Power Surge Sal I agree with some of your answers to the problem BUT, Johns car doesn't have 500 miles on it for the first service. After working in the car dealerships for 28+ years, new cars and well a car or truck I repair, ALL require a roadtest which I am not payed for when I repair a car for piece work. Average test between 5 -10 miles depending on the problem it came in for. As far as the Shelby name, they have the right to choose the dealers they want who will sell and assembly there cars. Here we are again with maybe a friday afternoon car or Monday morning car that was put together with a guy That could have been drunk or had a bad weekend, Comes in on Monday and drops the ball. I have seen guys fired for this. It's a safety issue. Most of the people that pay this car like yourself are White collar people that make well over 100K a year and may or maynot know anything about your car except where the gas goes in and when to change the
oil. You may be able to build a car from scratch. In Johns case, he is not. Car has been in for more than 1 problem and been fixed more than once. If this guy beat the CRAP out of this car, I wouldn't even be writing this. Personally I don't like the CSI at all. This is a different problem I had and will not get into. People are buying a SPECIAL CAR and paying more for it because of the CSX# and who's company built it. I have been to other manufacture companies and they have assembly sheets on each windshield or body for assembly. This is to prevent this kind of problems with loose parts on the chassic. You finish you sign off. Some companies have a checker that checks the work. I guess where John's car was built this doesn't happen. John was not hurt with this car and there is no real damage but 2 or 3 times back for problems that he had NOTHING to do with..... I wonder how easy you would be if this happened to you? Me I would be on a plane and PI$$ed. The money tree in my back yard is long gone. Not even the roots are left.
. Sorry, Shelbys name is on the car and that is who I would hold accountable for these problems. It's there dealerships. Maybe they need to do a little inspection of the Dealers and find out who is doing a great job and who is dropping the ball. Customers are the best info and company can listen to, to find out these things. As far as the splindle assemblys, they need some help. I looked at the original chassic book and the pictures of John's car look nothing like the OEM ones. Are yours the same as John's??? I hope not. We just have 2 different point of this problem and views. I did think that only the bodies and frames where built in South Africa? I have not kept up on where and who with them.
Have a good evening Sal, going out for a drive??
