so i let my mom borrow my car big mistake so she goes to back up and she doesnt know about the reverse lock. so she grabs the WHOLE boot and lifts up and breaks it. so i dropped my car off at the dealership today and they told me that in order to replace the boot they are going to have to replace the WHOLE shifter. does that make any sense to you? i dropped it off at 8 am and now its 3 pm and still no call

 

Thats dumb as hell......... Dealers suck. Are they going to cover it under your warranty?

 

yeah, and they told me my resenator was broken so there doing that also

 

lesson to be learned... don't let mom drive the SS...

 

hahaha,,,, thats why I never let anyone drive my car...
I know one of the srt4 guys around here went to drive my friends ss and couldn't figure out the revers lock so he pushed the car back out of the spot... after witnessing that,,, no one.. but me has the keys

 

Ha ha. My Mom had to show the salesman how to use the reverse lockout since she had one in one of her old cars.

 

i took mine to the dealer one time and had to show the tech how to put it in reverse

 

im pissed off at the dealership i read the HOW TOO take apart the shifter knob on this site. while i was waiting for them to finish with it. well i get a call at 5 pm after dropping the car off at 8 am. and they tell me that my car is ready to be picked up. i go there and they tell me that they couldnt figure out how to get the shifter out and the exhaust has to be taken to a muffler shop. so they washed my car for some amends. when i got in my car i popped the grey number plastic peice off to take a look. the mechs at the dealership took a drill to it, they diddnt even TRY to loosen that lil bolt. i'll post pics tomorrow. stupid S.O.B.'s

 

So what do you mean they couldnt get it off. Did they just give up and give you your car back? Dealers are so dumb sometimes.

 

Do they NOT have a copy of the MANUAL ???

 

no idea all they did was pop that cap off and start drilling, yeah i got my car back with a free wash. the worst part is it rained last night so there goes that

 

meh, bad experience. i was at the dealership yesterday and they decided to give me 3 new rims...that was cool.

 

Could not agree more. My dad is alot smarter then that, anyways. He needed to barrow my SS. I trust him 100% because he helps me with alot of differant things. When I need someone to watch my lil girl my parents are there. Anything I need, there loving parents. The point is, my dad was stuck in a parkling lot for an hour trying to get ahold of me to figure out why he couldnt get it in Rev. He wouldnt force anything and just waited for my call. Sure enough when I told him, he was like WTF lol. Said he should of known, his old car was like that.

Edit Post: Was not an hour, more like 20mins.

 

you just gotta love them stealerships

 

all of these bad dealership post's scare me, my car goes in monday for some warranty work. now i'm a little nervous to take it in.

 

well my camera sucks so the pics are gonna have to wait

 

yeah ive been in the same boat. I let my ex girlfriend now take my car to pick up some food. So fifteen minutes later she came back with some good jack in the box and with a scraped rim because she cant drive worth a damn...

 

damn that sucks

 

like i said...i scraped my rim GOOD...but the dealership here is replacing the rim for me for free, along with 2 others. one of the rims doesnt have any flaking so...they arent ALL bad, dudes.

 

That sucks man. I'm really pissed at my dealership too. I bought my Cobalt last Sunday and noticed my clutch was slipping. Took it in on Tuesday morning for them to replace and its still there a week later saying that the clutch is on order. Seriously how hard is it to call GM and have them send a clutch overnight, I know GM must have some clutches since they are still producing Cobalts there every day.
