Hammer, did our dealer tell you that my car was fixed? I have two issues with this and I know you will not take offense because we've been walking through this nightmare together. 1) That my car is 100% NOT fixed and they want to replace the computer next, with no promise that my car troubles will then be solved (did they actually lie to you?) 2) That they reveal information about other owners' cars without permission, and they told you about the status of my car before me! (actually I don't know if that last part is true because they called me at 2:20pm PST to tell me about my car, feel free to correct me)
Facts (abridged):
-I signed the sales agreement 8/17
-with no more than 30 miles on my car it threw a cel
-car taken back to my dealer on 8/18, was told it had an ignition timing problem, reset and released, told nothing could be done until the cel came back
-cel came back 8/19
-car taken to dealer again 8/21 where it has remained
-was told cam sprocket needed to be replaced
-cam shaft/sprocket replacement completed 8/29. no issues resolved, cel, idle rpm fluctuation, engine shake
-technician informed me that Subaru/corporate/wizard of oz wants to replace my computer next (please excuse my lack of car knowledge, I have no idea what a car computer is, but that is how it was described to me)
-no car computers currently exist on the planet earth, at least not until mid-September
I apologize for this entire thread. I hate complainers, but this car issue is now causing anxiety in my personal life, and very distracting to my work life. I joined this forum with the intention of being a valuable, contributing member to enhance others' enjoyment of this special car. now I fear I soon may not even be the owner of one. congrats to all the owners with no problems, can I get a ride and see what the car is really like?
