Thread: OMFG *@!#$ ^%$%*#@! 1!@# (rant)

I am not supposed to curse in the thread title, so i ******* did not

So, my car is at the local Nissan dealer, why you might ask? well

I brought it to the local oil change/carwah place last week to you guessed it, get the oil changed. They tell me that my intake is really dirty with carbon and I really should get the fuel system cleaned witch they can do for 59.99, they tell me that they dont just put an additive in the fuel line, they use a pressurized system on the intake to really 'get it clean'. I thought about it and never having had bought any of their 'extra' services before, thought, **** the car did just hit 85k miles, the fuel system could probibly use a cleaning. So I give them the OK.

My car is finished and brought around front. I hear the car idleing really funny, I get in and look at the Tach, it is jumping up and down between 1.5k and 2k, I rev the engine alittle, it sits at 1600 (has never in the 3 years and 85k miles i have owned it moved from an idle of 750) So without even leaving the shop i bring it to their attention. they take the car around back. 5 (yes 5) of them stand over the hood for a half hour, turning the car on and off again. Finally i walk over and say that i would like to bring it to Nissan. They tell me that I have to bring it to a mechanic that they use. Fine, I go.

Their machinic is a nice guy and tells me that my drive by wire throtle system is all ****ed up and a 600 dollar part is the cause.

Fine I tell him to fix it and the oil change place agrees to pay. Yesterday He got the part and put it in.

The car is still ****ed up. He calls Nissan, They tell him that my car needs a "re-learn" procedure.

Fine I get an appointment scheduled for this morning, and I go.

Nissan then tells me that my car is really ****ed up, they dont yet know what is wrong with it, and it could be there for 2 weeks!!!!!! I am supposed to drive my family (who is flying in from indania) my girlfriend and myself on vacation this weekend. I have no other car, my girlfriend does not drive, I am screwed and now have to rent something, and still dont have any garentee that the oil change place is going to pay to fix whatever it is that they ****ed up, n addition to what their machinic fixed.

The only good thing to come of all this is that nissan told me my car does infact have CAN eventhough it is an '02

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
