I hate my dealership because everytime they inspect my car they tell me something needs to be fixed when it doesn't. My inspection light is always on. everytime i bring it in they say its because a certain part is not functioning, but when i bring it in to get it fix the next day they say that same part is working 100% fine and its another part that needs to be fix. And the cycle goes on and on.

So the first time they said its the water pump, 2nd the coolent, 3rd time the spark plugs, anf 4th time they said the inspection light is on because some of the blubs are dead. And it will cost 200$ labour to fix. (note, my water pump is fine, coolent is good, spark plugs are 1 month new.)

so then i decide to fix the blubs myself and save 200$. so i spend 2 hrs opening the dam thing and its full of led's. and the blubs that are not working properly are some of the led's.

so now they tell me that there is no way to change those blubs and i have to buy a new unit for 800$. Also they told me i have to reprogram my car for 200$ because the odometer will not work after disconnecting and its illegal to drive without an working odometer.

what a crock of @#$#!. i plug the thing back in and the odometer works fine.
I'm so sick of these guys. the next closest dealership is 300km away.

so after spending 300$ of inspections they still cant tell me why my inspection light is on.

also aren't led's suppose to last forever? how do they burn out?

haha, I hate my dealership too. Besides being a bunch of wannabe stuck-up people, they will totally rip you off for every damn thing possible. I have stopped going to them, because thank god there is a very GOOD dealership about 45 minutes (a little far, but well worth getting away from my towns dealership) away that charges MUCH less for the same thing and are always 100% pleasent to be around and act like they actually want to talk to me. Maybe you go to my dealership, lol, its the one in athens,ga....
