These clauses are showing up in more and more purchase contracts.

If they would build a reliable product, they would not need a clause in contract. GIT R DONE auto makers; it would be about time.

Debbyski is right, the thing to do is walk; after letting the dealer or retailer know, in no uncertain terms,
exactly what you think about this practice.

Lost sale = lost revenue

The 1993 Honda Accord has more than 145,000 miles on it, but it's paid for and still runs pretty well despite the rust. But this year my husband and I decided the time had come for an upgrade—not a new car, of course, but newer than the one we're currently driving.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.motherjones.com/washington_dispatch/2007/11/binding-mandatory-arbitration.html?src=email&link=hed_20071128_ts3_Suckers%20Wanted">Everything seemed to be above board until we got to the end of the buyer's order and discovered that if we signed the contract, we would waive our rights to sue the dealership in court, before a jury, should any dispute arise after the sale. Instead, as a condition of buying the car, we had to agree to submit to mandatory pre-dispute binding arbitration, handled by the dealership's pre-selected company, the National Arbitration Forum (NAF).</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.motherjones.com/washington_dispatch/2007/11/binding-mandatory-arbitration.html?src=email&link=hed_20071128_ts3_Suckers%20Wanted"><P>So we walked.
