Looks like it's overloaded again. I haven't been able to get in this morning. Anyone else?

looks like it has crashed. Went in to verify all our deals are submitted and can't get in. Maybe the goverment will give us a 3 day reprive to enter anything that is missing. Thisis totally unexcusable and the government can penalize dealers for not being able to access their antiquated system. They should just pay us and then do a sample audit. What dealer wants to risk a $15000 fine. I guess the govt feels all dealers are lowlife snakes.

I’m sure they will issue a statement soon that this is the dealer’s fault too.
Dealers just don’t understand how to login and keep trying incorrectly therefore bogging the system down. |

To better meet the high demand we're experiencing, we have temporarily shut down the service so we can expand our capacity to more quickly serve your requests. Please visit the site at a later time. We apologize for any inconvenience. |

They’ll probably get it back up about 8:01 PM when there will be no demand.

This was my post on 08/20/09:

Everyone knew the servers were going to crash today and no one was surprised that NHTSA took a stubborn stance refusing to allow dealers extra time to input claims. Hell, even Chrysler allows their dealers two days to enter NVDRs. Sadly, CARS in yet another example of governmental incompetence and arrogance. |

If this falls outside what is "politically correct" feel free to delete: It seems the governments arrogance has increased dramatically as of late. I got this in an email from a buddy. I'm posting it in this thread only because I fear that Cash for Clunkers is a small dose of what we may have coming down the road. Quote:

I imagine there will be a lot of sleepless nights for the employees of dealers who still have claims to enter. What a mess. |

let's hope we dont get stuck for any of these claims. Hopefully, there will be some sort of appeal process.
