Hello, I'm writing about the court decree on 7/16/13 signed my judge rosemary collyer. Zap is supposed to report to nhtsa regularly about the status of the refund and disposition of each recalled vehicle for three years. Somebody form zap world contacted me about a year ago. I still have the vehicle......How can you help. Ty.
This vehicle is already recalled, my vehicle suffered a complete loss or brake systems and fortunately was able to be steered to an uphill area before hitting a small retaining wall. Zap provided dot recall notice for brake failures to stop, and rules for recall. I have followed these rules which were drawn out from late 2012 until december 2013. In december 2013 zap informed me I would be paid for the vehicle and it would be picked up and removed in q1. The vehicle is still sitting at my home in ohio. No one from zap is responsive. What action should I be taking? *Js
As with others that have filed complaints, I was notified by zap that my vehicle was eligible for a recall due to incurable faults in the braking system. I filed all the necessary paperwork and received a letter that I qualified for the buy back program. They were supposed to pick up the vehicle and make payment by 12/31 then 1/31. I received the same curt and uninformative response that others received and nothing since. I contacted nhtsa, who directed me to file a complaint with the ftc. I filed a complaint...
with the ftc, who directed me to file a complaint with the bbb. I filed a complaint with the bbb. Zap did not respond to the complaint within the designated time frame, so they will receive a negative mark on their bbb rating. No other cure has been offered to me. What does it take to file a class action suit? Is that our only recourse? Please advise. *Tr
I agree with other people complaints. We were told that we were eligible for the recall, but have heard nothing too. Yet, I still have the truck that can't be driven and have to have it stored. Please help!!! This is not right. *Tr
Zap is under order to repurchase these vehicles for the paltry sum of $3100.00. This was to have been completed by 12/31/2013, extended to 1/31/2014. I have heard nothing official form the company, have not been contacted regarding payment and/or to arrange for pick up of said vehicle. The last communication of any kind I have had was from [email protected] on 2/27/2014, which said: "negotiations with nhtsa have ended. They are waiting for a response. Should know by next week. Will advise." *Tr
I was notified by my insurance company that this vehicle had been recalled for a brake issue. I was not notified by zap that this vehicle was not safe to drive. I did make a request to them via certified mail in 2013 but, have yet to receive anything from them. What is the status of this recall? What do I do with a vehicle that can not be insured and therefore not registered? Thank you for your assistance. *Tr
By the number of complaints owners filed with NHTSA: 2008 (44). Allowing for how long each has been on the road, the 2008 stands out most. Complaint counts also rise with sales, so compare years of the same model rather than different models.
Across every model year, owners report problems with the brakes (39), electrical system (2), body, doors & structure (2) most often.
NHTSA lists 4 recalls across all Zap Xebra model years. Each year's page lists the recalls for that year; check your own vehicle by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether the repair has been done.
