Default At the dealer again for the 4th or 5th time for warranty work

I forget how many times it is now going back for warranty work. It's been there for 2 days and will be in there a few more.

This current time in at the dealer is:
1. oil pan leak
2. oil cooler leak
3. a coolant leak into the oil
4. something is wrong with the front rotors.



Prior trips were for:
1. a blown turbo
2. catalytic converter
3. tire pressure monitoring system
4. replacement of seatbelt
5. oil sending unit leaking


It's not costing me nothing but being on foot for all this time but why should a new truck have so many shop visits within it's warranty period?

Don't know what answer you would get from a forum that helps you.

1) It shouldn't.

2) Stuff happens, you got a bad roll of the dice.

3) You bought the first year of a new model and therefore will have more issues than those that wait until the end of year two or year three.

None of that will make you happy, but it's reality unfortunately.

I wouldn't be happy either. The coolant leak into the oil doesn't sound promising...

When I get it back I will scan and post the ticket print out for me so y'all can see what's done to it. They guy just ran down the list on the phone. He said every bit of it is warranty so I told him just fix and we'll talk about it when it's done.

I won't comment on all of your issues (you shouldn't be having). But, I'd suggest you keep detailed records on them and all keep your requests to the dealer in writing in case you need to leverage your states Lemon Law process.

Would you please indicate your vehicle specifics? i.e. year, drivetrain, etc..
