  Lemon Law case. Purchased a Polaris side by side. We purchased the most inclusive extended warranty available. Our vehicle has been repaired by Polaris under *******. warranty and under the extended warranty. We have approached them repeatedly and they just want us to keep bringing it in to be worked on. Each time we do this they assure us that it is fixed. Then we travel out of state repeatedly and every single time the vehicle fails. we are out of options

  Hello,

   

   

  Sorry to hear about the issues you are having with your General. Polaris works directly with our authorized dealerships to repair machines. Warranty is in place to fix machines and not replace them if at all possible. If you are currently having issues with the machine currently, Polaris would advise bringing it back to the dealer so the dealership can work with our corporate technicians to get to the bottom of the issues you are having with your machine. Polaris would advise continuing to work with your case owner to come to a resolution on your issues. We can be reached at ************** and reference your case number that you have been assigned C-8369227.

  I purchased a 2023 Polaris snowmobile last April. Since then a stop ride has been issued to the snowmobile primary clutch (p22). Its is now January 17th and no parts are available for the fix. My snowmobile season will end mid February due to work. I have already missed 2 planned trips out west to the mountains. I have called Polaris customer service numerous times in regards to this issue with no resolution. The answer I receive is no good will is being offered at this time. Im asking Polaris to do the right thing and extend my manufactures warranty since I may no get to ride the snowmobile. I basically have a $19,000 paper weight sitting in my garage taking up space. *** even asked for my money back and I will move on from Polaris as this is unacceptable to me from a company. I feel like they have stolen $19,000 from me and our just laughing about it. Anything that could be done to resolve this matter would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello,

   

   

  Thank you for reaching out. Sorry to hear that your sled is affected by a recall and waiting on parts to arrive. We are doing all that we can to get parts shipped out as quickly as we receive them. Your dealer is going to have the most up to date information on when your parts will be arriving for your specific sled. As far as goodwill, our snow team is not offering anything at this time. If we offer something to one we have to offer it for everyone and no goodwill has been offered. If that changes you will be notified accordingly.

   I am rejecting this response because: I paid money for a vehicle to use in the winter and cant use it. Why were the 24 models equipped with the warranty parts and shipped? Was it because Polaris had a shipping deadline that they guaranteed customers the snowmobile shipped by a certain date or the customer received a $1500 rebate? So instead of taking care of the 23 models which people already paid for, they went ahead and equipped the 24 models so they would not have to pay the rebate. Ive been in contact with others in my situation and they have received good will. Im asking Polaris to stand behind their paying customers and extend my warranty. I have missed one trip out west and will miss another trip next Friday. Im currently employed in law enforcement and suffer from ptsd from numerous serious incidents at work. Snowmobiling in the mountains is my escape and therapy. *** explained this to customer's service but they dont seem to care. Just do the right thing!

  I purchased a new 2023 Polaris 570 Northstar sxs with a 1 year warranty, 6 months into ownership I developed issues with the drivers door splitting apart at the seam also the same door window gasket keeps falling out 4 times now repaired by dealer still falls out. Dealer tells me they requested a complete replacement door from Polaris but Polaris refuses to replace the door. As I use the door the split becomes larger its only a matter of time before loose flap catches on something and tears off entire outter skin of door. I do not understand how Polaris can just walk away from this it is obviously a defect covered under warranty. I have several pictures of this issue I can forward. I have tried to contact Polaris myself as urged to do so by my dealer, ****************** , **********, **. #1 The dealer should be getting satisfaction from Polaris it to whom Polaris directs the customer to resolve issues. #2 I have email and called Polaris directly with no return contact.

