ANd you and others call THEM stealers.....


If there is nothing wrong, there is nothing wrong. if your worried about it, by an extended warranty. Otherwise save the coin and get it paid off quicker.

Yep, some are stealers because when they find something that was overlooked and do warranty work on it, they are gonna overcharge to make a buck.

I got news for you, everything they said was 'normal' under warranty.... Really isn't.

Warranty is out in one week...

and you only have 9700 miles on it? I'd say you totally wasted your warranty, unless of course you bought used and only had a 90 day warranty!
