yeah, now I don't have to beat my dash up everytime I smack it.

mr_eh · 03-10-2004, 02:06 PM

on hold with them to see if they will fix...

they asked if the vehicle was registered to me and my address is correct, then told me to wait for a notice *sigh*...

i'd really enjoy having blinkers that worked

Midwest Kid · 03-10-2004, 02:22 PM

they cant do that. You dont need a notice. They must be busy at the shop so they're trying to prevent you from adding to it as long as possible. Once a Recall is issued, a dealer must honor it. There is no "wait for your notice" BS. Call another dealer. This is a safety recall. Ide make a complaint or ask to talk to the manager. If your turn signals worked ide say hold off, but since they dont, i would definately make a complaint.

Midwest Kid · 03-10-2004, 02:39 PM

Hey Bro, i just called GM and the dealer has to repair the car with or without the notice. I would call a different dealer just so you dont have to deal with a prick dealership.

mr_eh · 03-10-2004, 02:46 PM

this is the same dealer that wanted 300$ to fix it a fe wmonths back, there are no other pontiac dealers around here... ug...

was the recall issued for 00 grand ams yet? maybe thats his loophole?

Midwest Kid · 03-11-2004, 09:39 AM

i got this notice too....print it and go jam it down someones throat if they dont do what they're supposed to...have the manager call gm right infront of you and ask if you have to wait for a notice...sounds like good ol' normal BULLSH!T from our dealerships as usual... dealerships think they;re god or something, and will act snobby if you let them...when they pull that you gotta start yelling...doesnt happen TOO often to me anymore, but now that my warranty is done im sure they'll be finding all kinds of god awful problems with my car...

they're crooks, but what can you do...i say take it in and make then fix it if its causing you problems...if they still bitch, let me know and i'll scan my letter and email it to you...
