this is why you dont take your car to a dealer with bull**** complaints, like "klunks at parking lots speeds" BTW, all manual muscle cars "klunk" occasionally when you shift at low speeds if you dont shift perfectly. this is why in general you dont make bull**** complaints and then trust your stuff to strangers. Perfect example is the dumbass who always complains about their steak not being cooked exactly right and they end up getting food someone spit in.

 

If I'm paying for a car and especially a car of that value and it's under warranty, I want any issues addressed while it's still under the warranty. I don't think there's any excuse for any business to abuse a customer in that matter.

 

well people need to grow-up and learn the lesson that "life isn't always fair" and "you cant trust everyone". This smartass probably took his car in to a dealer when nothing was really wrong with it, as a lot of people do for frivolous complaints just to be smartasses. I'm sure it's annoying to dealerships because I doubt they make any money when someone brings them a car with nothing wrong with it and it just wastes their time, he would have been much better off not taking it to the dealer in the first place for just a frivoulous issue as "my car made a klunk, there must be something wrong with it". Before you take your $40,000 car in for a frivolous complaint, remember that it's your car and your money your handing over to a stranger. it's called personal responsibility.

 

There's nothing frivolous about a new car making a clunk, especially to one who plunks down a lot of money. And sometimes it's the seemingly smaller things that turn into larger problems.
Just because the car is new doesn't mean it's automatically trouble free either. Maybe the owner should have been happy with the old standby "they all make that noise" excuse.

 

If I was working to pay for a $40k car it BETTER not make any noises! If it was used then that may be a different story. My wife's celica was under warranty when we bought it used and the 6 speed shifter made a "squeaking" noise that really got on your nerves. While getting the oil changed I mentioned the noise, they "supposedly" lubed the cable but it still was just as bad. I said heck with it. I don't go to the dealer for ANYTHING unless absolutely necessary. Warranty is gone I do my own oil changes!
