Never had that done. But um try having it looked at by a differrent dealer after this fixes it again and explain what they did. Maybe you'll get better service. Sorry , yeah it's NOT funny. And yeah refuse to pay of course.

 

well..the dealership is right down the street from SPEC Clutches..and im seriously gonna bitch about this...so...im gonna bitch and complain about gettin it done for free, along with new clutch and flywheel...b/c of this.....i mean, seriously, they ****** up...and im gonna tell them, ill keep my mouth shut if you fix it for free and replace the clutch, or i will contact a high represenative, b/c this isnt a joke to me....its serious...we are decent patrons for this dealership...we have purchased at least 4-5 cars from them, and we have a relationship built...and a careless mistake can ruin that....im not happy...so, if its done for free, thats great, but if not, my mom will probably drop the contract on the new 500 she just bought...

 

Be sure that you address them calmly first before you blow up. It's not funny but you seem very upset, like you think they are going to try and screw you over. Just be calm, "You catch more flies with honey...."

 

i got screwed over with the clutch and flywheel..i was barely outside that warranty, and there was a TSB issued, and i called svt, and they said the dealership should pay, and i asked calmly and they were like, nope...it was 1300...its not my fault that they made a replacement part that didnt re use the old flywheel..b/c i had to pay for that..and they had to replace clutch disc, flywheel and pressure plate....they didnt even help pay for it....so...im mad anyways w/ them...

 

Well you can get steamed, but do it in a classy way. So you get a good response and good work. Good luck.

 

Yeah, you are right...btw..i looked at your car on car domain...do they have grilles w/ clear lights like the SVT grille?

 

I haven't seen any SVT one's. But I think they would fit, same body style and all.
I got mine off ebay. $125.00
Just search for them.

 

sweet.....it looks great..i want clear side lamps, and the clear grille...

 

It would look great on yours of course. Hope you find them. Good luck on this other problem as well. I hope it gets resolved. []

And thank you. The clear grille was my V-Day present, best ever! [thumb]

 

Oh, i will...it will be resolved...i love my lil svt...too bad it doesnt have a turbo..GAH...

 

^^Well not yet anyway, right?

 

Yeah, i'd be all about making them fix that for free. If THEY messed it up THEY should fix it at THEIR expense. However, as was mentioned before, try to be calm and nice about it...mention how many car you've purchased through them and explain how you've NEVER been dissapointed until now and explain to them what YOU think they could do to make you happy again. If they fight you, then just calmly ask to speak to their boss...eventually you'll get high enough that someone will break and give it to ya

 

I think i'd flip out regardless!
No anger management class would even come close to calming me down.
Something of this magnitude can leave permanent damage to other parts and components that right now your not able to see.
Thats insane!

But i think you handled it better then i ever could of.
Or maybe you didn't fully grasp the seriousness of the situation yet.
Either way BUUS-FRA-BAAAH to you for keeping it chilled. [^]

 

call the the ford complaint line.................i know it sounds like a wussy way of doing it but i had to with a clutch prob i had and the next day the service manager called and apologized for the inconvience and fixed it that day

 

^^^^yep, they don't get as much for their yrly. bonus' with negative reports on the record. Trust me, that makes a big difference!

We got an 04 ZTS for the price of a couple happy meals, because they sold us a lemony svt.

 

everything should be covered unless you broke your trans mount then they will call it abuse and stick you with a bill

 

Anyway, before you get all foamed up over this, see what they DO say. Usually if something is as glaring a goof-up as this seems to be, they'll be a little embarrased that it happened, and even the crappiest shop will realize the jig's up and it's time to do the right thing.

As long as the bell-housing bolts are still tight, I don't see where you have any grounds to demand a new clutch, though. That should not have been affected by this little mishap.

 

they have ordered a new cv boot, and thats all the has to be replaced, but if it creaks, or moans while i corner or pops or anything, believe me, ill be callin the complaint line....they are fixing it for free...MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

 

wait...your axle came out completely?...if that happened. it was never set when actually being installed...but how many miles ago was this? boots break...seen it on cars with 25,000 miles... but even with the boot breaking, it should not drop. i've done plenty of transmissions and even i have forgot about the cv. but then again, i go on a 15-20 mile test drive and inspect all components...

 

well, its been taken care of now....im not stuck w/ the bill or anything...muahaahahahahaha...

 

And how is the car? Good I take it? Good for you.

 

i get it tuesday....
