the saga continues

[splatspeed]

the car went back in again

the door seals were shot and i had a pond in the footwell

think they might have managed to fix this not bad for a 55 plate

steering still not their problem as they put it

seat moving apparently under breaking normal funny i thoughtwas an mot failure

and the icing on the cake the back suspension is moving at speed causing instability they are not going to check that due to the fact i didnt have the tyres fitted by them

i kid you not you cant make this shit up

Don't faff about any longer mate, get Trading Standads involved along with a detailed RAC report.

where are you taking it to?

[ringram]

Yeah talk to Greens they will do warranty work I think. Plus I think they are on a 100% satisfaction rate so far.

[stigcv8]

yes speak to greens.

After the reports on here and the off board replies from their main man it seems almost guaranteed you wont be left upset

[AM04ARO]

or Picadors.

Surprised that a dealer cannot sort something basic.

[gareth h]

Picador have a car in for a new door membrane at the moment to rectify water ingress, and are doing mine on warranty after xmas, could be worth giving them a call if they're reasonabley local.

[splatspeed]

benno i am not allowed to say

but it wasn't greens

i have only heard good things about greens

this is going on far too long and vauxhall never get back in touch so i cant sort the problem with them

but the garage have seen this post and are pissed

they know who they are if they want to shame themselves they can go ahead

i am bound by the rules of the forum

however when the delivery guy dropped it back home minus the obligitory 1/2 tank of fuel AGAIN he commented i wont go in a straight line and how bad it was

still the door seal is replaced

so hopefully when it does pull me into a ditch it is hopefully water tight

[mackie1]

Have you had it on a full 3d geometry machine (Hunter or similar) and have the print out? If so what does it say?

Mine still pulls even though everything is as it should be apart from the front camber which is a bit higher than spec. I just put in down to road camber.

AFAIK Greens can dial out the behaviour.

[splatspeed]

mackie that has been done 4 times

corrects it to an acceptable level at first then goes out again in 100 miles or less

the wife cannot drive the car at the speed limit as the car needs constant correction as the back ends seems to be very loose

something is moving

the seat locks up and moves when i break

there is something wrong underneath for the last 6 months

they are no nearer now then when i started

the car has done 17k mile 1k of which is taking to the dealership

i have had enough

i have bought the wife a 3 yo diesel van as she prefers driving that to the monaro

what does this say she is now scared to drive it it is that bad

this shows how bad the customer service is

[mackie1]

It certainly sounds much worse than mine which is almost certainly a case of "they all do that sir". As for suspension slackness, it's not something you'd expect with only 17k on the clock. If the geometry is fine then it might be worn control links or bushes, or maybe the whole subframe is moving. I'd suggest getting someone who really knows what they are talking about to have a look at it (if you haven't already).

[splatspeed]

thats what i thought was happening mackie

but they refused to look at it as i didn't have the tyres fitted there

waiting for vauxhall to e - mail me back

[splatspeed]

contacted vauxhall again last year

finally got back this year

someone is going to come out and have a look

cant give me a date

dicided to take up the local dealerships offer where i purchased the monaro 6 months ago to look into it

took out the salesman let him drive

going quite quicklly in a stright line and no acceleration or deceleration and the back stepped out for no reason what so ever. and he aggrees there is something wrong

his description is the back end is loose

i had to laugh he was so scared

[Gibo993]

I would not be driving that car, they must offer you something else in the meantime!!
Sounds crazy!! Good luck getting it sorted

[mackie1]

Something does sound very wrong and the tyres not being fitted by them excuse is pure bollox.
