My RTC 1100C has been slow since purchased brand spanking new. When purchased, the dealer installed a factory 2" lift kit and 31 inch tires.
On flat ground, it would struggle to hit 20 MPH. Going up the long slows sloping driveway, it slowed down to 13-14 mph.
Took it back, they said nothing could be done.
Took it back again-nothing could be done. Decided to just live with it.
Got a recall the other day and took it in for that and asked them to check it for speed while they have it.
First service guy told me that the tires were too heavy and it would not be able to go any faster. I asked him if he thought I was an idiot? 200 lbs of tires prevents an motor vehicle from going full speed? Then he told me that the specs on my machine show 18 MPH top speed. Once again I had to show him the brochure clearly stating 25 MPH. Then he said I could not run the AC while going up the hill as it drags down the engine too much. Really??? I asked him if he purchased a brand new f350 and put one ton of feed in the back, would you need to turn off the AC to drive or expect it to only go 40 MPH?
Got another service writer and he had the service guys reset the pressures but they went from 3600 to 1800, stating that the higher pressure would equate to more power with lower pressure equating to higher speeds. Guess what-they billed me $650 for trying to correct their previous failures. They charged me $650 and it still goes 12-13 mph up that same damn hill.
I am fit to be tied right now and don't know what to do. I really like my unit but I feel I only got 80% of what I paid for.
Any ideas?
