Maintenance/Repairs

On March 1, 2013 I brought my car into the dealer for a Factory Recall (Install Trans Shift Cable Kit). At the time, I mentioned that something seemed to be leaking out of the car because there were stains in driver way. They found that the timing seal was leaking and replaced the seal, balancer and bolt at NC “per DOC 2574535”. I think that might have been under the Power-Train Warranty which is now expired.

Last week, I noticed similar stains in driverway and brought car over to Firestone…since they had just changed oil 2 weeks ago. They got the car up on the lift and called me into the garage to show me two areas under the car that were damp. They said it looked as if a seal was leaking. I showed them the Invoice from dealer least year and they said "bring the car back to the dealer…this looks like the same thing…their work should be warrantied for a year.

I have a call into dealer now. Im very concerned now that the Power-Train Warranty has expired that they will not stand behind their work or that I will eb told the leak is coming from somewhere else. Has anyone had this problem?? I know this can be an expensive job. Thank you!
