Dealership FAIL!!

Birdbrain · 04-21-2013, 10:14 PM

years ago I had a new 240Z. From the day i picked it up it had a clunk in the front end when I hit bumps. I took it into the dealer twice....nothing wrong. I finally took it to my brother who is a mechanic. He walked out to the car, poked his head under the front end...stood up and as he was walking away told me to tell the desler to take the packing blocks out of the front springs!? Most of them are idiots.

well, got done talking to the dealership. a few things going on here. 1. wheel bearing shot. 2. axle click 3. dealer tells me the axle click isnt covered under warranty, but will comp it. Im still not happy about how this was handled but its being handled. especially after I flipped when they said it wasnt covered. the axle click is considered an adjustment is what I was told. So for those of you out there that have this happen beware. If you make a big enough deal about it though they might cave like my dealer did.
