IF it is buggy. try to show it in a law-suit. show evidence that this is
a bug.

What i am saying is that no customer has the right to force the producer
to do whatever he wants just because HE believes this or that.
you buy a product. you don't mary the producer. you can hit your wife.
but not chris, if you believe so : try it.

do you work in this field?
i do. and i can tell you in the companies i have worked before the customers get
the broken thing back and the producer tells them: it is repaired.
or they give the ONE customer the complained product of another customer.
nobody cares about customers. you live in a dream world. in the moment you
bought that car, it is 5000 DM worth less.
the customer is the idiot. he has to pay for anything.
he is the beta-tester. if the car kills him, not the companies problem.
in germany they do beta-tests with trains and the customers are the
cats and dogs they do the pet-testing with.
you live in a dream world. grow up.
