alright, so 3 months ago i brought my car into shop to have the "clunking on acceleration "problem diagnosed.
For some reason my fairly new Guibo was Shredded to the bones. They diagnosed it as a "Binding rear u-joint" and reccomended full driveshaft replacement. $800+ and a brand new driveshaft later...
3 months and now it is today. I returned the car to the same shop for the same problem, which started small and progressed for the past 2 weeks. It acted and progressed just as before.
This time they inspected it and found a horribly worn guibo, on its way to being shred like before, and a torn CSB, which was where the most of the vibration seemed to come from while inside the car.
They first said they did not know, and would warranty the parts, and this was the last time. (and first.) So they began to dissassemble the DS.
get this, Next the lady tried to blame it on the "Driver", stating "these things arent made to be driven like this, i see evidence of torque. its not made to be drag raced on from a dead stop. you are obviously driving the car too rough."
I had to talk to the only technician there who has a brain in his head, and is consequently the youngest, and owners son. He assured me theres no way that the above could be true, Which i tried to tell the lady.
I asked them to check everything, from the runout of the transmission flange, to the brand new driveshaft, and the differential( diff has some play but not unusually large amounts)
But everything they knew to check they said was fine.
And i was sure to have them check.
So the end is the lady says they wont warranty the parts again, (Bullshit), and that the labor cost is not covered by the warranty.
i ended up wasting all day and paying 119 dollars for a new guibo and CSB that may fail in the next two months.
Any suggestions?
thanks for reading.
