    Looking for some advice please. My elderly step dad was sold a car from a main dealership last year. It had lots of things on the car including keyless entry. A year on and the battery needing replacing in the fob and my stepdad has recently had a pacemaker fitted. When looking in the manual about replacing the battery, it states in bold letters that keyless cars can affect a pacemaker! This information was neither given by the dealership nor were they even aware of this when asked! Can we get the dealership to replace the car as this was a misleading sale as vitasl information was not given.

    Amazing. Just amazing.

    Were you not told what can affect a pacemaker by the doctors or hospital ?

    Can't see how you would have a claim against the dealership as the pacemaker wasn't fitted when the car was bought.

    Pacemaker driver needs some sort of work around or find out more regarding keyless ignition jumpstarting his pacemaker .


    DVLA will require reporting of fitting pacemaker and also check car insurance .

    I bet nobody warned him that if he has a leg amputated he wouldn't be able to reach the peddles either did they?

    I was on a flight a few weeks ago. Damn salesperson never informed me you couldn't open the window.


    Swines. This kind of miss selling needs stamping on.
