NOV. 14, 2003 SECOND TRIP TO DEALER FOR NOISE IN STEERING, MILEAGE 35,423. NOISEY SLIP JOINT R&R INTERMEDIATE SHAFT AND LUBE AS PER BULLETIN #1-02-32-001C E7700A 1.2. THESE WERE BOTH COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. JUNE 2, 2005 RETURNED FOR A THIRD TIME TO THE DEALER BECAUSE OF CLUNKING IN THE STEERING WHEN TURNING. WARRANTY HAS NOW EXPIRED AT 57,632 MILES. I WAS TOLD WHEN I SET THE APPT. THIS WOULD BE AT NO COST TO LUBE AGAIN, BECAUSE OF MY TWO OTHER OCCURRENCES. AFTER SPENDING AN HOUR AT THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD I COULD EITHER HAVE THE SHAFT LUBED AGAIN AT A COST TO ME OF $120.00 OR I COULD HAVE IT REPLACED AT A COST TO ME OF $260.00. THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE EXPENSE BECAUSE THEY SAID IT HAD BEEN SO LONG SINCE THE LAST OCCURRENCE. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER TO SEE WHAT THEY WILL OFFER. | |
