People who have had negative sales experiences with Chad Franklin have been coalescing here at KCTalk.com and have generated a discussion of over 67,000 views.

Where:
The Villa

When:
Friday, May 23rd
7:30pm until 9:30pm

Background: The story originated from a simple post on KCTalk.com questioning the validity of the popular $49/month car advertisements. This gave way for a swarm of unhappy customers to come together and share their story of deceitful advertising mixed with broken promises and flat out lies. KCTalk has received over 2,000 posts concerning Chad Franklin Suzuki. The ads also have been the subject to three highly rated sweeps pieces by investigative reporter Jenn Strathman from NBC Action News' Call for Action department.
