You are being taken for a ride my friend, sorry to say. Polaris makes thousands of machines every year, they are the number one selling machine in the offroad market. They are also number one in another category, that is consumer complaints per 100 machines manufactured. Yes the big guy Polaris has the most problems of any manufacturer out there with the exception of the cheap Chinese machines. Three years back I wanted a new UTV and looked and searched for almost 4 months, drove hundreds of miles and weeks and weeks of reaserch. I am retired so I had plenty of time to sit on the computer day in and day out and come to find lots of interesting information. I choose a Kymco 450i UXV, first reason it is a smaller machine, second the reliability of the engine. Had more features than other brands and the dealer had an actual test track with hill climbs, mud, etc. I was told to run it thru its paces, and I did. These machines are built in Taiwan ...not china..they have been in business for 30 years and a major supplier for major brands like Artic cat, Suzuki, Yamaha and even Honda for many years. Here is the best part..... they have the lowest consumer complaint rating per 100 machines manufactured of any major offroad manufacturer in this country!! Mine is 3yrs old has more than 900 miles and has O issues, one recall for a seal on the throttle cable which the dealer took care of and gave my machine a thorough inspection of everything while it was there, all at no charge. Never been back since...no issues. Polaris has name recognition in the market and they make lots of machines but they do require lots of expensive maintenance. I would definetly start bombing Polaris with negative advertising and post everywhere you can and the dealer also, let others see how you have been treated.
