Escape to the Dealer

5/24/2007

It's been two and a half weeks.

I took my truck to the dealer to have a squeal fixed.

The squeal started around early march.. at 4000 rpm.

The dealer diagnosed it as the alternator and the belt.

They showed me the alternator that had overheated.. the housing had cracked in half.

I paid.. and as I was leaving the parking lot.. I heard the same squeal.... *groan*

I went once around the block and back into the dealership.

They gave me a rental and told me to take off.. they'd fix it.

Two days later.. I called... No worries. "it's all covered under an environmental warranty" they said.

"The parts are on order" they said.

Five days later I called them up. The truck had been in there a week and I wanted to head north.

"go up north, the parts still aren't in yet" they told me.

Well, it has been 17 days.. I'm still driving the rental.. paid for by the dealer.

No word on my truck.

I like the rental.. a Ford Fusion. But I miss my truck..

I think they ought to just give me a new one.
