Corvette in the garage for 5+ months

Tag: Consumers, GM, Lawrence Cannon, Politicianssergelbergeron @ 11:25 am

Mr. Turanovic gave us permission to reproduce emails of his extensive battle to get his 2008 Corvette plated in Canada - ref - Bumper problems.  In this exchange of e-mails, P.O. Tremblay of Transport Canada,  even admits that Transport Canada and the Canadian Public is at the mercy of GM. He admits that  the Car Companies are running the show!   When will Cannon wake up and change the law!  When will Cannon just wake up!

CWB members can you help our friend?

EcoAuto Rebate - state your case

Tag: Consumers, Lawrence Cannonsergelbergeron @ 10:35 pm

You will notice on the right side of our site a new form EcoAuto state your case. If you imported a qualifying car and would like to share your data we will tabulate the numbers and it will give us more power to deal with Transport Canada.  This is not a petition - only those that have actually imported one of those hybrids or very high fuel efficiency cars.  Example ( Prius, Camry Hybrid, Yaris, some Civics, etc)

Our RIV survey results - 65 votes - 79% unsatisfied

The RIV continues to change the VAFUS lists without regard to consumers.  BMW, MB, Volvo are all off the list. Members on this website and on Edmunds forums are extremely disatisfied.  Many want action.  The matter is getting worse week afer week - so CWB is prepared to assist at putting together a team of volunteers to go after the RIV/TC.  We will have to apply pressure like we’ve never done before.  If you have courage, determination and like teamwork please join the team.  Send an email to Bob or Serge

EcoAuto rebates - time for action

We are unable to find the truth about the ecoAuto refunds - but then again they are not saying anything so no one is not not-telling the truth. 

Here is my e-mail to the Assistant Deputy Minister.  If you would be entitled to an eco-Auto refund, please register your case on the site - we will use the names from the site to support our position.  If there is no action, CWB will escalate.

 E-Mail to ADM - ecoAuto refunds

Are you entitled to the rebate? - check out over 30 models at TC’s site
