There's more I could add to this list. Here's a couple...

1. Isuzu P/Up was leaking oil where the driveshaft enters the rear pumpkin. Took it to dealer, they supposedly fixed it, I went to pick it up. Got into the truck to drive it out of their lot and it made a very loud roar. The dealer was closing but I managed to find the Service Manager. He said it was my tires making the noise. I got him into the truck and we only rolled maybe 30 feet and he said pull it up to the service door. The idiot replaced the seal but didn't tighten it up.

2. My CPS went out in my Excursion. Took it to the dealer, we agreed it was the CPS, figured tops would be $250 to replace. I would have replaced it but I didn't have time to do it. I go to pick up the truck and they want $825 for the repair. Said they found a blown fuse which took a lot of time to find. Meantime they programmed a couple of keys, thinking that was it. Charged $80 apiece for those, and on and on. I was mad as all get-out. Got them to reduce the price to $635. And I stayed mad up until the time I got my recall refund check. FWIW, they charged me $190 for the CPS.

3. And the VW dealer who refused to do anything about my 100K timing belt making a noise at 60K, even though it's under warranty. The belt has obviously migrated to cause it to rub up against an idler or whatever. They said they will do something once it fails, even if it requires replacement of the engine. So until then, do I drive around with a dark cloud over my head, always wondering if this is the day and the place that it fails? Makes you not want to get too far away. Going to have to escalate this.

That's all I can think of for now.
