not to argue but in my post i gave him the advice to have just taken the car back to the dealer and got them to fix it.
i didn't think that it was a huge stretch for someone to notice an error made by the dealer to think that they should just take it back and have it fixed. its really not rocket science.

If he was worried about driving ALL the way back to the dealer I assume he has a phone that he could pick up, call the dealer, speak to the service advisor or manager and explain the situation to and get the RIGHT answer directly from the only source that will give him closure on this situation. We can advise all we want but that won't get him anywhere, but one conversation with the dealer would solve it once and for sure and probably taken less time that it took him to log on and create this post. Further it would have avoided comments like mine which wasn't the most political or the post from All_bets_off.

in short i gave him the answer to the question he asked "what should i do" i said go to the dealer. I also gave him a little flack for not thinking of it on his own as this is a pretty simple issue to have resolved.

my post was not directly critical, as your's was. Mine was sarcastic as hell. I think skittles is just saying to just chill on the remarks aimed directly at the person...

For instance I have a cracked fog light (my Si is only 3 months old!), should I say hey you guys messed up big time with the oil change so I want to get my fog light replaced for free.
Find a reasonable solution to remedy the problem.

ie: Call the dealership & ask a few questions first.
