sounds like its THEIR problem .. was not there when you brought it in ...
id say that they were doing dougnuts in parking lot with the "look its a twin turbo truck"
lets see what it can do

TC lights dont go on unless there is a wheel spin/traction issue

do oil changes yourself .. it does not void warentees.. and they cant tell you that it does..
read fine print
as long as you "Keep detailed records of when and what was used"
its still covered...

i had this issue with my repsol honda in 07.. they pulled that **** with me ... i have records for EVERYTHING on my toys...
they lost that fight

no dealer can MAKE you get service done at the dealer ...
its up to you to keep accurate records and reciepts for what you buy..
but you can do your own work

NOT

another example.. i know a guy .. an handicapped guy at that .. has a saleen .. takes it in for service cause clearly he cant do his own work (hes in a wheel chair)

has the whole roof mounted wheel chair thing and all ..
takes car for service with 30k miles on it ..
gets a call 2 days later they need to replace his engine...
after some investigation .. why do they need to replace a 30k mile saleen engine..

cause some tech thought it would be cool to do doughnuts in back parking lot and blew the engine
they replaced the engine and a few other things (charger too) no questions.. all costs covered.. not 10 cents out of his pocket ..

hmmm just happened to blow the engine on a routine service huh ..

do your own work going fwd

Maybe they used blinker fluid instead of motor oil?

Never said "lucky" but since you did, what would have happened if the steering locked up on you while doing 70 mph?

Mine died at around 1,100 miles.
