The product, in the report: Weber Spirit SP-320

I bought a Weber Spirit 320 gas grill around 2009. Almost immediately a green mold showed up on the stainless cooking grill and the flavor bars. It took Weber almost a year to replace them. THe mold immediately returned on the replacement parts.
Meanwhile the aluminum box warped out of shape, and the stainless steel inside the lid started crumbling to scale, often falling on the food being cooked.
The grease catcher tray on the bottom rusted off, so now it falls down into the grill base.
The bottom has rusted through, and the legs are rusted and failing.
We just rebuilt our deck, and are afraid to use this product on our new $25,000 deck.
I have a 30 and 40 year old Weber when they were still made in USA that are both in better and safer condition than this piece of junk.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(8/13/2021) Weber-Stephen Products LLC: The CPSC provided Weber-Stephen Products LLC (“Weber”) with the above-captioned Incident Report (“Report”) published on the Consumer Product Safety Information Database. While no response is required, Weber has reviewed the Report and would like to provide the CPSC with further information.
Please be advised that the subject grill was purchased over twelve (12) years ago. Weber’s records confirm that on April 11, 2011, no-charge replacement FLAVORIZER® bars and stainless-steel grates were provided under warranty. Weber has searched all customer databases and has not been able to locate any recent email, telephone or social media direct message from the consumer or from anyone on his behalf.in over (10) years.
As Weber’s headquarters are also located in Illinois, we are quite familiar with the extreme changes in temperature and humidity that occur throughout the calendar year. FLAVORIZER® bars often develop surface corrosion or rust due to their exposure to high heat and food drippings. This is normal, and it simply means that the bars are doing their job of protecting the burners. With regards to the consumer’s report of “green mold, there are several reasons which explain why this can impact the internal components of a grill, including but not limited to: 1) food/grease debris left on the grill which becomes compromised due to moisture and temperature changes; 2) salt residue which can cause damage to the surfaces and components of grills that are located in coastal regions; 3) damage from chlorine and other chemicals when grills are located near a swimming pool or spa; and 4) sulphur deposits from the propane mixture. Most, if not all, of these causes can be mitigated when the grill is properly maintained.
While we are truly sorry that the consumer did not have a positive experience with his barbecue. The reported corrosion issues result from scenarios which involve grill maintenance, moisture and (12) years of Illinois weather temperature fluctuations. Therefore, there are no defects with the SPIRIT® SP-320 gas grills which would create a substantial product hazard or creates and unreasonable risk of death or serious injury.

The product, in the report: Weber Genesis E-320

Failure of a Weber Genesis E-320 I am writing to notify you of a serious problem I experienced with my Weber Genesis E-320 on April 16, 2011. The lower left side of the grill melted! I don’t really know how to explain what happened, except to say that the aluminum casing has a very large hole in it, and that there are dried puddles of aluminum in the bottom of my grill. This causes me great concern as aluminum has a melting point of over 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. How can a grill get that hot? How can this be safe?
