I just bought a car and at the VERY last moment they brought up forced arbitration...

Did you balk at it? In my experience car dealers tend to both appeal to authority as a first line of defense ("It's out of my control. That fee is mandatory."), yet also will do anything they can to close a deal. I'd be curious if walking out would get it removed.

Which brand? I will be in the market for a new car soon, and avoiding that brand will speed the decision-making process.

Of all the competitive parameters this is one you think it's worth considering?

Voting with your wallet works if a majority of people understand the issue and vote the same way. Here you're just creating problems for yourself.

Not that the enthusiasm isn't good :)

No, but it’s one parameter worth considering. I never stated that it was the only deciding factor.

Life is not binary.

A forced arbitration clause was included by my realtor in all the paperwork I filled out when buying a house last year. I didn't sign that page and nobody brought it up again.
