My truck is at the dealer to have something repaired (same damn thing 3 times now) and they put me in a 2009 Cadillac DTS. Nice car but seemed to lack some "pep" compared to the other DTS I have driven...
Anyhow, this morning I leave for work LATE. I have the wife kid and baby in the car. A few blocks from my house, the car DIES. All the lights and gages lit up, service stabilitrac flashed on the display and then I coasted to a stop about 50 feet from a major intersection. WTF?? it's a 2009!
Apparently people in Ottawa are to retarded to know what flashing hazard lights mean and honk at me repetitively. I call the dealership, They refer me to Budget who refers me to a 1-800 roadside number who refers me back to budget... 1 hour later the car gets towed and I am crammed in another rental.
Now my truck is ready an hour later. Yay!
This afternoon, I get a call from the dealership, they say there is water in the gas. But better yet, they say I am responsible for it. They claim that either i got bad gas. (Possible since I gassed up just before parking the car last night) or the car was vandalized. (who would dump water in a gas tank??? there are so many other things that a vandal can do)
Anyhow, they are sticking me with the bill for a new fuel pump, dumping the bad gas and cleaning the tank etc.. About $1600.00
