A dealer experience, part 2 - 07/27/02 12:11 AM
My dash kit install experience.
If you didn't see my first post about my dash recall experience this is what happened the 1st time I brought in my car: I made an appoint to have my dash fixed because it was warping. I brought my car in to have it serviced. I called the dealer back later in the day only to have the service writer tell me that cannot perform the recall on my car because they don't have the parts!
This is what happened this time: I make appoint once I get the post car in the mail which says they now have the part. I drop off my car. I pick up my car later in the day and start to drive it off. I notice the dash is blowing nothing but hot air no matter what the climate control settings are set to. I back up and tell them something is wrong. A guy comes out and says sorry I forgot to connect something and connects some wires in the dash that he accesses from opening the glove box all the way up. It fixes the problem and I leave.
Later that week: I notice the steering wheel is bounching when I go over bumps (it didn't do this before the dash warpage kit was instaled on my car). I can jiggle the steering wheel up by two inches! So I brought it back to the dealer today and asked them if someone could look at the steering wheel. They look at it, tightened some bolts under the dash, said sorry, and sent me on my way.
Now I'm just HOPING this didn't forget to thighten up whatever else they untightened before. Who knows what things they forgot to do and I don't know about cause I can't see into my dash?!
