Hi .
We bought a New Keystone Cougar 326 5th wheel 30 days ago, and it's been in the shop most that time.
The heat doesn't blow adequately, the microwave doesn't work, the front jacks collapsed, cabinets and drawers open in transit, water pump runs continuously and doesn't pump water.
Keystone eventually offered a generous helping of talk. Nothing else, just words. Lot's and lot's of words.
Suggested dealer fixes were all rejected by Keystone.
Our dealer tried to talk us into accepting some of the problems, they too are a scary bunch of hustlers, but when we balked and talked lemon law, they backed up a bit after getting angry.
So it's becoming a very ugly situation.
Thank god for consumer protection laws.
We got in contact with a Lemon Law lawyer, and all our concerns are covered.
Our lawyer is contacting Keystone and our dealer who has threatened us.
She told us that typically it will cost keystone about $125.000 beyond the cost of the RV when it's settled.
Yep, Keystone is that heartless and stubborn.
We've contacted other Keystone victims that sued under the lemon law and won, and they told us the process will take about 9 months.
Keystone will attempt to bribe us out of the lawsuit.
What should have been a terrific experience for us, has become an ugly nightmare.
My only take on this is beware. Keystone does not stand behind their warranty at all, they offer no dealer support, nor customer assistance what-so-ever.
