sorry time to vent

sonic370 · 08-01-2011, 08:37 PM

needed a shoulder to lean on and time to vent. body shop promised my car in two days and its been five. rear bumper has been painted and repaired and looks
great. waiting on the rear hatch release switch. hope yours never breaks.

because according to them you have to remove both taillights to be able to
remove rear bumper to get to the switch. sounds fishy to me. but not much i can do but wait. i wish the 370 was like the 350 where you could open the
hatch with the key fob......................

So sorry to hear about this dude. I'm sure everything will end up being ok

My rear hatch gets stuck sometimes, I found that if I press the release button twice it opens up normally where as it doesn't if I only press it once.

Dont stress too much about it man. I just got my car back from the bodyshop after three weeks of not having it. They promised me it would be done in a week since it was just a headlight, bumper and hood fix. I felt like you feel for two weeks. When I got the car back, it hit me... All that stress for nothing. Take time to think about other things and it will go by fast! Good luck!

Man those last few days at the body shop, especially if it's been a while and they are late, are killers no matter what vehicle. Hang in there. It will get better.

Be glad your car is not throwing random hesitation!

I have never had a problem with my hatch luckly. When I go to pop it open I always hold the button untill it opens all the way.
