I took my car in Monday to get it's 20K maintenance done albeit early @ 18,500mi. I need to get ready for my cross country trip so all is well, or so I thought. The morning after our SoCal cruise I found a puddle of oil under the diff and oil all over my tail pipes. I had my diff resealed by Ford not to long ago so I add this to the workorder figuring it wouldn't take long since it was done same day last time..... I was wrong!
They called me later Monday afternoon telling me it'll take another day since they have to drop the entire IRS to accomplish the job :shrug: I don't stress since I want it done right and I've never dealt with this particular dealership before.
Tues afternoon I stop by to check on their progress and... they don't have a lot of techs so they say stop by late wed afternoon. I ask if they've found anything so far and they say yes. THey said whoever sealed my leak last time did so by just by smearing silicone on the outside of the diff trying to cover the real cause of the leak.
:gt: They said the oil level didn't drop to a point that real damage should have occured to the gears but the inspection will proceed tomorrow.
So I have a non-SVT dealership telling me that a SVT dealer intentionally did false labor to my car. I rechecked the invoice from the previous work and they documented inpecting my gears, replacing the gasket, sealant etc... a now apparant fraud. So back to the title, what to do now...
