Default Recal Backfire

I got my fuel line done a couple months ago and after a couple weeks, I noticed that the rear end was very loose. I took it back to the dealership and they of course could not find any problems. When I ask them about the recal and the rear end. They said that they never had to touch anything on the suspension, that it was just a replacement of the fuel line. So whatever. Now after researching a little about the recal, I found out that the whole rear assembly had to be drop in order to get to the fuel line.

Has anyone had problems with their suspension after the recal??????

Print out that page and bring it to them. Then ask them how they managed to repair the line without taking the steps listed.

Id love for you to introduce me to the service writer and the tech that worked on your car. Id rip both of them a new one for lying to a customer, I have people at my dealership thatll do that and it aggarvates the **** out of me when they flat out lie.

Edit: Yes they do have to drop the entire rear assembly to get to the fuel lines, I personally have not seen anyone at my dealer do it without dropping the rear assembly.

make sure that you have them repeat it two or three times, maybe even tell them you dont believe them and have them call over a buddy to back them up, then pull that out of your back pocket

I think you need to go back down to that dealer and chew him up and down, left and right.

Tmounk as you know my 350 seems to have very similar symptoms to your 350, keep on their case, it's your safety first and foremost, don't take no for an answer!! Seriously you don't want your Zed to hard out start exhibiting some of the exceptionally bad handling characteristics & shocking ride quality etc my Zed has developed over the last 9 months.

Good luck dude!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep us posted!!!
