Air conditioner makes loud grinding noise when it turns on almost every time/ turn signal sometimes turns headlights off when you use it/ paint is getting eaten away in spots all over the car all they way to the metal/ dealer has been contacted on all of these problems they said that the air conditioning is normal sounding which is a bunch of crap they just dont want to spend the time to diagnose it properly and have to fix it, lazy grease monkeys alhtough one of the shop guys is decent and is trying to help me on the paint problem through the paint protector warranty that I paid for so we will see how that goes because most of the car needs to be repainted, and the warranty co. Only wanted to pay for color sanding or buffing big surprise there, just another big company trying to screw the little guy huh. Well thanks for listening to me you guys do great service here, thanks.
