NEWSFLASH: Another Heat Shield ISSUE! and Dealer Reimbursement...

[prlwhitecoupe]

So I haven't posted in awhile, cause this form has gotten a little out of whack, but neways, so for those who know my history and can agree with the shatty annoyances with the car and all the stuff I had to get repaired I get to add another to the list!!!! Wow...I'm so lucky!....

So lately I've been driving around hearing my heatshield rattle like crazy, it's so embarassing when you're trying to look good in a nice car, and the next thing you know your god damn heat shield makes a disgusting metal vibrating sound! So today I take it back to the dealer, and what do I find out, (I thought it was the heatshield recall not fixed properly)...it's not the heatshield that was repaired under the recall but rather another heatshield behind that one, apparently one of the weld tacks came off!!!!! Another perfect example of BULLSHAT AMERICAN WORKMANSHIP!...big fat beer bellied monkeys on that assembly line I swear! SO they gotta order a new part and will also be getting my brakes serviced since they are squeaking!....

So in relation to wht I was talking about not too long ago that my service manager was willing to reimburse me for my troubles, he has agreed to install FOG LIGHTS and NISMO CAT-BACK for $500.00 installed; he also mentioned just for fun that as soon as they get a GT-R, he will call me and I'd be able to go a for a ride....hah...that put a stupid smile on my face!...I mean how could I refuse that!....Well anyways it worked and it made my day....SO SAD...lol....but then I drove home in my rattling A/C and the hurt just came rushing back....

Well good luck, at least you are getting compensated somehow

Alright dudes, I admit I got a little carried away. I was angry. My apologies if I offended anyone.

Thanks for your replies. Much appreciated.

The point actually was to warn you guys that it might happen to you too. So just be forewarned, my car is almost at 20,000 km.

Hey JL, trust me man it's been more than just a few rattles.

The amount of **** that I went through, I didn't even wanna pay $500 for that stuff, I should've gotten in for free!

- Replaced 2 transmission fluid lines- new radiator- new brake pedal- new brake light switches- new driver's seat- new headliner (fixed 3 times)- Recalls - Air deflector - Heatshield- New Heatshield, different one - soon to be fixed due to a ****ty weld tack...hmm I wonder who's responsible for that!?...I don't even drive the car in the snow, and I've never scraped it, she sits in the damn garage.- Still got crackles coming from the stereo bracket...- Still get vibration noises from sunroof...- Still get squeaky noises from seatbelt tensioner on driver's side...

I think this qualifies as Bull**** workmanship.

You have a lemon. There is no reason for all those things to go wrong. I haven't had any issues(knocks on wood) other than rock chips from the extremely thin paint. 1st edition cars are usually notorious for bugs & it sounds like you got all of them in one car.
