Default arrgh. was hoping to get my car back today from the dealer

but looks like i'll still be driving this damn rental. was expecting a FYI call today to see what's up with the car (since i was expecting to have it back before Christmas), but i just called the dealer and looks like everyone in service has already left. bah. >

had brought it in last week to get some issues fixed, picked it up a few days later and when i get on the highway the car is stumbling/misfiring bad (never had a misfiring problem before) so i bring it back to the dealer. car dies before it reaches the dealer and i had to get it pushed to the dealer because the car would not start anymore. the techs did end up getting the car to start up again, but the VAS 5052 said one of the cylinders wasn't firing (and it certainly didn't go in like that) & then it just died again. i was at least expecting a status on it today but looks like i won't even get that much.

Default I'm in the same boat. Literally. Driving a Mercury Sable.

I'm driving a loaner for Xmas too. It's got this awesome blue fuzz/blue tupperware interior and a large mystery stain in the front seat. It could be coffee or blood or worse . . .

Default If it makes you feel any better...

I don't have my car back either. I took it in on Friday from a burned powersteering pump and won't get it back til Thursday. I'm over it though, I've got a loaner to beat on!
