Ask the Mole on his thread. He's one of the quality inspectors on the line. If it's a commong problem, he will know what to do. Look for the thread entitled "Yes, I work on the..."

any fixes for this yet

TomServo · 06-09-2009, 10:17 AM

I'm not concerned about the actual fault (lord knows my son's car had his share) that the dealer had to fix, my question is "how do these defects go un-noticed and the car shipped"?? Seems to me with all the hoopla over "Quality Being Job One" something like this should have never reached the dealer let alone the buyer.

Is anyone looking these cars over before they ship or get delivered?

I have no doubt that the QC people are doing a great job, just got to be aware that no matter how well they do their jobs, there will occasionally be something slip through on them it is human nature. Hell, that could have happened during shipping or after delivery, we may never know.

My thoughts exactly!

Thats why you go over your vehicle with a fine tooth comb (with salesman) before driving off the lot. I know I will be looking over all these problem areas mentioned on this forum.

Did you ask the Mole ? I'd pm him or find his thread and post your problem. He'll get back to you pretty quick.
