2014 Spark drive shaft problems

[paddlerdad]

11 April 2014 unit purchase (Spark)

14 August 2014 (12 hours) unit fails requiring drive shaft #2.
8 October 2014 unit returned to me by dealer

18 June 2015 unit fails again (24 hours). Drive shaft replaced again (#3).
1 July 2015 unit returned to me by dealer

1 July 2015 drive shaft fails again (still at 24-25 hours). Service manager at dealership drives to my home and picks up unit 2 July 2015. Says drive shaft has failed again.

7 July 2015 I called BRP to request a new unit due to faulty construction/installation when purchased. Spark still in shop with malaligned drive shaft. BRP won't replace the Spark.

25 July 2015 Spark returned to me by dealer having installed drive shaft #4.
1 August 2015; drive shaft #4 fails.

5 August 2015. I attempt to get rid of the 2014 Spark (29 hours and 4 drive shafts later) by trading it in on a 2015 Sea Doo. Dealer says he can't take mine in on trade since he can't dump this machine on anyone else and BRP won't tell him what to do with it. Beyond frustrating.........

This is the first shaft failure I have heard of. I am sure you are more than frustrated. I would think that BRP would get involved to solve this. Best of luck to you...

Check with your attorney or the state attorney general office, if this was a car it would qualify for the lemon law, I'm thinking watercraft fall in the same category.

I was looking into that while I am flying to the west coast. Here is a great link for you. It does include PWCs, Boats and other registered items..
