I bought an inadmissible vehicle on October 18 based on the advice of two different RIV agents.(I always phone at least twice) When I told an RIV agent last week that I had been told in early October it was OK she said there is no way an agent would have told me that and if I didn't have a file number tough. I said since you are calling me a liar I need your name and a file number. As of today my vehicle is still inadmissible and another call to TC remains unanswered. I did get an e mail from RIV confirming my vehicle is inadmisible and telling me all the files relating to vehicles purchased before Nov 01 are now inaccesible to RIV

Replying to: darfer (Nov 20, 2007 9:30 am) How reliable is the RIV statement that letters of recall for Honda are not needed because Honda is "not cooperating". Do you have it in writing. If that is RIV's corporate position, then why can't that reasoning/principle be extended to other areas where the manufacturer is "not cooperating" - i.e. the CMVSS 114 thing. It sounds great but if it came verbally from RIV, I'd be weary of relying on it.

Replying to: mccreeper (Nov 20, 2007 10:27 am) We are concerned citizens because: - a lawful process established by our country is being manipulated and hijacked such that the lawful process which is our right, is being voided We are concerned citizens because: - we are not standing by and letting the manufacturers roll over us (likely with the vehicles we bought but can't register!) We are concerned citizens because: - we are using all lawful means at our disposal to correct the travesty that is taking place by trying to persuade our elected officials to ensure Canadian rules, regulations and policies are instituted, implemented and enforced for the benefit of Canadians, not corporations engaged in a fleecing exercise We are concerned citizens because: - enough is enough Does anyone really think the sudden parity pricing initiatives we now see in Canada would have occurred, had it not been for the importers |

It's been a very productive day. We thank you for all the e-mails and it is producing results. You all saw the piece in the Globe & Mail today, interviews with several of our team. We are also had several CBC Radio TV interviews todathis across the country. Great job - media team. Here is another solid advancement - thanks to lighting speed efforts from George Favvas and Callum Macdonald from Reflexity, we have a brand new secure web site made for you. There is still work to do on the site, but we will be asking you to go and log your story with data, name, car model, dates etc. We want to gather data that we will use with the media, RIV, governments. 1st goal - get plates for everybody who is in Canada and victim of RIV flipflops. 2nd goal - solve immobiliser issue for all and then ....we'll see. maybe princing? P.S. First story on the CBC the National tonight great job Bon Lamb and the team. Keep up the pressure - write MP.s - Minister Cannon, check the new web site.

Replying to: sergelbergeron (Nov 20, 2007 7:09 pm) The CBC report was excellent in making it clear that RIV kept changing their lists and also got Minister Cannon to make a statement |
