Angry WOOHOOO, just friggin perfect!!

today is friggin great!!

first I was just happy that I got my car back from service that the suspension squeak is gone. BUT NOW, I AM PISSED!!!

the first thing that pissed me off is that the roof trim molding which was suppose to be replaced was still popping up because they didn't REPLACE IT!!! they only try to fix the clip like last time which like last time it doesn't work. I pushed it back down for now, don't know if it will pop up again.

the second thing is what really pissed me off. i'm at my brother's place right now actually, and when I left home I thought I didn't turn on the headlight because I couldn't see **** more than 10feet. It turns out the auto-leveling is no longer working on both side. I had to use my high-beam which now aims foward at the height of where the low-beam was suppose to be. WTF!!! The good part is that this is underwarranty still, and if they couldn't fix the problem (I'm hoping they couldn't) they'll probably replace the entire unit which I hope they can change it to Bi-Xenon.

I'm gonna have to take my car in tomorrow AGAIN for the third time in three weeks. Great work efficiency eh!

sorry for the language btw...

As for the roof trim molding... once it popped out it won't be easy to push it back down.... My dealer also tried to "fix" it by putting in a new piece but still didn't work. What they ended up doing is to add a LOT of clips in between and that sucker finally goes down!

if they crap out any other time it would be fine and I would just laugh it off, but not right after I got the car from the dealer for service.

I haven't got to part that the service tech changed my ****ing memory seat setting and the convenience setting from only the steering wheel moving to steering+seat moving when getting out of the car. I was like WTF!! I hate people changing my seat memory.

So Frank,
Where does it stand on your car? Your post was one of the reasons I started the thread on dealer service. But there has been a poor response.