  This complaint needs to be forwarded to CEO, *******************************, and *******************************, Chief Product Excellence, Quality and Safety Officer. My next communications will be addressed to the Attorney General of *****************. I have already sent communications directly to Polaris; customer service department. This company has failed its patrons miserably. In March of 2021, I snowchecked a 2022 Polaris XCR 850 with a 136 in. track. It was due to arrive in October. I did not receive it until the end of January of 2022, half way into our winter season in ****************. In the spring of 2022, I received a stop ride order for a recall for a fuel pump. That part did not arrive until February of 2023, once again half way into the winter season. On July 13, 2023, I received my next stop ride for a recall for a primary clutch, order #s-2306. Once again, as winter has arrived there is no part in sight, yet this same clutch is being installed in new models that are leaving the dealership floor right now. Polaris has failed its commitment, Geared for Good. It is not meeting the standards the Polaris company used to have, robbing consumers of confidence. My first sled was a 69 Polaris Colt. My first new sled was a **** Indy Trail. Since 2010, I have bought 13 to 14 side by sides, in a value of at least $100,000 from the best dealer ever, ********************* of ******* Polaris in Newport, **. He is the only reason I have continued to stand by Polaris products. We have always been a Polaris family, but the company is not living up to its promises to us, releasing unsafe, faulty machines that cost a great deal of money from hard-working ********* like myself. At this point, I believe I should be credited on my ********* account from ********************** for every month that my Polaris sled has been nothing more than a $16,000 paperweight. Shame on Polaris for continuing to churn out machines, drawing in new customers, while doing nothing to make existing customers whole.

  Hello,

   

  Thank you for reaching out to Polaris. We are sorry to hear that your sled is affected by the latest clutch recall. Safety is our number one priority for all of our riders. We are doing all that we can to get parts shipped out as quickly as we can. As far as any compensation or refund, we are not providing this on any of the bulletins you have been affected by. If our snow team chooses to provide compensation, you will be notified accordingly. A agent reached out via email and a voicemail earlier this morning. We will continue to work with you until the dealer has the parts that they need. Once again, we cannot apologize enough for the inconvenience that bulletins due cause our consumers, but can assure you we are doing everything we can to get parts shipped out as quick as we receive them.

  In the past 12 years I have spent a quarter of a million dollars on this company's products.  However, my experience with this snowmobile has been the worst. My response from the company has been awful. It is as if they only care about making money. They say safety is their priority but they sold me a machine that had a stop ride order for all of last season and again this year. I should be reimbursed for all the time lost using what is a $16000 paperweight.  Polaris has failed to meet their former standards of excellence I used to rely on. My dealer, *********************, is amazing.  Shame on Polaris for making him deal with your messes.

  Hello,

  I purchased a Polaris RZR 200 for my son in early 2023. We were issued a stop use instruction from Polaris in early September of 2023 until they find a repair for a potential steering rack failure. Weve contacted our dealer every couple of weeks and theyve indicated not only has Polaris not provided parts or repair instructions there hasnt been any communication regarding WHEN a repair will be available. Meanwhile my son is aging out of the machine (hes getting big!), making its ownership and use less valuable, and its depreciating rapidly as it sits in the garage. I recognize engineering mistakes happen, but when you make a mistake fix it as quickly as possible! Months of waiting with no communication is completely unacceptable. Especially given the cost of this product. Hey Polaris, take back your company from the legal department and do the right thing for your loyal customers.

  Business Response

  Hello,

   

  Thank you for contacting Polaris. I am sorry to hear your RZR 200 is affected by a recall. Polaris has since issued a fix for this issue as of November 30th. You should be receiving a mailer on this very soon. Polaris would advise scheduling a time with your authorized dealership to get this scheduled. Parts have already started to ship out to dealers to complete these repairs. Polaris cannot apologize enough for the downtime that this has caused. If you have any further questions please reach out to our Owner Connections Team to discuss further. We can be reached at **************.

