It's just the start for you my friend. I hope your experience is better than mine. Unbelievable the uselessness of these fops at the stealership. Every thing is 'talk to the manager' beyond basic secretarial activities. Fat women saying "I looked up the vin" and put 5w-20 in my turbo car "it's...

any interest in hearing more about the debacle of the stealership?

I've been tracking this problem since 2012. I don't have all of what I've read since then bookmarked or memorized. But here's evidence of at least 2 million engines. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/hyundai-kia-engine-failure-info-from-a-tech.306814/ I came across the 17% number many...

17% engine failure in warranty period. Any other manufacturer looking at that failure rate?

Listen to the knock sensor is what they did a few years ago when they gave me the orange dipstick and said cheerily, " you passed "!

30 yrs... wow. Looks like I'm gonna end up with a maytag r8he for around $5800 installed. It's "on sale" and the other two quotes were $7800 and $11k for Goodman and tempstar. So based purely on what cash I have available I went with the cheapest. AMG payment is $500 a month, so I don't have...

It's a straight swap from existing, like for like. If I still had a tractor with forks I'd do it my self. But I have no means to move a 500 lb unit from "liftgate service" to gaspack location. And I'm getting quotes that equal the equipment cost for labor... like vague 8 to 10k$

I had a heat pump in Charlotte NC, won't have one again, they are useless, imho, below freezing. Well, I have used high Performance air filters for 20 years, it only showed itself this heating season.

Well, my 20 year old American standard gas pack has developed cracks on the natural gas burners heat exchanger. So, i need a 3ton ac ~65,000 btu heat (or thereabouts) replacement. What experienced recommendations brand and model (no heat pumps) do y'all have?

Unfortunately you said pails were the best deal because of the shipping deal in your original message. Can you change that?

When does the $25 next day air show up? Can't see the option...

From what I can tell, there is some evidence that they are replacing whole engines from either new old stock, or remanufactured. The settlement only mentioned short block but there is obviously a break even point where swapping engines is faster in the stealership bays and rebuilding engines in...

Korea had more fatalities, here is a link with some, Google is your friend, I don't mind spoon feeding... https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/local-news/up-in-flames/kias-and-hyundais-continue-to-burn-after-5-8-million-cars-and-suvs-recalled

People were dying from fires and wrecks with the theta 2, not as many as pintos or suv rollovers. Sure, I'm glad things are moving in the right direction, but at every step there is ambiguity and not quite right administration of the settlement agreement. I was supposed to get a turbo sonata...

You do realize, nick, that they still won't acknowledge any wrong doing after settling out of court after a class action lawsuit and a nhtsb finding. This has been going on for a decade. They all blow up. It's just a matter of when. The Korean fbi even raided their offices over this.

I'm close to 3 stealerships. One said no plans to accept new engine replacement as they had no scheduled engines to replace [one i bought it from] they pushed a not necessary brake job on a warranty visit. Other said maybe sometime in February. No experience there. Worst one is where hma said...

And killed 14 people before they started to do anything about it. Not as bad as the Ford pinto fires or rollovers from suv but we all knew the engines were and are ticking time bombs.
