Pfft, that old chestnut, wear em out, if they don't give up then minimise the company costs... sickening.

More sickening that it took a major company/builder to resort to a 3rd party to make a diagnosis on one of their own products that any skilled mechanic would most likely have made in a single day. Sorry to hear you got crapped on Mem'.

My advice...Buy a Japanese car...or maybe a Ferrari. ;)

Mems, not to keep off the topic but that's rough, having to take what you could because they were completely dishonest about it all! Don't blame you at all for not wanting to buy from them again! I certainly wouldn't!


Charlie, I totally agree with your assesment- seems like they did just string him along, hoping he'd give up. Also sounds like the problem should have been found and fixed ages before the outside mechanic looked at it.

That's crapola big time dude! However and unfortunately, you are not alone in this kind of manufacturer / customer relationship. I know of a dude that has his oil changed regularly at the local 'Pennzoil Quick Lube', book stamped etc.. The motor locked up on him, and the first (Very First) thing Ford did was look at his maintenance records. He did not have any on file from Ford, therefore it was his fault, improperly maintained etc.. Needless to say, 9 months later, and however many engines that in fact locked up from an improper oil pump from the Ford truck plant, recessed with Ford providing an engine, and him paying the labor. It's a sad time indeed.

I would have to say either Manchester United or the Chicago Bulls (c'mon guys - is their ANYONE who hasn't heard of Michael Jordan). In fact, I might give them the edge.

And for what it's worth a LOT of Americans have heard of Man U. [img]smile.gif[/img]

New York :confused:
