So the car is still at the shop....Terrible situation !!!!

someone did a number on this car. The current shop changed the computer, but something was wrong....the car had a backfire, so upon inspection, they found the timing to be 2 teeth off! so they corrected the problem, and went ahead on adjusting engine and transmission shift points...

My friend was supposed to pick up the car today, the mechanic was still fine tuning yesterday. this morning, the tech took it for a final test drive, and one of the fly-wheel bolts came loose and did a number of the crank position sensor, and starter....etc......?!?

I guess the dealer who worked on the transmission previously did not torque the bolts correctly, and with the increased torque after engine repair, one of the bolts came loose....


this is a nightmare !
