I used to always buy Husqvarna lawnmowers, but I can no longer continue to do so. My 5-year old Husqvarna lawnmower requires a $20 part (the front baffle). It's a simple but essential part: it keeps rocks and other items from flying out of the lawnmower.
I have contacted Husqvarna no less than 6 times, and each time they say the same thing: I should not operate the lawnmower without the part, they no longer sell the replacement part, and hence I should not longer use the lawnmower. I have, of course, searched online for the part--but it's not available because Husqvarna evidently wants to lawnmower to become obsolete so that I have to buy a new one.
I keep asking them, Can you suggest an alternative part? But their response is the same: I need to buy their part, and it is no longer…
