theGeneral Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 It looks damaged, I would ask for them to replace it and if they don't take them to small claims court. That is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
never summer Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 There should be no reason a dealer would not take care of this and then some for your inconvenience. Good luck and if they give you crap, just be persistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkumaMax Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I would call the dealer and yell. I had a similar problem with me and Grand Subaru here in IL. I went in for a checkup and told them my drivers rear wheel was making a ticking sound when I would come to a slow stop. They looked at my car told me it was the Rotors. Then 3 days pass by and my wheel started thumping real bad when I accelerated. Get out and check out the rear drivers tire, looks good. Check the lug nuts. I could turn them with my finger. I have the OEM security lug and 2 turns and it came right off. One of the lugnuts broke off my car in the process of retighting them. Called them and had it replaced the next day free of charge.

Coupon Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Is it just the drain plug cover and the clips? Should be easy for everyone to make this better. But still, the dealer is the last place something like this should happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerboa113 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I recently had to buy new pop-its for my engine cover because of this kind of sloppiness. I change my own oil.. too expensive not to heh.

theGeneral Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 did you take your barber to court too when they gave you a bad cut? That has to be one of the most stupid comparisons I have ever read on the internet. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Really? Cause if you use regular oil and have the coupon from Sunday's paper, they both cost the same. The dealership may not have forgotten to put the pop-its back on. The trap door has the Philips head spiny pop-its which wear out after their 3rd use and can fall out on their own.

E-Tank Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I'd kill'em. You'd think after all that experience they wouldn't forget to shut the access door. On the flip side, though, after all those oil changes they probably get a lil sloppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnout8488 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Is everyone really getting this angered over a tiny flap of plastic? Obviously it shouldn't happen, but nothing can go wrong because of it... and the dealer corrected their mistake. It's not like they forgot to tighten his drain plug.

Rimfaxe Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I never liked the cheap OEM plastic undertray and popits. Here's a great way to fix the problem: More info here: http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=113821&highlight=skid+plate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
