so as some know i have the wonderful luck of #1 having a crappy service department at my dealership, although they try their best, but it ussauly takes an excessive amount of time. and #2 probably have more problems with my car than any other base coupe. that said here is the problem and a lil back ground. shortly after the fall dragon my crossfire broke down, i was able to drive it home and use my obd2 scanner, it was the crank position sensor... i called the dealer, they said to bring it in. a couple months go by, and i take my car in lol. they replace the sensor, doesnt work, they tell me there are actually 2 different sensors so it might be the wrong one, they order another and install it, doesnt work, they say its the wiring and so they order another pigtail, doesnt work, they say its my ecu, order another one, 2 weeks go by as they reprogram my ecu, finally i am called to pick it up. they were worried about how dusty it had gotten and that there were hand prints on it so they washed it, with what looked like 80 grit sand paper... i was less than pleased but said oh well guess its time to pull out the buffer, i was walking up to the door when i noticed there trade mark... every time i take that car in they make sure they leave me a nice fresh ding somewhere usally on the driver side rear fender.
so... 1k miles and 2 months later after my car spent the whole month of january in the dealership, i pull into the car wash with the intention of using the pressure washer to just hose off the under carriage before i went home to due a thorough cleaning.... pulling up to the bay and they car dies... was running great 2 minutes ago, now its dead and wont start. i call up chrysler they send some yokle to tow my car that makes comment like "them be some skinny taaars" and i bet thoose wheels are pretty expensives, and wow thoose speakers back there dont look cheap, and informs me not to worry if the bumper scrapes the rollback, i wont be able to see it..... iu have him take me to my house, i get my truck and i follow him to the dealership and watch him unload the car and lock it and put the key in the drop box. so i get a call from one of the service writers he informs me its my fault and that i must have been driving at excessive rpms and high speeds for this to have happened, i say what happened, he informs me that my flywheels is in about 10 pieces in my bell housing.... i go ballistic, he hands the phone to the manager, this is the guy i usally deal with, and some idiot promoted him. so he tells me everything will be taken care and he is sorry for the way the other guy acted. the other guy calls me 3 days later and tells me they ordered, another crank position sensor, another wiring harness and a new flywheel. i ask was anything else damaged? he said there was a minor dent on the pressure plate... but it wouldnt hurt anything..... i say is the car on a lift? he replies yes, i say i'll be there in a minute. i hang up the phone im all the way down in southern maryland so i leave and get stuck in some of the worst traffic ive seen in some time, thinking i will never get there in time, my phone rings its the idiot again, telling me he just talked to the manager, and asked that since a few of the fingers on the pressure plate were bent if he could have it replaced... i said i thought you said there was just a little dent in it, he replies well yeah and some of the fingers are bent, i growl and say you better fix my gd car right this time. he reassures me he is doing his best, well his best is no where near good enough for me....
this brings us up to today when i made a suprise visit to the shop.... there is my car minus trans, also on a work bench near by is my pressure plate and clutch the old one had 5 fingers bent out of wack, so i inspect my clutch... what do i find? suprise suprise a chunk of the surface is gone on the flywheel side... im not happy, i growl, then i ask were you planning on putrting this piece of shlt back in my car, they reply well as you can see there is plenty of surface left on there, i flip it over and point out the missing chunk and growl. he goes my i never noticed that i'll order you a new one right now and he runs away.... this doesnt cost them a thing why dont they just fix it right instead of trying to short cut everything??????? anyone else had this many problems???
