Bad rear shock. Service tech hooning in my car
Well I went to the dealer for the first time ever for a warranty problem ended the experience unhappy.
Long story kinda short my car has been making a clunking sound from the drivers side rear over slight bumps at pretty much any speed. So after checking everything and not finding anything loose I figured it was a problem with the rear shock. (My car is stock) so I went to my local dealership. I won't name them but I'm sure with my location you can find the one closest to me if you must know.
Anyway I was due for my 7500 service( which is too long I think) and they were going to check out the problem. I told them to get me and I'll ride with the tech I even told them you can just pull out of the lot and hear the noise right away.
So I watch my car pull out after the oil change through the window and about five minutes later my little brother who was at lexus driving a new fsport is 350 calls me and asks who is driving my car.
I told him where I was and why and he proceeds to tell me how the car went flying by him and was trying to get sideways around the turns. The speed limit in the whole automall is only 25. He followed my car all the way back to the dealership and came in while I was confronting the tech and talking to the manager. Of course the tech denied it. I talked to 3 managers they said they will address the situation. And I'm not quite sure the reason for a 5 mile test drive in an industrial area when the automall loop is 9/10 of a mile he never left the area. Plus he was back in the area people always test the acceleration of new cars.
Really the noise is easy to replicate with any slight tiny bump it didn't need a 5 mile joy ride to hear it. It will make it over every bump.
And really if your out testing a car for a suspension problem I don't think you should be driving it like a race car especially when it's not yours to abuse and something could happen.
Anyway I get a new shock next thur and he will not be the one working on it.
Oh and service techs out there remember you never know who's watching.
P.s
Do any of you think I should take more action on this?
