Well ill toss you a +rep also to make up for the negative.
As for what they are wanting to do... well i guess there is a bright side to it, at least you have a brand new crank sensor that shouldnt go bad for a while (not that I am saying that is the problem with the current sensor). I am sorry to hear what happened to your car, but I can see where the dealership would not have the parts to fix it. I asked about several possible parts for my car when I purchased it and they had none of them in stock. Maybe I have a crappy dealer, but I suspect that this is more common than not.
To me, time is the big thing they are taking away from you. Nice that they pay for the hotel (up to a point), but how do you get this time back? I guess that, more than anything else, would be what I would be mad about.
Did they offer to allow you to borrow a car from their lot while they do the repairs? I know this was mid-trip but maybe it would give you more options or at lease some mobility while stuck in town? My salesman told me that he personally would allow me to take a car off of the lot if I had problems with my car, however I would have to talk to him and schedule it in advance. Not sure this dealership you are at would allow something like that?

so i'm moving from alberta to NFLD, my car ******* dies in tunder bay ont, my car could push extreme boost, i can max out the boost gauge. makes a hissing sound, and has loss of power, so the dealer here says "the cel was a crank sensor, were gonna replace that tomorrow" and i'm like... uhh sounds like a clogged cat... they told me they couldnt check it.... so i call another dealer, and they say "if it is the cat its gonna take a week to get it, cuz it gotta come from the USA" ...... i was furious, i called gm canada and the bitch i was talkin to pretty much told me tuff titty, and they wont do anythin else untill they install the crank sensor..... HOW THE **** WOULD THE CRANK SENSOR CAUSE ALL THIS. EXP THE NOISE I'M HEARING! im so pissed its not even funny, gm will only pay up to 500$ for me to stay in hotels while my car is getting fixed.... so if i do have to wait a week, i'm gonna blow a gasket... cuz it'll be costing a me money.... god damn **** gm, **** em all..... i'm done with GM, for ever...... mother ******* **** sucking basterds
anyway heres the pic of it
as you can see from the pics... the stock setup BLOWS!
me too... modding dosent make cars break. uneducated modding makes cars break. along with auto abuse

Relax my man, do not get too angry. Luckily I have not encountered any engine problems yet (except for my injen intake, it whistles at vacuum throttle...im guessing a hole) but just in due time. Quick question though, why would you need to stay in a hotel while your car gets fixed?
And another question, I never understood this rep stuff, how do you see how much positive and negative you have?

rep is shown in the control panel. click user control panel... then look for the words next to little red and green dots... thats your rep, and how you got it.
the little thing next to you name in posts... ( kinda looks like a snowflake to me, but it's like a scale... thats how you give people rep.

I wonder if your intake manifold gasket is on its way out. Has the dipstick popped out at all.?

There is a simple solution to all of this, go to a muffler shop that is will just put a pipe threw your cat and run cat-less.... More power, Boost and economy...Sounds better too.. Plus no more drama. And before anyone complains about the o-zone, our cars are not the issue, the damn semi's and buses and all that crap is the issue.

[QUOTE=R&C_rallySS;1122199]Your all upset about GM but yet you broke the rules with your mods for the warnity. Does not make much sense to me man. If you had all GMP then I Can see you being pissed off. You can't just get everything handed to you on a silver platter. If you expect them to pay for your hotel stays and everything your crazy. Never the less good luck with everything man.
his car is over boosting... I wish my car did that with just plugs and a intake

Good luck Saunders. I know things are hard for you. But don't go out and get a civic, stick it out with the ss/sc. And +rep to add to those who took it off.
