After getting the trans replaced, it was clear the new axles were bad - so after a week in service again they replaced the new axles, and then just after 600 miles, I noted the new transmission slipping on inclines.
Rather than get stuck with the truck in service for months again and waiting...
Well they said my ACs high side gasket was bad, I reminded them that this was an engine out repair they just dod, in any case that was fixed and I went home. Until I noticed that the axle still vibrated (10 miles of driving) so I took the truck back.
They said they didnt know when they could...
The dealer called and let me know the truck was done early. I picked it up after verifying that all the current recalls were done as well. While still at the dealer, I did a quick QA checklist to make sure the truck was working, and sadly, but not surprisingly, the AC did not work.
The dealer...
Dealer just called and said they will be starting work on the truck soon and should be fixed in a few weeks, 2 months prep work is not bad for such an exotic vehicle... I regret everything about this truck.
So took my questions to the dealer and the service department couldn't tell me much about the bearing that's bad other than it's not replaceable without replacing the transmission.
They said they have no loaners available, which leaves me having to buy another car since I am not paying for up to...
At this point I would say its inevitable the axles will go so depending on if they ever figure that issue out that will drive the ROI on the warranty. And new is always good :) but I would warranty that too...
At this time no. I am gathering questions and possible responses before I talk to them again, work still goes on though and this is going to be a problem.
As this happened at a bad time, timing wise, I am still gathering logical questions before I talk to the dealer again, my initial responses didn't pass my public comment tests... I will add this logical thought to the list.
Mine had this and some unrelated recalls then after they did the recall work and replaced the axles they found a bad bearing in the transmission requiring an engine out-transmission replacement... I am out of a car for probably two months now per the dealer, pretty terrible experience overall...
The dealer just called and said they completed the recall work it was brought in for but found bad axles. They replaced those and then found that the transmission was also bad due to a bad bearing that is not dealer-replaceable. This requires ordering a transmission and a full engine out...
