Hey all,
Just wondering - it's not yet been 30 days since i got my Calais from a dealership, and have noticed some issues. I figured driving it for a week and keeping an ear/eye out for some stuff would be advisable, and then i could call them back to have them fix whatever ridiculous issues they sold me alongside the car.
I noticed that it's been trembling oddly while idling, and there's a squeaking which *appears* to be from a belt, but i suspect is the HB. Upon looking today, it's wobbling a hell of a lot, but it's hard to tell exactly how much.
Anyway - i've been looking around tonight and have basically decided that upon replacement i'd like to use a powerbond under-driven HB, however; when i contacted the dealership, they spouted some gibberish about being unable to see me until the 2nd of January, which is just past 30 days from when i bought the car. Seems a little too suspicious and convenient. I assumed they were a reputable dealer, being part of a large company, but i seem to have been had.
Does anybody know what process i can undergo now to still have a usable car (thus allowing me to keep my job and feed my family) without practically declaring bankruptcy to pay for the repairs? Or, potentially, (and i know it's a long shot) any mechanics or dealers who would recognise the manufacturer fault which has led to this?
I'm not sure how else to put it, too tired to be more cohesive.
Anyway, as always - any help is appreciated. Thanks.
