One summer ago, I bought a brand new Cub Cadet riding lawnmower, and foolishly purchased an extended warranty, which ended up with Asurion. I will not purchase an extended warranty again because it does not good. Not even a full year later, the Cub Cadet abruptly stopped working. I tried to get it to the only authorized repair shop (Complete Outdoor in Terre Haute). I have now been going back and forth with Asurion telling me they should be getting to the repair soon, and going around in circles with Complete Outdoor. It has been at least THREE MONTHS now, and STILL no repair! I then contacted Cub Cadet customer service, and they told me I could use "any reputable repair shop," but when I called another shop, they said "no." So now I am stuck with a useless "warranty," a lawnmower that will not run," and credit card bill through TSC. Not a good way to do business, guys, and I definitely won't be buying anymore lawnmowers here. Rest assured, I will be sharing my experience with anyone thinking of buying a new lawnmower. read more
