A Jacksonville, Fla., couple has filed a lawsuit against an Orange Park RV dealership, claiming it sold them a lemon, but the dealership said the RV was sold as is, without a warranty.
This story by Scott Johnson and Roxy Tyler originally appeared on News 4 JAX.
Patsy and Leon Carrigg said they bought their used RV at General RV on Wells Road in Orange Park in 2016 and were planning on spending their retirement years traveling.
“He’s 79; I’m 74. We don’t know how many more good years we got,” she said.
So far, the couple has only put around 600 miles on the RV because they said the problems with the RV started soon after they bought it.
They said they have tried to work with the dealership with little success and feel that General RV is trying to let the 36-month warranty expire by doing a shoddy job of repairs. The couple went online and found a number of negative reviews, so they decided to hire a lawyer and just filed a lawsuit.
The lawsuit seeks damages of at least $75,000. The Carriggs said the initial cost of the RV was roughly $86,000, and they’ve paid more than $40,000 so far.
