Dealership had my car for over two weeks now...took a week to get the parts in and who ever was assembling the motor put the intake cam in the exhaust side and vise versa so now they had to order new valves and blah blah blah i just want my ****** car back...this waiting game is killing me.

 

wow, that tech is retarded. hope you get your car back soon. is there a thread that you posted what happened originally to the engine?

 

not really..i posted in a thread but didn't make a thread about it but #1 crank bearing went out

 

What happened to your car in the first place?

 

 

eh, readings overated

If its not listed in the first post, I usually don't read it.

 

ouch!

 

Yup it happend about 1300 miles after my powertrain warranty was up too....but the dealership is still doing most of it under warranty. I'll end up paying a few hundred but atleast most of my motor will be rebuilt.

 

If he put the wrong cam in the wrong place he should be fired. It's kinda hard when the intake cam is longer than the exhaust? I don't how they did that

 

possible the 2.2/2.4's are different due to the vvt and what not. The rep on the phone who i've been talking to through all this said there where no markings whatso ever on the cams which i find it hard to believe but i've never look at the 2.4 cams outside of the motor so i don't really know. Guess it shows don't take **** outa the package till you know what goes where....i've learned that at work along time ago (amateur diesel mechanic).

 

lol u do know if its over 20days u have the lemon law on u. correct me if im wrong

 

what??? that tech is a retard.... they put someone with no knowledge whatsoever to work on your car.


i can understand completely why you are pissed. I would be

 

Well the valves were overnighted and are to be in this morning and it SUPPOSED to be done today so well see. This isn't the first time i've had to deal with the service dept....once was for tranny work that i had to fight tooth and nail for cause of my short shifter. Its my uncles dealership though and his helped us out on a lot of things including this....but honestly i'm glad this is the last of the warranty worth thats gonna be done on the car..

 

Got the car back, feels strong from what i can tell. I'll get a list of what all they replaced later...they said there was a lot of paper work on it for the way they are doing the warranty.

they will always say that to try and make you feel bad. and them trying to justify why they wouldnt do it under warrenty, like they did you a favor..


If they would have told me that I would have said,

"good, hopefully there is more next time, I LOVE killing trees and making your hand cramp up"

 

Considering it was out of the powertrain warranty with 61,500 miles they did do me a favor.

 

Heh, I know your pain. Mine was recently in for a new transmission, so when I dropped it off, they ripped everything out and then opened the box to discover it was full of electric motors and other doo dads for another car... So my car sat around for two weeks waiting for the actual transmission. Idiots down there I swear.

 

That tech=FAIL

 

And now its stuttering and heisitating when its cold and first started up and driven for the first 5 mintues so its goin back...also idles at 1100. Checked the vacum lines and everything seems connected. Might possible be a fuel problem but well see.

 

damn that sucks

 

man they just need to fire that tech or something

 

Find that tech after hours. Make sure to show up with a crow bar and tell him whats on your mind

 

I thought you were going to vent. Let's vent man

 

go beat the **** out of that tech

 

Car is still at the dealership....they are trying to figure out the studering and idle problem when cold. I don't mind i'm starting to like the new Malibu loaner they gave me.
