Basically, over the three year ownership, all by my dealership, who I still like very much; they really DO seem like they're trying to do right by me..
Two failed cam coverplate reseals. I finally gave up and, with their blessing, installed the Raceseng plate myself. No issues since.
Timing chain cover started to leak. Dealership resealed it, and I had them do new plugs at same time (60k).
Recall done at 70k.
Engine replacement OK'd and done 500 miles or so later, including new plugs even though I had that done 10K miles ago... because engine meltdown ruined new plugs.
60 miles and one day after finally picking up the car after engine assembled and installed, check engine lightand very loud ticking at idle, so back to dealership where it stil resides. Code identified as incorrect fuel/air ratio, leading tech to check direct injectors. Call from service manager saying injectors are not covered by my Certified warranty, nor by the one year/unlimited mileage shop warranty on the recent engine/recall/warranty work.
This, after they agreed to replace the plugs which were ruined by engine meltdown. Never replaced the seals on the direct injectors, because new seals "weren't included an any of the of recall or engine kits they ordered." Sooo.. they removed the injectors and replaced them, now more than once as they troubleshoot, without new seals.
So... yeah. I'm increasingly concerned and frustrated. It's been two months without a car, they've only been able to provide a loaner for half that time (currently without one), I've been very nice and appreciative throughout this entire mess, and THEY'VE been equally pleasant and good to deal with.
BUT... no car.. and potential issue ahead. One sad panda here.
Sooo.. yeah.... as a wise man once said, "Son, if you can't laught at it... maybe it's not funny."

it's not funny, but it's reality
not to be mean, but u sound like you're letting the dealership push u around.. it's nice to be Mr. nice guy once in a while, but if they mess up that many times, i would either look for another place to work on my car OR escalate this waaaaayyyyy sooner
i haven't had the best luck in my own car, so i'm thinking the curse will continue and the recall will kill off my car.... that's the only way i can rid of this curse and get myself into a type R...
