  I purchased a Seadoo switch sport compact brand new which came with the trailer. The only trailer that was offered which was a painted trailer. The trailer started rusting instantly. I followed all rinsing and maintenance to the ** The trailer started rusting at the weld points. I brought it in to the dealer right away.

  Dear Better Business Bureau,I am writing to file a formal complaint against BRP regarding a new jetski I purchased that has been inoperable since the date of purchase. Below are the key details of my complaint:Date of Transaction: October 24, 2023 Amount Paid: $20,144.53 Business Commitment: BRP committed to providing me with a fully functional personal watercraft (PWC). However, the jetski has not worked from day one.Nature of Dispute: BRP has failed to communicate effectively and resolve the issue with my jetski, which is still at the dealership for repairs. Despite numerous attempts to seek a resolution, BRP has closed my case as if it was corrected, which is not true.Business Efforts to Resolve the Problem: BRP has communicated very little effort and failed to resolve the issue in a timely manner.Advertising: This issue does not involve advertising.The lack of support and communication from BRP has been extremely frustrating and disappointing. I have made multiple attempts to get this issue resolved, including detailed communications with BRP outlining my expectations. Despite this, the jetski remains at the dealership, and my case has been unjustly closed.I am seeking your assistance in mediating this dispute and ensuring that BRP fulfills their commitment to providing me with a working jetski or offers a fair resolution.Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please feel free to contact me if you need any additional information.

  I just tested the Seadoo and it still does not operate appropriatly; the ski feels under powered (maxes out at 58) and shakes vigorously at low speeds. So much so that the Garmin screen cant be read. It has almost no power band at low speed, will not make it all the way on floating dock. Ski is coming up on its 1 year from puchase and we have never been able to enjoy or use. I need a resolution that works, continuing this way is not acceptable. I have a video; however, the size limits are preventing me from uploading. Please advise if there is another way to submit.

  The sea-doo that was purchased brand new still does not work appropriately, has never worked appropriately or even start in some cases and now has been severely damaged (plastic is sun beaten, rubber buttons have melted) by sitting out in the sun at the dealership for 8 months now.

  I am writing to file a complaint against Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP) regarding their Sea-Doo product. I purchased a Sea-Doo Switch in the Summer of 2022. After limited use, I encountered significant issues, including battery drain, iBR module errors, transducer malfunctioning, and recently, my engine blowing up in the middle of a lake.Upon contacting Sea-Doo customer service multiple times, I experienced long wait times, multiple transfers, and unfulfilled promises of follow-up. Despite taking the Sea-Doo to multiple authorized service centers on multiple dates, the issues persisted. My engine blew up on June 1st, and I am being told it cannot be sent to a BRP dealership for repairs until October, despite it being under warranty until January. This delay means I will miss the entire summer.Given the defective nature of the product and unsatisfactory customer service, I am seeking the following resolution:A full refund, or A replacement with a new, fully functional Sea-Doo, or Comprehensive repair at no additional cost, with assurances against recurring issues.I hope to resolve this matter promptly. Please contact me at ************ or ******************* to discuss this further.Thank you for your attention.Sincerely,*********************

  "We see here that you have a customer service case with one of our specialists. We will have them reach back out to you for further assistance. "
  
  No one has reached out to me regarding this recent complaint. My family's life was literally at risk due to their negligence. Even if we wanted to use the boat which we purchased (brand-new), we are not able to do so as it is once again at the dealership for repairs. They have done nothing close to compensating me for my experience - or even making things "right" - and have shown no desire to do so. The only response I've received is this stereotypical copy/paste note from them.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
  
  I am writing to formally address several ongoing issues regarding my Sea-Doo Switch and the handling of my case.
  

  ********** informed me of a "goodwill" gesture, which involved the purchase and installation of an external transducer, offered by the ****************************** However, this offer has since been reneged. Furthermore, ********** has not been answering or returning my phone calls, and she has refused to comment on any potential compensation until the most recent repairs are completed. Unfortunately, I have not been provided with a timeline for these most recent repairs.
  

