RE: John Deere - Saber 20 hp 46 inch deck tractor - purchased about 1.5 years ago - had it for a short time, and it wouldn't start

About a year and half ago I bought a brand new Saber 20 hp 46 in deck John Deere tractor, I was so excited that I had a John Deere.

I had it for a short time and it would not start, called the dealer and they picked it up and fixed it and returned. Now after about 9 to 10 times since this continually happened the service department at the dealership finally billed me for fixing the same problem that I have had since I got it.

I called John Deere about the problem and they told me that the dealer would be happy to fix it again, well of course they would as long as I am paying for it. I told John Deere that this was a problem from when I bought it and Judy ( the supervisor for your company) basically told me too bad.

Your company doesn’t want to bother with me and your crappy equipment, so I will let everyone that I know and meet all about how your company doesn’t stand be hind your equipment.

You may have got my money once but it wont happen again and I will do my very best to make sure you don't get money from anyone else.

I am checking with a Lawyer about what I can do, in the mean time I may put the tractor on the back of my truck and drive around with a sign stating how many time in one and a half years it had to be fix and still does not run right.
