More troubles (Navigation Dash)...

Well I have yet another problem to report here. I have already been to the dealer twice to fix the alignment, which is still not totally taken care of. After two trips, the car still pulls left...

Well just yesterday I got in my car and the navigation surround is sinking in the middle. It seems like the cold weather caused the plastic to contract, or shrink via George Costanza.

Also, both of my middle vents are stuck closed and there is no way to move them apart from sticking a pen or something in there and move the fins manually. The little chromed adjusters do nothing but make terrible sounds when I try to move them.

Add this to the new navi/stereo head unit I have on order since I can't even pick up any FM stations here in Pittsburgh... although I'm not missing much because the stations here suck anyhow... but it would be nice to be able to listen to them if I wanted. Looks like I will be needing a new stereo surround as well.

Biondi in Monroeville. Buying the car went well, but getting service is another story.

Did you pull apart the dash at all? or maybe the dealer did when they were checking out something? It sounds like the vents are off track. I ran into this problem with my last car after pulling out the dash to fix something.

I got mine at Baierl (up north in Wexford), same story different location. Buying went well, service another story. You'd think for as much as they charge for something as an oil change and tire rotation they'd at least tell you the tread wear of the tires and the type of oil they put in. Apparently that's classified information...
