Letters to Daimler Chrysler
 

I think Nathans forum category on www.7slotgrille.com that allows you to
write an open letter to DC is a great idea. I'd like to encourage people
here to make their thoughts known to DC in a civilized manner. Maybe
somday they will take notice. Good or bad, right or wrong, make your
opinion known. This doesn't have to be anything to do with Nathans lawsuit;
if you hate IFS make your feelings known, if you hate the wattering down of
the Jeep name... write about that!


To: Daimler Chrysler

To whom it may concern,

As an owner of two Jeeps, I am sickened by your treatment of Nathan Collier.
I understood why you took your first legal action against him, and although
I didn't think legal action was warranted I never the less understood your
reasons. This lawsuit however seems to be a mean-spirited harassment of one
of your most vocal supporters. I personally couldn't believe that Nathan
started a website that supported Jeep/off-roading after the first lawsuit.
He didn't seem to hold any grudges and continued his support. He even
purchased a 2003 Rubicon edition Wrangler AFTER you sued him. I never would
have supported a company that tried to destroy me.

As I said I currently own two Jeeps: a 1981 CJ-7, and a 2000 Cherokee
(bought new). I purchased my Cherokee as a daily driver to use for work
mostly but also camping and sight seeing. Although there were many non-jeep
choices when I purchased it, I chose Jeep because the Jeep brand has always
held a special place in my heart. I can no longer make such a statement. I
cannot say anything negative about the Cherokee I purchased, many other
people have reported problems but mine has run PERFECT since the day I drove
it home from the dealer (67,000 miles ago). Be that as it may, I will never
again purchase a new Daimler Chrysler vehicle. My fiancé and I are getting
ready to replace her vehicle and I will make sure that a Jeep is not an
option. Also when I do get ready to sell my Cherokee, or trade it in, I will
not be buying the Grand Cherokee I've always wanted. I will find something
else instead; I cannot in good conscience support your company. You have
lost me as a customer and I find it hard to believe that there is any way
you could win me back. I will continue to enjoy my 81 CJ-7, only because it
has nothing to do with your company.

P.S.- My family owns a grand total of 14 Jeeps. You can see them at
http://www.geocities.com/co_big_cheese/ although our newest purchase (a 49
Willys roadster) hasn't been added to the site. I LOVED JEEP and anything to
do with it. If you can lose me as a supporter you have to worry that you are
doing something DRASTICALLY wrong.

Sincerely,
Kevin Sperle
Former Jeep enthusiast

That should have read:

"This new threat of a lawsuit however seems to be a mean-spirited
harassment of one of your most vocal supporters."

I pasted it in this message before I edited my original. As far as I know
all Nathan got so far was a cease and desist order threatening another
lawsuit.
