Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 2013 CAN AM SPYDER IN JULY 2013. FROM THE FIRST DAY I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I HAVE EXPERIENCED WHAT I CONSIDER A DANGEROUS AMOUNT OF HEAT RADIATING FROM THE ENGINE. ALSO, I CAN SMELL GAS FUMES AND I AM TOLD THAT IS BECAUSE THE GAS IS ACTUALLY BOILING DUE TO THE HEAT PROBLEM. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT FIXES RECOMMENDED BY OTHER OWNERS AND THEY DID REDUCE THE HEAT SOMEWHAT BUT IT STILL FEELS LIKE I AM RIDING ON A BOMB JUST WAITING TO EXPLODE. SINCE I PAID OVER $27,000 I CAN'T JUST PUT IT AWAY. THE REPUTATION IS SO BAD THE UNIT HAS REALLY DEPRECIATED AND THE ONLY PERSON WILL TO BUY THE VEHICLE WOULD BE SOMEONE WHO DID NOT DO THEIR HOMEWORK. ARE YOU AWARE OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS? I CAN'T GET ANYONE AT BRP TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE. IT IS NOT THE DEALERS FAULT. *TR
