    can't, sadly - vehicle is not road worthy as is rn - I barely got to the dealer, won't go above 50mph and it jerked when trying to accelerate more.

    Safe bet.

    But at least they can’t point a finger at the installers.

    Mike Erdman in Cocoa - sad thing is, I really liked them - had a wonderful experience when I purchased the truck originally - but this morning I had the bad luck of getting a bad service rep on a power trip that thinks the dealership is hers and all potential repairs will come out of her pocket.

    Maybe so, but will they. Nope. They are banking on the op's credit card limit.

    Nope, cause bumper to bumper warranty means shit. Read the fine print.

    Of course :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
    but if I put an insurance claim, won't the insurance fight the charge with the dealer if this is a blatant violation of the terms i:e the dealer refusing to cover even though it clearly falls under warranty?

    I was going to say, ask for the manager for a second opinion.

    Obviously don’t make it about “that”
