In breaking news: the ACCC just woke up. Amazing. Plus, they\\u2019ve invited Mazda to a public ankle-grabbing contest. Act now, because front row seats to this one are certain to sell out fast.

The ACCC has decided to sue Mazda Australia Dickheads Proprietry Limited for alleged breaches of consumer law and behaving like unprincipled cocks generally in relation to customer support.

Apparently the ACCC has assembled a conga line of disgruntled customers - I think they call them \\u2018witnesses\\u2019 now - stretching over the horizon, back to 2013, and the watchdog says Mazda Dickheads could not fix the problems, fobbed them off to case managers who were completely ineffective, lied about the severity of faults, and told the affected owners they were not entitled to refunds - which is such bullshit, but pretty typical for the Shitsvillian car industry.

\\u201cWe allege that Mazda repeatedly refused to provide a refund or a replacement at no cost to the consumers and pressured them to accept lesser offers which were made by Mazda only after multiple failures of the vehicles and repeated attempted repairs.\\u201d - Rod Sims

This is the one that does my head in: The ACCC says in cases of protracted problems, instead of offering a refund or a free replacement vehicle, which is what the law demands, Mazda customers were offered less money than their cars were actually worth as a buyback - and then, Mazda arseholes put owners under extreme pressure to accept their bullshit offers, by claiming the offers were short-term and final.

The mafia does business this way.
