Thinking of filing a claim under PCNA arbitration rules? Don’t Unless u r retired.

[Scotty]

As many of you know I filed a CAP-Motors arbitration claim against PCNA re the Mobile Charger. The good news I prevailed. Now a word of caution to those thinking of doing the same. I seriously underestimated the amount of time to pursue this issue. It is not a simple process and hiring an attorney makes no sense unless you are claiming the car is a lemon and want to return it. CAP requires a lot of pre hearing forms to be completed. Then you have to prepare a brief with exhibits to prove your assertions. Then you have to prepare for the hearing itself, which means you have to prepare opening presentation, questions for cross examining witness, and finally a closing statement. Then the arbitrator will ask for closing briefs to be submitted before he renders his decision.
EXpect PCNA to hire a very experienced attorney to challenge your claims. They will object to almost every motion for discovery you need to prove your claims. They will also assert that Lemon laws do not cover issues not directly related to the car itself ( mobile charger considered accessory)
Good news if you have the time to counter their objections you will get some of your discovery approved by the arbitrator.. I figure it took me over 3 weeks and 60 hours to do this. Bottom line unless you are retired and have lots of free time don’t even consider doing this. As my wife said the only good thing out of this other than prevailing is it proves i don’t have dementia (yet).

If only someone had warned that this was more time than it was worth…

You did warn me lol. However, my efforts may result in all mobile charger owners getting compensation from PCNA per their letter to me. I think 30% of any $ you receive would be fair. I take venmo or zelle

Now that you are a pro, you could become a consultant (for a small fee).

Love to but my wife would divorce me and after 50 years of marriage I don’t think I do well on the dating scene.

So what did you get out of the win?

Why not wait for Porsches permanent fix for the issues

I wonder if getting an arbitration settlement would be of interest to https://www.nhtsa.gov/report-a-safety-problem#index which controls U.S. recall orders.

So just to clarify - this arbitration opinion only applies to you was an individual complainant or is this elevated to a class action (assume not)? Seems crazy if a court rules Porsche to be 'at fault' for the EVSE cock-up that it would not set a precedent that would immediately hold Porsche responsible to all effected customers - but thats me in my ignorance and/or wishful thinking !

EDIT - just now saw your other posting which seems to address this ..... still reading!

Yes, although they said the cap and key chain were one of a kind. Arbitration is private and since PCNA settled before the hearing I agreed to keep it confidential. All i can say is i am pleased with the resolution.
I do know PCNA is considering some sort of compensation to all mobile charger owners and will notify owners if they decide on what to offer. That I have in writing btw.

Yes, I get a unique Porsche key chain and hat each time I so much as fart in a dealership. I feel like Joey from friends.
