Exclamation Man Who Publicly Destroyed his Jeep,,Jeep wants an apology!!!

"A Queensland man has given a sweet, back-handed apology to carmaker Jeep after he called his a car "a lemon" and destroyed it with much fanfare.

Ashton Wood bought a new Jeep in 2010 that he said had 21 faults and had to be towed four times before it had even clocked 50,000 km.

The Sunshine Coast man tried to sort things out with the carmaker through the Office of Fair Trading before it ended up in the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal, but Jeep defended the case.
Fed up and going nowhere with Jeep, Mr Wood decided to run a crowd-funding campaign to raise money to help him destroy the car and recoup some costs.

But Jeep had made a counter claim against Mr Wood in the case, demanding he apologise for bad mouthing the company.

"The funny part of this was in the court documents, Jeep told me I had to apologise for them for the things I said about the company and their vehicle," Mr Wood told the Courier-Mail.

April 11, 2015: A Sunshine Coast couple started a Kickstarter campaign to destroy their Jeep riddled with defaults.

"They wanted an apology in The Australian Financial Review!"

"I ended up getting in touch with The Checkout and they did up this fantastic public apology."

The mea culpa delivered through social media simply highlighted all the problems with the car and ended with the blow: "But most of all I'm sorry 'I bought a Jeep.'"

"I have not heard a word from them at all – not a word," Mr Wood said, who now drives a RAV4."
