Manufacturer will not warranty a fuel pump that poses a risk of injury. The machine in question had a defective gas tank. I was sent a replacement, upon removal of the fuel pump the fitting that passes through the tank has a stress fracture & the potential to leak fuel the is under pressure onto the hot exhaust.

I was told that because I did the replacement that I was responsible & should pay 300 for a new pump. I was not told that I was responsible by the dealer if I did the repairs under warranty myself. In fact the dealer is making warranty dollars or my labor time. please let me know if I have any legal action that can be taken.

bought my daughter a snowmobile jacket for christmas, and washed it this last weekend by it's self in cold water like it said and the black color ran into the other colors. would like to have the jacket replaced. We spent close to 160.00 on it. that includes shipping. Contacted the place we got it from and they said they couldn't do anything about it because it was over 30 days.

she won't ware it the way it looks. and with the cost of things these days they should do something about it .It was the only thing she got for christmas.Were not rich people and feel like we got ripped off ,i'am sure this must have happend to other people. I'am 52 years old and never had a problem with washing anything before.

On Thursday, January 3, 2008, I was operating my ARCTIC CAT 2005 Sabercat 700 LX. I started the machine and let it idle for approximately 10 minutes. I depressed the throttle to engage the clutch, and the machine moved forward appropriately. I was heading in a u-shaped pattern when I depressed the throttle again, and the throttle stuck. I was unable to reach the kill switch and narrowly avoided my home's deck. The vehicle continued to accelerate, and I was able to jump off sustaining minor injury. The vehicle crashed into a large pine tree.

On Friday, January 4, 2008, I looked over the vehicle and noticed the throttle cable was still exposed. The throttle cable looks like it malfunctioned and was unable to close. I would appreciate any explanation and or guidance in ascertaining why this mechanical malfunction transpired. The air box is clean and the sabercat has had no other issues. I have additional photos if needed. The vehicle was bought in 06-07. The machine has approximately 2300 miles and was in great condition.

The vehicle sustained major damge. I was lucky and only sustained bumps and bruises. I went to the hospital, via ambulanse, and was checked out ok. I also have photos of the scene prior to moving the vehicle.

My 1998 zr 600 efi snowmobile has 2400 miles and has a electrical problem that cost over 500.00 to fix. This is the first production of this model and I purchaced two snowmobiles in Dec. of 1997. I have read on the internet that there has been alot of people with the same problem. When I looked at the parts list for this snowmobile there were a lot of parts that have been superceeded to another part number.