  I have a 2022 POLARIS RZR 200 EFI, Model #: Z22HCB18A2, and received a stop ride notice (Z-23-06) on 9/7/23. The manufacturer has no solution for repair as of 11/3/23. Polaris has communicated that once a remedy is finalized, it is the owner's financial responsibility to trailer it to a service facility. Additionally, Polaris has communicated that even when a solution is identified, the needed parts need to be produced and available at their service centers, which adds more time. A stop ride notice means that the owner cannot use the vehicle. Polaris has declined providing any compensation for the time lost/ missed utility or for paying the cost to transport the vehicle to be serviced in the future.

  Hello,

   

  Sorry to hear that your RZR 200 is affected by a stopped ride recall at this time. Polaris cannot apologize enough for the inconvenience that this has caused. Engineering is doing all that they can at this time to release a fix for this issue. If any compensation is going to be offered, you will be notified accordingly. On any stop ride recall that Polaris releases, we do assist with 1 hour of transportation assistance. Once a fix has been released and a update is available you will be notified of the repair solution. Again, we cannot apologize for the inconvenience that this has caused.

  I purchased a new zrz200 December of last year. Two months ago I received a recall that said I can no longer use it. I contacted polaris today. I was told there's nothing they will do. You can not sell someone something for several thousands of dollars then tell them they can't use it for a undetermined amount of time. I can understand having a recall. And getting it fixed. Polaris does not have a fix for this. I request my money back for this defective vehicle.

  I purchased a 2022 Polaris Boost snowmobile on January 16th, 2022 for $25600.48 The snowmobile was derived January 16th 2022, months after it was supposed to be, leading to missing 1/2 of the snowmobile season. Shortly after I received it I got a "stop ride notice" from Polaris stating that due to a recall I was unable to use my snowmobile. Its stayed in this state for the majority of the snowmobile season. I was able to ride the snowmobile under 20% of what I should have been able to.In the fall of 2022 there was another "stop ride notice" issued then another then another. Currently I have had 4 " stop ride notices that lasted months each since I purchased the snowmobile. So the winter of 2022/2023 Well over half of the season I was unable to ride my snowmobile due to all the " stop ride notices". Currently going into 2023/24 season there is currently a "stop ride notice" I do not know how long this will last but my season should be starting in the next week and I am unable to use my snowmobile. My warranty ends on January 14th ****. I'm not sure if I will be even able to ride before that.My complaint is that for the majority of the supplied warranty I was unable to use my snowmobile due to their recalls. These sleds have been known now to have lots of problems. Coming into this season hopefully I will be able to start using my snowmobile and I am worried that seeing how I was barely able to use it over the last 2 years I will start having problems and it will not be covered by warranty. It seems almost intentional that they sell these unreliable snowmobiles and won't let you use them until they are not covered by warranty anymore.I am looking for them to extend my warranty My VIN is *****************

  I am not just upset that my sled is currently in a stop ride recall. 
  

  The fact is that I have barley been able to use it over the last 2 years because it been constantly in stop rides and recalls and I have barley been able to use it. Now my warranty is almost up without being able to ride my machine. Its outrages that during my warranty period I was barley able to use my sled because of problems that were caused by your bad engineering and product assembly . It was caused by Polaris not building a quality product. I dont think its unfair in any way to ask for my warranty to be extended.

  Purchased a 2023 Polaris Razor ATV from a local Polaris dealer 2/27/23. Received a recall stop ride notice from Polaris Z-***** 9/7/23 via email concerning a possible steering rack failure. Have been unable to get any credible information or updates as to when a repair can be expected. Their customer service is basically useless for information and only provide a scripted response. I have a useless vehicle now that I'm paying for and I would like a credible and realistic response from Polaris concerning this issue. I have inquired via Email and I have received canned responses that they are working on a repair. I would appreciate some timeline and at least some updates from Polaris, this recall affects approx ****** of their machines. I understand the need for time to resolve the issue but it would be helpful if updates were being provided and some resolutions were coming. I'm frustrated with the fact that I am paying for a machine that I purchased in good faith and not happy with the response I've received from Polaris or the dealer. I believe that Polaris should be prepared to compensate vehicle owners for their mistake in some fashion.
