| #1, i spent 1,164.73 to have my anti-lock brakes repaired at a dealer. i found a safety recall of 1.4 million reports of brake failure,with kelsy-have parts (kcb4and ebc4units).why if i had to spend over $ 1,100.00 to have my truck repaired was i not notified????? #2 my emergency flashers button is jammed and the dealer wants 485.00 to repair. i had the windshield wiper repaired. why is my emergency equipment failing? and there is no recall notice!!!! #3 my emergency brake cable and handle-both broke. how much is a dealer going to rip me off to repair. #4 i had to repair the cold solder joints on my hot/cold switch so my a/c would run cold. once again the dealer wanted to replace the whole unit-rip me off!! #5 why after almost 100 years cant a car maker build their cars better rather than causing the consumer to keep the parts/service industry booming. if my old man wasn't shot by a ?!@#$% fighter plane i would buy from the ?!@#$%, but i have no choice but to buy american (because i am one)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #6 one last thing when i had my fuel injectors cleaned the f/n dealer just pumped almost 60 lbs of air in my tires.(some cleaning)??????*ak | |||
