False claims by who? I've put my own experiences (all bad) about a van we bought some 8 years ago and the dealer.
No way were they going to do anything about excessive tyre wear after one short trip, pelmets falling off, shoddy curtain material etc. The tyre wear was immediately put down to us abusing the van and curtains to Moths"!
Many such stories of very bad workmanship from some of the high end products produced as
well as complete denial by dealers.
Many such stories on repairers websites as
well.
Not only have consumers been shunned by dealers/makers, but those bureaucrats employed in every state to "protect" them have ignored them.
I took action through WAs lot and weak they were in their response even to telling me they didn't want to take action against "an icon of the caravan industry". They did though as I don't take that crap from anyone. Then I took further action through the small claims court.
Got what we wanted although replacement curtains came tightly screwed up in a black plastic bag..... either the maker or dealer expressing their displeasure with my attitude. :)
The writings on the wall for the worst ones though as the Feds are apparently carrying out full investigations into their attitudes.
Plus the Lemon Van site owner has been to
Canberra at their invitation to put consumers case to them.
And I still suggest anyone thinking of putting their hard earned into a van
check the site out.
