    Question:
    Any recalls for the WE261 Riding Lawn Mower?
    Details:

    I have a WE261 riding lawn mower that I purchsed from Wal Mart in October 2011 when they were closing out the Lawn and Garden equiptment.  This was a floor model, but I still payed over $900.00 for it.  I have had nothing but problems with this lawn mower, and I have only used it ONE season!  This turned out to be a piece of junk that wasn't worth bringing home.  I was very very caution in buying the "Weed Eater" brand as they tend to be known for the poor quality, but I took a gamble.

    I have been trying to contact support, and being transfered every which way, and no resolutions.  I am unable to locate my receipt for the mower, so I am getting no where with the warranty -- I guess Wal-Mart had this rider sitting around for a while so it ate into my warrenty period per the serial number.  

    So -- getting ready to start season two of this after putting some money into it last year (all new tires and tubes), new spark plug, oil change, fuel stabilizer, and the whole 9 yards for the tune up.  Got it started, put it into gear and now it vibrates and doesn't have much power.   In looking at the internet for this, its a $300.00 + job to have done and it is common in all these with the transmission.  If there is not a recall for this yet, I hope that one does come because this is a total waste of money,  and these things are a big rip off!!  

    Way to go Weed Eater -- living up to your name as selling junk, but at a higher price!
