So yea my tranny was replaced last week as most of you know under warranty

today the BOLT to the lower control arm fell out somewhere during driving and pinned the arm in between the ball joint and the lower control arm.

Had to get it flat bed

They better do **** right this time

New Parts:
Axel
Control Arm
Ball Joint

I have no ******* luck lol

 

Wow that sucks man.. hopefully they can do it right this time..

 

still........you got a free tranny, so not to bad.

 

Yes, I know.
Should be done tomorrow, parts were ordered for overnight.

 

3 days and 200 miles after the dealer replaced my seized turbo............my engine blew

i feel your pain man

 

replaced for free?

 

yep....another new turbo and new longblock

 

did you have all of those parts in it too?

 

demod for the dealer. the parts didn't cause the issue. the turbo went cause it was surging for 20k and 2 dealers wouldn't fix it. the engine went...imo cause there was metal in the engine from the turbo and they didn't repair it correctly

 

How do you know when its surging

 

makes a horrid sound...

and for ***** and giggles.....

That Chimpmunk one got me lmfao ok its like a turbo flutter

 

yeah i heard that and started laughin my ass off....but yeah flutter dump is what it was doing. 20000 plus miles of that and guess what happens to the bearings

 

You freaking lucky, man. I had a brand new trans put in. 1500miles on it and I blew the clutch. Took it in to the dealer to make sure it was the clutch and not the ToB. They pulled it all apart verified it was the clutch. Told em id do the work cause they wanted 2k to do it. They put it back together and I drove it home 8 miles. Got all the parts in pulled he drain plug so I could yank the axels. NO fluid came out. My 4th and 5th gears are now toast. Still fighting those asshats.

 

when i took my axels out i didnt have to drain anything?

ALSO

i got the car back today, i signed a paper when it went in, but when I picked it up I didn't have to sign anything. Are they trying to cover their backs cause they fucked up the first time?

 

probably in a way yes. usually you have to sign to authorize a work order but since you authorized it the first time already they already have permission to fix those specific problems it has. i'd call and ask to see if they have it on record for future reference.

 

If they don't it would be a bigger problem on their end
