Mightyjlr asked what could have gone wrong with the oil change. . . I'm wondering that myself.

They were unable to find anything wrong with it. Rechecked everything they did, and checked for evidance of spillage burning off, they can't see anything wrong.

But, my oil light and the wrinkling smell of burnt oil in my nose beg to differ.

This is as short as I can make the chain of events:

I've had the TSB'ed wind noise issue since day one. It finally came back fixed (yesterday) after seven trips in, three replacement moldings, and a whole new window (after they over adjusted one and it shattered in the lot, "untouched").

Over one of the "Its fixed, we road tested it, no wind noise" breaks where I get in, and find the noise again within a mile of the dealership, I decided when I broght it back the next day (for round five of the wind noise) I'd have them change the oil (just brushing 3.5K miles).

Next day, they change the oil and give me the "Its fixed, we road tested it, no wind noise" line. I get in, and of course, noise. I take it right back again (same day, as it was still early, instead of an afterhours pickup).

Get it back, again with the same line I've heard so many times. Again, not fixed. But, its late so I decided to take it home, and try for the seventh time in the morning. That's when I look down and noitice the Oil light it on.

Of course, I'm scared breathless, in the middle of a traffic jam and construction on the shoulders. I just find a break where I can get off the road and the light goes off (maybe on for only 20 seconds that I noticed). Panting and sweating I decided to just get it home before I look at it (only a couple more miles, and I was just trying the 'pretend it didn't happen' technique I am so good at).

Get home, open the door, and wheeeeh! Burnt Oil Stentch. I was willing to play ostrich on the light (just being changed, maybe it was resetting the computer or something, I tried to reason with myself), but I can't ignore the smell.

That's where the first post in this thread picks up. Had a long serious heart-to-heart with the GM, VP and Head of Customer Relations. Told them my impressions of their abilities (quite calmly and politely, I might add) They had the car for two-weeks. Fixed the wind noise, finally (after breaking the window and starting over), replaced the lower grill pieces the tow service destroyed. And, Told me they couldn't reproduce or find the oil problem.

That was yesterday. I've driven it a little bit, to see if the smell returns, okay so far. Since I can't trust what they actually tell me (see wind noise above, also several things I was told during the Transmission replacement nightmare that I have since found to be false), I wonder what they really found and didn't want to own up to. Or worse, what they didn't find, since they can't seem to adjust a window in six tries and the TSB right infront of them (Or check to see if they have fluid when chaning a transmission, or follow proper Chrysler proceedures on warrenty approval, etc,.).

Called all the dealers in this half the state, no one has any real experience with it here (one other place has changed oil in one once), and it only gets more rural in the other half. Also called two Merc dealers to see if they would just peak at it, and double check the work what parts are from the SLK (they wouldn't).

I am contemplating flat-bedding it to Detroit over the shut-down to get it to a dealer who has actually worked on them in real life. I just don't trust a single thing they have done (Including the transmission). But, that's a lot of money when I could just let it burn itself out, and sue the dealer instead. (obviously, quite cynical at this point) I really don't want to get rid of the car. I loved it at the beginning. But now, I just feel ill whenever I look at it, I'm afraid to drive it, and I don't trust the oil or the transmission (or the windows from shattering right next to my face, for that matter).

That's (almost) the whole story. I will try and make my final decision on the car in the next few days.
