I never go to dealers. However there was a recall outstanding for a door latch so I made an appointment for that. Its got a few other issues so I figure "hey why not bring it in and see if they'll fix a few things before warrantly runs out?"
Three complaints...
1) AC is beginning to come out warmer on the passenger side than driver side, sure sign the A/C evaporator is on its way out.
2) Seat makes a loud click when taking a left turn, and the latch on the bottom of seat doesn't fully return to where is should be after flipping the seat forward with the top latch
3) when cruising on the highway there's an audible squeek/rattle coming from right rear of car. Its metallic, like if a bolt was lose and the washer was rattling around.
Was any of it fixed? na
1) They say there's only a 2 degree difference between left and right vents. I am not sure if this is "acceptable" or not, but given all the issues with the s550 A/C Evaporator, to me its in the early stages of failure
2) Said the seat is functioning normally, but did find some lose change in the track (.35!) and blamed it on that. Of course the seat is still clicking...
3) blamed the noise on a lose plastic funnel in the trunk (I forget what its for). still hearing the noise if course
But wait, they did find something wrong with the car they needed to investigate further. The touch screen climate control was not responding to inputs. They apparently couldn't tell it is a V6 with aftermarket (TomTop) radio. I should have let them "fix" that one, might have gotten myself a new Sync 3 unit :lol:
Will try again or do to a different dealer for the issues I'm having, but likely will just fix them myself when they get annoying enough.
Just wanted to vent and give you folks a laugh. Cheers!