  In the original case opened, it was determined by two Sea-Doo dealerships that the boat's hull is likely at fault and thus should be replaced (or the boat itself replaced). Despite this, BRP opted to ignore these findings and changed the diagnosis to state that my transducer is operating as it should, despite replacing multiple parts and sending me to two different dealerships for repair. This is contrary to my experience and the fact that I have found multiple other Switches equipped with the same transducer that can read at high speeds, as advertised on Sea-Doo's website.
  

  Given these circumstances, I urgently request the following:
  Immediate Clarification and Action on the "Goodwill" Gesture: Please confirm whether BRP intends to honor the promised purchase and installation of the external transducer.
  Direct Communication: I need a reliable point of contact who will respond to my calls and provide timely updates on the progress of the repairs and any related issues.
  Review of Initial Findings: A reconsideration of the original diagnosis by the two Sea-Doo dealerships that identified the hull as the likely fault, and a clear explanation of why these findings were dismissed.
  Compensation Details: Information on potential compensation for the significant inconvenience, threat to my family's safety (and lives) due to the safety recall that was not communicated, as well as unresolved issues, including a concrete timeline for repairs and resolution.

  
  I trust that BRP will handle this matter with the urgency and thoroughness it deserves. Your prompt response and action are crucial to resolving these issues satisfactorily. Please contact me directly at ************ to discuss the next steps or if further information is required.
  

  Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.

  I purchased 4 Seadoo Sparks and purchased 4 of these expensive Bluetooth radios. Less than a year 2 was replaced and the 3 speaker is out at the end of 1 year warranty! 2 days later I called after expiring and the waiting for dealer to open they are denying replacement when I called brp customer service the agent gave me a case number and told me even though it just expired they reopened case and I will be able to get a new speaker. I called dealer back and relayed information. I left my resort of 2 hrs drive came to pick up speaker and dealer said I was denied. Im so disappointed with this product. They are not worth $600-$800 and I got 4! This should be a recall because its no way I change 3 speakers at that price in a year! I would never recommend I feel like the took my money and thats not fair!

  I purchased a 2021 Sea-Doo FishPro from an individual that has the original OEM cooler and extension. The cooler design has 2 major flaws (1) that will not allow the top to close flush around the edges, allowing water to enter the cooler easily when under way and (2) allows for a child to become accidentally trapped inside due to the latch mechanism. Sea-Doo (BRP) has recalled these types of coolers and since changed the design on the newer models. However, since my ski is outside of the 1 year warranty period, I was told they would not replace mine. My only option was to purchase a new cooler and extenuation for +/- $1000!My problem with this is that as a company, Sea-Doo recognizes the cooler presents a major life safety risk, however they will only honor the replacement if the ski itself is less than a year old. I guess only those skis with warranties can have safe coolers...

  The local dealer is stating that BRP has refused to correct the issue due to the jetski being no longer under warranty. This is still not acceptable. This $1000 cooler is defective and does not seal properly, rendering it totally useless! Not to mention there is still the safety issue...

  I have purchased (2x) 2024 SeaDoo FishPro Trophy PWCs this year. First time taking them out one of the PWCs batteries failed causing the 50AMP fuse to the rear battery to blow. This left me stranded and I had to be towed to the dock. Upon doing some research on the matter there have been numerous instances of this happening with the Haijiu batteries that are shipping with these units. I have since replaced all (4x) batteries with a more a reliable brand as I did not want this to keep happening. Considering I have already paid nearly ********* for the PWCs, I do not think a customer should have to pay out even more money, out of pocket, to replace highly faulty batteries that could and did leave me stranded on the water. Please help me make this right. Thank you.

  Do not buy any 2021 seadoos! The are defected and Seadoo refuses to fix them or even give a justifiable offer! I had spent 40k and rode them for one season before a defect caused them to seize the motor. Seadoo then basically said oh well you can't prove it to be Seadoos fault when they have only been to a Seadoo dealer for service. The rxpx 300 are junk and Seadoo does not care about their customers.
