Dell Inspiron 5150 Lemons
This petition is for the thousands who have had their Inspiron 5150 laptop die only to be told by Dell that they will repair it for a hefty price.
Dell has sold their Inspiron 5150 laptops for a few years now, but there is one problem. The laptops only work for about a year until the warranty runs out. There is an amazingly widespread problem with these laptops. Dell has been contacted numerous times. but they refuse to do anything about it. The fact is they are selling laptops that DON'T WORK. They even removed their tech support page for the Inspiron 5150 becasue they had over 60 pages of complaints. Here are some sites to help you understand just how bad this is.

Please help the thousands who spend about two grand on a product that is faulty and has an inferior design. I found all these sites in about 20 minutes of searching for support with my problem. There are probably many many more sites like these that I cannot find just through a search engine.
