but try this.1. definitely get a civil case started, they pressure will begin to work, save all documents, emails, and record all conversations with theses people. Notify them that you are recording (legal issue).2. Go into the store as often as possible and complain as to see the manager and then begin to get loud!!!I know nobody like to be that guy, but if other customers see a upset client, they will think twice about buying and it will effect business.3. Call your local attorney general offices, not albany, they may have existing files going.I worked there and they have the least power, only if there are many with the same situation.4. Call and complain to the better business bureau, not that effective but gets a track record going like the AG's office.5. Possibly get and ad in the newspaper and let others know and see if all of you can get a settlement you can live with.6. Pressure Mercury and let them know about the dealership and the product! why will they not honor the warranty? Were you sold a item under false pretenses? or is it product defect?
June 9, 2006Robert Colmerauer,This letter is in rebuttal to Eric Geiger of Boat N RV Warehouses response to my complaint #33004208. He is trivializing this entire issue. He wants to focus on the paint but continues to ignore the issue of mechanical problems reported to Mercury before I purchased the boat and motor. The largest but not only issue here is that they had a problem with this motor that is documented with Mercury yet Eric Geiger continues to try to make this out as me complaining about paint. In his letter dated May 19, 2006 he claims he offered to replace my lower unit no cost to me including travel time. This is a false statement. Actually at the time he wrote that letter he had not offered to repair or replace anything. His warranty man (Danny) claimed my Motor was 100% even after I emailed them pictures of the lower unit showing the paint and confronted them with the fact that there was no record of the resolution to the problems reported to Mercury.As you recommended, I will pursue this with an attorney if need be and I understand that since Boat NRV has already received an Unsatisfactory rating with the BBB that there is nothing more you can do for me. I would request that you do not record this as resolved because Boat NRV has twisted this issue to make me out to be the unreasonable one. George Bussiere
