ok, maybe its not a big wreck, but its big to me! 13 months and 12000 miles, and I didn't have a single scratch, ding or chip in the entire car!

Its never a good sign when you pick up your car from service and the service manager walks with you out to it. Its an even worse sign when he has his boss come with him.

******* from the upholstery shop they sent it out to backed into a big truck. Ruined my wheel, and scraped the bumper and fender, with a small dent in the fender. They are paying for everything, but I really didn't want to have any repainting done. At first it looked like they could do paintless dent repair on the fender and buff it out, but the silverstone is scratched off down to primer at the edge.

 

Thats too bad man, hopefully you not be able to tell after the repaint. I fear taking my car to any shop for this very reason.

Also, I dont know how they dented the wheel so bad by just "backing it up" into a truck.

 

yea ... the wheel looks pretty banged up are they going to replace it, or try to fix it?

i hope everything works out!

 

it doesn't look that bad, being that it hit a big truck. the worst thing is that it'll take forever for your replacement i-forged rim. hope everything turns out nice.

 

replace. I already told them $900 for the wheel. Thats the retail on iforged website.

Everytime I take my car in for service, I always change out the rims to my race wheels just to prevent something like this or impact wrench scratches, but this time I figured it was just the seat, no reason for them to mess with my wheels.

 

btw, what was the seat tsb about??? frayed edges??

 

yeah, frayed edges. The new material looks the same but has a coarser feel. If the paint doesn't wind up matching perfectly, I'll probably trade it on a super black track and swap my mods out.

 

the bad thing for the dealer was, me and my wife had just driven a frontier V-6 and were getting ready to go out in the supercharged version when I found out about it. I was probably gonna buy a new truck today, but this killed the mood.

 

they must of been going real fast in reverse to do that much damage. Probably not what happened

Sorry man. good luck

 

Do you mean there is a TSB on the seat ? Where can I find more info on this TSB ?

 

that sucks big time man, but hopefully theyll paint it nice so you cant even tell, sounds like their taking care of the situation atleast.

hopefully Iforged can get you a new one without too much delay...

 

holy crap....i would have ripped them 2 new holes!!!

sorry to here that sammy, that iforged is gonna be a while to get.

 

where can we find out more about that TSB on the seats cuz mine are starting to fray already..only 1500 miles

 

I would agree, they're lying to you. AND, I wouldn't accept it until you get it on an alignment machine. This car has aluminium suspension parts. If they bent the rim that bad then I'd be willing to bet some serious change that the suspension is damaged a little. Hate to see you take that now and then 6 months down the road find out you need another $1500 dollars of replacement parts...

Good luck.

 

thanks for the alignment tip, hadn't even thought about that.

 

if they dont get the paint right, make them do it over until they do so. no reason you have to take a few thousand dollar hit from trading the car in. unless you just want a new car anyway. sorry that happened.

 

yeah anyone have this TSB?

 

do a search for Seat and fraying and you will find it. It was discussed a few months ago...

 

usually you can click on the resource button on top and all of them are listed, this one has been omitted for some reason. Maybe the list just isn't up to date.

 

wouldnt be too worried about your suspension, the Zs suspension is tough. after I took mine on the little offroading trip it shows no signs of any lingering affects, and it was far worse than that.

might not hurt anyway to have it done, but be careful they dont screw up your other rims with the equipment it takes.
