Default Re: Need advice; may be taken advantage of by repair shops

Idaho, thanks for the advice on how to handle a pothole when I inevitably encounter them. In answer to your question the original place has not fixed the sensor problem yet, but they I'm determined that they will - all a part of the damning letter I'm writing to corporate HQ. Also asking them to replace the tires (new tires driven on bent rims for 6-8 weeks because they missed the bent rims right in front of their eyes) b/c I was advised that there was minor cupping already which would work itself out in 2-3K miles now that everything's back in order. That may be the case, but I'm not subjecting the suspension to 2-3K miles of cupped tires because of the initial store's negligence. I've driven the car a few more times since I posted last and out of rush hour so I could sustain the highway speeds longer. At 65+ mph there is still a little shimmying in the steering (minimal compared to pre-rim replacement but not back to normal smoothness) which tells me the rims did need to be replaced and what's left to the shimmying is those "slightly" cupped tires. I will lawyer up if necessary to be refunded for all the initial store's screw ups. I've never been so angry about anything.
