Sorry to hear of your misfortune I am not going to get the recall done too many night mare stories.. and ill be damned if Ill leave my car over night or even alone with these clowns.. while im not there.. They pulled that *#*& with my friend.. and.. next time.. drop it off.. grab a cam corder sit in yrou friends car and see what they call "road testing it" And catch it all on camera.. if I ever have to drop my car off this is my plans.. just my .02 but I put a lot of time and money into creating my dream to have some .. lil service.. punk.. wreck/beat on it.. so he can go tell his friends he was ripping on this vett on a test drive.. I have been a mechanic.. for dealerships and I know how things go down..

No on a positive note hope the dealer you brought it to was a Chevy/Cadilac dealer and yoru rental they gave you was a CTS V model.. then go beat the **** out of it and post your results here...

So everyone knows I watched them work on the car the whole time! There was no test drive to my 6 speed. It is a Chevy/Volvo dealer. Unfortunately I got a Nissan Sentra as my rental. I'll let u know of the outcome.
