Hey all,
have a Bravo Tjet 150 which I had to drop into the garage because of a rocking in the steering and loss power. Originally the dealer told me I needed a new set of brake discs and pads which would cost €460. I took the car back and brought it to two independant mechanics who told me there was nothing wrong with my brakes but that the drive shaft was gone ie loose and leaking everywhere. Brought it back to the dealer and demanded to know why they wanted to charge me nearly €500 for something that wasnt wrong, to which they had no answer. Then I told them about the drive shaft and they said I had been doing rolling burnouts from the lights and that it would not be covered under warranty because it was my own fault. Now i am not a slow driver but I do a lot of motorway and long journey driving so I dont see how this could happen considering I have never even attempted a rolling burnout in a car. I have told the garage that I will not be taking the car back until it has been repaired at no cost to me. Otherwise I will be looking for a replacement or a refund. Any thoughts?
P.s. Looks like Fiat will screw you given the opportunity!
