Flatbed wrecker.Update to the situation of the car:
On Wednesday, I called another dealer (Walnut Creek) and I made an appointment for next week to take the car there. They told me that they would be able to tell me what is going on with the car in at most 1 day or 2, and that after that they would be able to start with the repairs
At the same time, I called my dealer (Serramonte Ford) saying that the lack of communication and of a rental car was unacceptable, and that I was going to pick up the car on Friday: the car has been there for more than 2 weeks, with no updates on what is going on with the car or what is going to happen next. I shared my intention of taking it to another dealer, and asked them that, if the car was "undrivable", I wanted to have it on writing to avoid liability issues for the warranty
Today Serramonte called me and told me not to go tomorrow and pick up the car, because it can't be driven. I said that I had given them 2 days to have it ready to be driven (not fixed), and they told me that unfortunately they can't let me pick it up. At least they mentioned that it is a timing related issue, but that was pretty much it
Situation is becoming really frustrating. At least now I have a rental, but not knowing what is going on is driving me nuts. I know that the warranty will cover, but lack of transparency and respect is so frustrating
BTW, I found a YouTube video of the grinding noise that the car has:
