I had my Jeep in a few years back, before the extended warranty ran out for some piddily stuff.

The 4wd light didn't/doesn't come on when it's supposed to, and I had some other thing that I can't recall now going on.

So I had it in at the stealership for the work.  I sat and waited for an hour while they looked it over.  The CSR comes out and says that they took care of the piddily thing I forgot about, but they couldn't figure out the 4wd light.

They could look into it further, but they'd charge me shop time.  So since I wasn't worried about the light, I tell the guy to not worry about it.

He tells the tech, and a few minutes later they drive my Jeep into the waiting garage, and let me go.

I get in, and the whole dash board is torn apart yet!  Not just the radio HVAC panel either, but the whole freaking thing!!

I drive out dumbfounded, go around the block to cool down, and pull back in.

I flagged the first employee I found down, and asked her if that was normal. She's like "what's normal?", so I explained that the dash was put together when I got there.

To wrap up the story, I got five or six free oil changes out of the debacle, but I never used them.  I'll be damned if I'm going back there.

Funny story, I was at the jeep dealership to let them find the problem...
I told em all I did to it... when I told em I checked the wires for sparks jumping, they stoped me and told me I don't have plug wires... they stoped using wires in 02. I told them they where wrong that I did and I'll show them... lifted the hood and the maneger said "Dude!... you have a disel... and I bet you been puting gas in it! Thats your problem!!!"

   

He called his asstant over and he said the same thing.... I was to dumbfounded to reply to it...
With in 2 mins there where 6 techs around my jeep and one of them said "I think this is a 2.5L" I said your close... its a 2.4. the all talked among them selfs for a little bit. they all said this is the first 2.4L they ever saw and they work on around 60-70 jeeps a day.  
The Thing that tottly blows me away is that it says right on top of the engin 2.4L power tech!
I'm a little woryed to go back there again.


<Sigh>

<edit> I have a bunch more, but i'm still WAY to upset to talk about it now.... I was riped off sevral hundred dollers from one dealer and I can't do any thing about it... so I go to this other one now... Dosen't seem much better but at least my wallets fuller! :evil:
