So my ******* controll arm broke today due to a ****y reinstall

I had my car taken in to the dealer to replace 5th gear and some syncros because of the grinding. When they took apart the tranny that had to remove some parts of the suspension to get to it. So when they put itall back i guess they ****ing half assed it because this moring my front right controll arm broke, collapsed on my wheels {carving a huge hole across the entire center section} and messing up my front bumper and fender. So i was without my car for 7 days and i just got it back last night, {they were replacing 5th gear} and now today this happens. This is just ****ing great. Sorry i had to vent. here are some pics.
Notice how the wheel is pushed all the way back in the wheel well.

Imagine that... a dealership not doing the job right.. I'm sorry you had to have some warranty work attempted.. too often they do more damage than good. I hope they get it all taken care of and you repaid for the inconvenience and psychological scarring..

they already screwed up, too late for flawless. Have you at least called an attorney to find out what options you have?
