WTF, My Rhino Ramp Shattered Into Pieces

[Joann]

that's insane. i vote lawsuit. It scares me thinking about stuff like that...people standing under lifts, and stuff.

[2TurboImports]

Damn, I'm definitely not one to skip to a lawsuit, all I want is the money for damages to my car, but if nothing else they do NEED to attend to this issue. I'm going to head to that Advance and see if I can't buy back the ramps for evidence and/or at least for the lot number that these came from. If anything they need to look into a recall somewhere in their product line. I'd hate to think someone may be hurt or even worse, killed, b/c of a shitty product and I only tried to get money back to fix my car.

I'll update this thread if/when I can get ahold of Blitz to see what they have to say about this.

[Steve B]

your supporting your car with a piece of plastic and are surprised it broke???

[BigBadBuick]

lawsssuittt!!! be like i was about to get under it..and it shattered..

Please I stopped at the light and the person behind me almost hit me, now my neck almost hurts........

Tell us what advance this is so that we can call them and tell them that we will go elsewhere for parts and supplies if they do not fix this situation for you. I want to at least let them know that I will think twice about purchasing stuff from them, because they are unable to provide me with safe ways to work on my car. They should have never sold these in the first place.

oh yeah, dont forget to talk to a lawyer. You should fight for some money and to have these kinds of ramps banned. Someone could die if this problem is not handled properly.

Considering how many people posted in this very thread that they've had no problems, I don't see an issue with Advance for selling shitty products. Are they the only place selling them?

are those plastic? that alone is scary enough for me not to use them!

THANK YOU!! /thread

You took them back? /thread again

[2TurboImports]

took them back, but now they're mine again. Still waiting from Blitz, apparently they're closed on the weekends...

you have a 1 ton car on plastic, use your head and fork out some cash for metal ramps.

... And this is why jackstands aren't made out of PLASTIC!

[2TurboImports]

OK, well, I put my 1 ton car on plastic that says it's rated for 8000 lbs GVW. It's not a fucking publix bag!!! If a company sells a product and claims it does something, plastic or not it should work! Metal or Plastic I'm sure both have failed at one point.

[CrypticApathy]

man...metal ramps are great..the only thing i dont like is that fact that it slips..so it need to have a rubber mat underneath it..

oh..my first pair of metal ramps bent...cheap shit..but it worked
and my 2nd pair...i got..has reinforced supports..guess how much i payed for those? 2 fucking dollars at a garage sale...effin awesome

idk if retailers sell metal ramps anymore...just go to the flea market or a garage sale..


plastic ramps = fail

would you put your car on plastic jack stands?

[alri0085]

I just threw my rhino set in the garbage, for real.

Good thing you don't have to do that when you want to replace the exhaust gaskets.
