I've just been really stressed, not just with this, but a few other things - grandma's been sick...has had strokes, haven't seen my girlfriend much because of her job and she's so tired, and my family is trying to make me take sides about my grandma...w...

The Case of the Broken Crangshaft
My coworker stopped by her VW dealership which she has a relationship with. She spoke to one of her buddies there. I just called him. He said if they indeed tune my car, and I have proof of it, it was negligence on the service adviser's part, and I should have an easy case in small claims court. The...

The Case of the Broken Crangshaft
The GM is a such a fucking prick. He sounds like an asshole on the phone. He said he spoke to Volkswagen engineers and they said that fault code has nothing to do with that issue. He was saying that the "adviser forgot to clear the codes after the work" I said according to my service repo...

The Case of the Broken Crangshaft
I said this part doesn't break. He said it's all over blogs. I said that was for a previous model and there was a recall. I said this part does not break. He said he's seen "so many camshafts break. that they just go."
what the fuck.

The Case of the Broken Crangshaft
So check-mate pal... get the loaner back before he charges you even more for it :dat: Plus, blaming this on an over-rev in an automatic trans vehicle is :lolgasm: Unbelievable. If it was really an over-rev, they'd be selling a new engine. Over-rev is death to pistons, valves, head, etc. This story ...

He's calling the Service Manager to see what he can do about pricing. He said he's not paying for the whole thing.

More tests are being run. It could be a combination of a UTI and Pneumonia. They aren't too certain yet though...haven't gotten results yet. My mom and sister are with her now...they said she seems normal. Thanks for asking!

The Case of the Broken Crangshaft
Yep, after speaking with the GM that's exactly what I intend to do. Small claims court in NJ is max $3,000, so could cover the minimum repairs, if I won the negligence case. At least have an attorney draft the demand letter. It shouldn't cost you more than a couple hundred dollars, but If you send ...

Someone from the Executive Offices @ Corporate just called me, since I had reached out the CEO last week. Basically she talked it over with people, and because of the tune (which she said is moot at this point since the car is outside of the warranty), that goodwill cannot be given from a Corporate...

OT 13: Irrelevant Irreverence
Sister just called me saying not to freak out, but my grandma is currently in the hospital. My cousin called my mom and told her she was slurring her words. My mom and sister went over there, and she was slurring her words. They called 911 and she was taken to the hospital.
That's all I know.

Is the loaner free?
There is nothing in the paperwork I signed that states I had to pay for a repair to not get charged for having a loaner. They could argue that you had the car in unauthorized possession because they were under the impression that you were going to repair the car with them through VWOA or otherwise....

Wait did this actually happen? I mean it seems plausible but I don't :member: reading it.

Totally uncalled for. Life f...

So I'm looking over the loaner paperwork. Customer agrees to return the Loaner Vehicle within 12 hours of being advised by the Dealer that my car is ready for pickup I am allowed to drive the Loaner Vehicle within a 100 mile radius. I agree to pay $70.00 per day, for every day that the car is in un...
