This poor bloke paid $60,000 for a Jeep that turned out to be a lemon. He stood his ground on the issue (I note that in Australia us real men can stand our ground without the aid of a gun phallic symbol) to the point of Fiat Chrysler Australia offering him a full refund of $60,000.
However this is an Australian we're talking about, and we don't like being told to shut up (whatever the bullshit FOX fuckwits reckon) and he's turned it down. The thinking being that other car buyers should know what he's been through with the company and the lemon.
Problems with the 4WD included burning smells in the car, steering that constantly drifted to the left and the loss of power.
In early November, he wrote and starred in a YouTube film clip denouncing the company’s handling of numerous complaints he had lodged on his ‘lemon’ Jeep.
The catchy car-themed and complaint-riddled parody of Redfoo’s New Thang gathered 2.1 million views in the past month and prompted FCA to come back with the offer of a partial refund.
The most recent offer was a full refund of the cost of the car, in return for Mr Sethi’s silence.
The gag order also indemnified the rest of Mr Sethi’s family and any associates, which include a group working to install lemon laws in Australia.
Although he wanted to resolve the matter with the company, he said he did not want to be ‘gagged’ or ‘bullied’ in the process. “That’s how they keep people under wraps,” he told The New Daily.
“I can’t sign that offer for a few reasons. [Under the terms] I can’t help anyone else… the last thing I can do is take that money and run and leave everyone else who has contacted me for help.” The New DailyHe's even put together a song about it on YouTube. Quite well done actually, with Australian humour as well.
