Summary
On June 28, after going back and forth with the dealership, [Fred Lennarson] faxed a 20-page letter to Steven J. Landry, then chairman, president and chief executive officer of Daimler Chrysler Canada (DCC). The letter described the Lubicon situation in detail and asked that Landry intervene. A day later, a staff member at DCC's Windsor, Ont. corporate headquarters called to confirm receipt of the letter and to assure Lennarson that it was being looked into. Eventually DCC officials informed him that it was a contractual matter strictly between the dealer and the customer and that corporate headquarters would not be getting involved.
"I have investigated the matter," he wrote in an e-mail. "We have responded to Mr. Lennarson and advised that it is a matter between the customer and the dealership, but that we have contacted the dealership on behalf of Mr. Lennarson. Further concerns on this matter must be addressed to [the dealer]."[Jerry Flaman] set a deadline of Aug. 11 for the Lubicon advisor to retract his "defamatory" statements. Six weeks after the deadline, no lawsuit has been filed against Lennarson, but Flaman told Windspeaker that doesn't necessarily mean a statement of claim won't be forthcoming.See the full content of this document
