Re: [Chrysler300] Bad experience

[LabLoverDC@xxxxxxx]

I believe the proper thing to do is to share your experience, being as  
fair, honest and objective as you can.  I don't know the specifics of the  
other Forum case, but generally I believe it is very hard to successfully sue  
someone for telling the truth about an experience they had, or their opinion 
as  to the quality of a product they used.  In such a case, if someone  does 
sue, it is also possible to counter-sue for bringing a frivolous  lawsuit.  
The point is, while nobody wants to get involved in a lot of  meaningless 
legal action, are you really willing to let the fear of it stifle  your right 
to free speech, particularly when it might help a fellow member of  the 
club?  And when you think about it, you can find a review of almost  every 
product or service you can buy these days on the web, many of which are  
completely negative.  Think of eBay feedback, for example.  My point  is that it is 
extremely common for people to publicly state a negative view of  
something, yet almost never do you hear about a retaliatory suit in  response.  
 
I do think it is important to relate the experience factually, and as  
accurately as possible, trying to avoid value judgements, and avoiding telling  
others not to go to this dealership.  And you wouldn't want to say  
something like "I'm almost sure they put sugar in my tank when I wasn't  looking," 
or something similar which you couldn't substantiate.  Although  anything is 
possible, I think it would be very hard for the dealership to sue  you for 
honestly relating your experience (and probably unlikely, too, as that  would 
create almost unimaginable negative publicity and bad will).
 
So, I would say go ahead and tell us the nature of the experience,  
including information as to where it occurred, and let anyone reading draw their  
own conclusions with regard to using that facility.  It may save someone  
from a similar experience, or perhaps someone might chime in saying their  
experience at the same place was great.

Sorry, I should have had that the offended Forum member wrote about bad the 
 product was and from whom he had bought it.

Since then,  they do not mention names at all-but usually you can send the

I woud not mention the individual's  name.

Subject: [Chrysler300] Bad  experience

Hi all,

I recently bought a 300G convertible and had  a particularly unpleasant
experience with the dealer. Is this the kind of  thing that I should make
the members aware of?

Thanks for your  input

Jeffrey Britz
