Dealerships can be the worst. Recently we took my wife's Nissan Maxima to the Firestone store to have a clicking noise investigated. They said the front bumper had been impacted and was loose. My wife insisted that she had hit nothing and nothing had hit her, but when the guy at the repair shop showed us it was obvious that he was right. My wife then admitted that she had scraped against something when she was parking and that's what it was. Mystery solved!<br /><br />We're just going to let the damage go since the bumper looks pretty secure to me and replacing the darn thing will probably cost several hundred dollars. Damn plastic cars!<br /><br />Arlee Bird<br />A to Z Challenge Co-host<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914364471950999973.post-72635319294756020692015-05-20T01:36:16.854-04:002015-05-20T01:36:16.854-04:00My blood was boiling when I read through this.

They're lucky you don't need my help...not yet. I'm on-call for ya. Alright?<br /><br />Sorry about all this aggravation.

I even clobbered a woman who cut out in front of me last September so I was without my vehicle for three weeks. Getting a state inspection (Pennsylvania requires yearly inspections) was ALWAYS an expensive adventure. The last straw came in February. It was snowing and I had it in 4 wheel drive. As I went to pull into a parking space, the truck locked up and would not move. Once I went back to 2 wheel drive, it moved. I decided then and there, "EFF THIS!" In less than a week, I had new car.Al Penwasserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052950809151897315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914364471950999973.post-84717500662869748662015-05-19T07:04:06.872-04:002015-05-19T07:04:06.872-04:00I woulda asked for a new truck.

Perhaps a letter to Chrysler might be in order. <br />We drive a Lexus and I have to say, their customer service is pretty outstanding. They provide loaners which they will deliver and pick up. lyndagracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530605081989558341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914364471950999973.post-54016745794010266372015-05-17T18:32:05.456-04:002015-05-17T18:32:05.456-04:00I would say "Wow, Dodge sucks" and "...I would say "Wow, Dodge sucks" and "I guess I'll never buy a Dodge" but this is pretty much any dealership. They care about you when you're buying the car, but after that they really aren't going to bend over backwards so much for that free work you need. Especially if they have to put in an entire new engine (ouch). I hope everything ends well for you. People call them 'stealership' for a reason.A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914364471950999973.post-15775379079954763542015-05-17T13:07:48.933-04:002015-05-17T13:07:48.933-04:00That sounds a lot like what happened to a jeep we ...That sounds a lot like what happened to a jeep we had. CV joint went out and the dealership had it 5 weeks. It was under a warranty- from buying an extended warranty from another company- and it was a nightmare trying to get them to just get the part and like pulling teeth to get them to pay for a rental.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051904118383493849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914364471950999973.post-66640803607942374012015-05-17T12:58:37.586-04:002015-05-17T12:58:37.586-04:00Oh wow!

Hubby had a truck about 30 years ago that had some problems with the shell leaking. Was back to the dealership a lot; I'm not sure it ever got entirely resolved, I think he just gave up and was careful what got stored in the back of the truck. However, in your case with an engine, one must be a bit more careful to get it working right. Its amazing they are putting in a new enginge. I do hope that takes care of the noise.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914364471950999973.post-90789749851848893712015-05-17T07:48:10.256-04:002015-05-17T07:48:10.256-04:00What horrible customer service!

Plus you need it for your work.<br />Hope it doesn't make that noise when you finally get your truck back.Alex J. Cavanaughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09770065693345181702noreply@blogger.com
