New 2015 Viper problems already!

[ViperRob]

Took new Viper for a spin in the lawn. Shut it off all it wouldnt start. All it would do is click. This is what I found. Nut fell of starter on the positive side found the nut in the red cap also the cable clamp securing it wasn't bolted on either.2nd problem I found was three loose screws on gas tank. 3rd 4 bolts holding the front bumper on was loose. Not what I wanted in a new sled. Factory or dealer responsible?

Brand new 15, no miles?

 

[ViperRob]

Yep

 

[ViperRob]

Well 1 mile now.

I would think factory would be putting the starter and fuel pump in.

Really weird things to miss. Make sure you check everything. Really good.

Maybe as it sat at dealer it became a parts donor, then wasn't put back together prior to being sold. Back to dealer

Dealers responsibility to sell you a sled that is working. I would bring it back! (Unless it's a long drive?)

With the starter issues makes me wonder about a donor sled. If i call with the Vin # can they tell me what updates have been done?

Poor assembly line QC and crappy dealer PDI. I would start with the giving the dealer a few words.

This isn't a factory thing as they would have started it before it left the factory. I put this directly on the dealer. My guess is that the starter was pulled to replace a broken one. I have been wrong before, just ask my girlfriend.

Why the fuel pump bolts though?

They removed tank to get at starter bolts.

 

[Joe ltx-le]

I hear ya cannondale. i don't remove the tank that way. Your right though.
