How does taking the X-fire in for the wind noise TSB and a popping sound from a trim peice lead to the collision center you ask? Well, me too!

So I take the car in for the wind noise and I think a trim peice in the cargo area is loose and popping. After having the car for three days I decide I need to make an appearence at the service center.

I arrive but my advisor is gone. After asking around I discover my car is at the collision center!

Wiggin' out I head over to the body shop. And ask to see my car only to be told it's "probably already in the paint booth." WHAT?!

We find it to discover my X-fire in peices! All the cargo trim panels are gone. The fuel door is gone. I could see thru the fuel door opening straight thru to the other side of the cargo area. The car is taped up being prepped for paint. WTF?! What is going on?

The body guy tells me that the popping/creaking is from where three peices of the body shell needed additional "crimping" because the join is weak. The paint is for the door jam around the strike plate where they had to do some work.

I still don't have the car back AND have NOT been called by my service advisor. She called the first two days saying that they were still looking for the problem, but she never told me about taking it to the bodyshop (this was Friday) and she STILL hasn't called me.

I don't know if I should be pissed that all this was done without notification or pleased that atleast they are going to extremes to fix the problem.

All I know is that I'm about to loose my mind with all the hassels in my life right now and seeing the car torn apart ...well....I almost lost my ****.

Mama needs her medicine.
