Sounds to me like that dealer has been notified they are NOT going to have their franchise renewed!

Issue #3 sounds like a bunch of to me - but if they paid for new tires for you, then .

That's a lot of things to go wrong with the car, but hopefully everything is worked out and you'll not have any more problems.

1. On the first day of buying my c5, it was raining, the next day I took it back to the stealer ship because it had turned into a uboat, the repair took 3 days, they replaced all of the rubber seals, One day after getting it back more rain came back in, sat another 2 days at the stealer ship. total cost $900.00 all on them. One other thing the repair guy tells me no one drive a corvette in the rain.

2. 1 month of owning the turn signals stop working, plus something in the gas tank had to be replaced total cost $2000.00 all on them.

3. 2 weeks later get into my car in my little computer tell me I have xxx for tire pressure. They tell me we have to replace all of your tires because the metal in the tires you have are blocking the signal. Total cost $1800.00 all on them.

4. 1 year later service traction control, leak from the rear diff, loss of power, drivers seat moves when accelerating, left front headlamp grinds when closing, after filling car up with gas you can smell fuel like its leaking and check engine light is on. Total cost $7000.00. The car has very low miles on it. Thank god for the extended svc plan.

It's all on them priceless
Don't need to vent, Get A lawyer, one who does this kind of work. Close door and let the system work. Good luck !
