Default Dealer Issue

The rear emblem on my '07 GT/CS had the paint peeling off so the dealer said it is under warranty, after I showed the car to them and they ordered a new one. Well they called and said the new emblem was in and to drop the car off. I made sure tell them 3 times to make sure it is the CS logo emblem and they said of course. Well guess what??? When I picked the car up it had a new emblem on it. A GT EMBLEM!!!! Well I was pissed and they said I guess the mechanic did not read the ticket because it was typed & hand written to make sure it was the exact replacement. Hopefully they are better mechanics the readers. So another CS emblem is on order. The Service Manager did call back to apologize and said he would make sure they had the right emblem prior to me going back out.
Also the shift **** rotates so they said they need to order a new one. I thought it could be tightened but they said it needs replacement. Hopefully they don't screw that up as well.

Hope they don't convert your car to an automatic next time.

I thought you should be able to tighten the **** as well but the dealer said it needs to be replaced! maybe the dealer gets more $$$$$ if they replace parts!

Last time I went to the dealer they scratched my steering wheel on the silver plastic, and my door. They were real good about it replaced my steering wheel and buffed out the scratch. They didn't give me the least bit of a hard time.
