Why? because there are people out there who would blame anyone and anything to get it for free. A lot of people come in with minor freckles on their vehicles and we would point them out to them just so they know, because we know if we did not it would look 10x bigger after their car got serviced.

Paranoia. Paranoia everywhere. I still stand by what I said, the dealership is not to be blamed.

And just because of paranoid customers, innocent until proven guilty.

And right there is where you lost all credibility.

Yeah.... that's total bs. You can't win a lawsuit that way. If the service center doesn't know there's an issue with the bushing since they didn't test drive it then how the hell are they supposed to tell the customer? By your very flawed logic I can go to the doctor with a broken foot, get it fixed, and then sue for malpractice because I ended up having a tumor no one knew about.
