Given the situation, what do you propose I do?

 

JohnC5,

Your problem was diagnosed as a bad wrist pin, and If I'm not mistaken you already have the commitment of the dealership to fix it.

You don't have to do much at this point, other than take the car in.

Want good service? pull the service manager to the side and slap a $100 bill in his hand, tell him you want it fixed right. That coupled with a firm resolve and you'll get it straightened out.

Good Luck, and enjoy your car.

harold (Tripolar),
Something should be slapped alright and it's not a dead president into the hand of the service mgr., it's the service mgr himself for prolonging this saga for months! It doesn't take "stones" to pay off a dealer employee whose already been paid handsomely by the warrantee that was purchased with this car. As far as beating the crap out of a car under warrantee and demanding it be fixed-it's a sports car isn't it? Should u just drive it w/ your limp wrist draped over the steering wheel to the annual Roto-Rooter convention? The man has a legitimate gripe, where does it say in his warrantee 'not to rev motor over 4500rpm and 'avoid sudden starts'. All u capitalist pigs are the same; tell us how great the car is out of 1 side of your pie hole and then selling us a warrantee'just in case' out of the other side-then refusing to honor it! I agree that the Z is a great value, but not when it grenades @ 7000 miles it just goes into the pile of headaches that we each have to deal w/each day. As far as alittle 'tick',THE THING SOUNDS LIKE A DIESEL PICKUP:nono: and if we wanted one we wouldn't spend $50k for an imposter. Maybe money grows on trees for the rotor-rooter man (or should I say maybe u wipe w/$100 bills)but the rest of deserve what we pay a kings ransom for. America's sportscar was meant to be driven hard and last for more than 10K miles; look @ the crap that their selling today :nonod: Now our friend gets the consolation prize ; a patched together engine and 3 less months on his warrantee; waiting until someone got off their royal can and honored their committment. Put your fatcat wallet away schister, you've already been paid! :bs

 

Tripolar Disorder, are you completley ignorant? And do you have a disorder? Because everything you have said has been nothing but gripes about how his engine is messed up and how you think it's normal. You but be a big time hypocrit because your whining about what you say him whining so think about that for a min! And the noise IS NOT NORMAL! Hense that no body elses Z06 makes that noise! So if your car had something that was abnormal with it you wouldnt take it to the dealership? wait i know this question your going to say no, but you would and you know that! And what do you car that John wants his car fixed? It's not like you have to pay anything, it doesnt even concern you, so why are you trying to cause a argument over something that really isnt any of your business! Thats like you saying that you have a blown rod in your Z06 then i come in and say that your whining, because you have a problem! :troll :rant:

 

Hi johnC5 -

I listened to your car and it does not sound like something I would want to hear coming from my LS6.

If it were mine, I would insist it were fixed. You just have to then decide where it gets fixed, because they had better be good to your baby.

I wish you the best - and I look forward to your "I got it back!" post. :thumbs:

best regards -

That motor sounds nasty, ask the dealer to tear down the motor and inspect it. If he doesn't want to do that let him fix it his way. If that doesn't solve the problem Lemon Law. Good Luck and I wish you the best :thumbs:

 

I say start working on a lemon law -NOW. Look - for the money you get from GM you'll be able to get another Z06.

 

Thanks everyone for your feedback and support. :seeya
