My car is stuck at the dealership waiting for a part since November. I’m now sitting in their waiting room waiting for them to service their own car that they are lending me.
Name and shame the brand!
Dodge. Rather than doing a recall on the part they extended the warranty to 10 years. And now the part is not available until Feb 19, but the Clerck telling me it’s probably going to be pushed back. So now I’m driving the dealers beater. Headrest airbag like feature is considered a safety equipment and can’t be replaced by used. I first had a rental but they called me last week Saying it was too expensive and they would lend me a minivan like mine.
You can check lemon laws in your state.
In mine, it was out of service long enough in December that it would qualify (assuming you bought new based on what you’ve said).
Buddy took his Camry to Toyota to have the cruise sensor checked… The one that detects slower vehicles in front of you.
Anyway… Toyota said it was busted and that they would order a new one. Turns out the sensor for this car is located in the Toyota emblem on the front of the car… becothe dealer took it off… the car wouldn’t run… so they gave him a “rental” from their on lot stock.
9months later. They finally got one in, another month went by and he got his car back.
Toyota ended up having to replace his tires due to sitting for so long at the back of their lot.
Crazy stuff.
Yeah I am also concerned by my car sitting there so long, in the snow and all. Brakes are rusting and the battery dying. I asked them to take care of it but I don’t have much hope.
