I don't think it's that great a chance. Note every dealer is incompetent. Most are smart enough to see a major repair and put the right people on the rob. My service adviser said they put the guy who builds engines all day every day for a hobby on the job. They'd done 14 of them by the time I got my car back, and only one had come back with a serious issue, a transmission misalignment that was easily fixed. I'm only 2500 miles or so in, but I've been driving it like I stole it. No issues other than the broken aftermarket header, and that header had been welded like five times before, so it wasn't the dealer's fault. It's just not a panic issue. Avoid it if you want, sure. But trade in and buy another one? Meh.
