Tammi's World

At this point, with problems that big I would make them take the car back and get something else, from a different dealer. This dealer doesn't sound on the up and up and most states have a 30 day take back law.

If this is a GM dealer I would contact GM CSC and report him. Sounds like he knew something was wrong with this vehicle. Most states make the dealer carry a 90 day warranty and make sure they did the 120 point inspection also. Ask to see that.

And since it's a GM (if this isn't a GM dealer) go to a GM dealer and have them run the warranty information on this vehicle (can be done with the VIN) and see what it's been in for in the past.

it's because you named her Lana. it's my fault, really. see... i wasn't around your blog for a couple of weeks, so i wasn't here for the naming. i would have vehemently protested you naming her Lana. because of Lana Lang. of Superman fame (please tell me you named her after Lana Turner and not Lana Lang). Smallville's Lana is among the most annoying characters of all time. every week i sit there saying, "Lana, why won't you just die?"

and i hope that your car didn't hear me and thing that i was directing my death wishes at her. i apologize. it's all my fault.

and i recommend duct tape for the head explosions.

Oh good grief! Make them make it right, Tammi. :-(

UPDATE: Supposedly, I have the permissions to post on this blog, but I don't. I think it's a trust issue...

Anyway, Tammi finally got off and running. Turned out it wasn't that big of a problem. Seems that 59 cents of gas just doesn't last as long as it used to. And here I was thinking the air was low in her tires.

Seriously, it was the battery being loose. I don't know if it was the cables, that were loose, or the battery itself had gotten out of its pasture. Either way, she be rolling now.

that's good to hear. Thanks for the update, T1G!

Silly Lana. Sounds more like Lana Turner than Lana Lang.....

At least it's working now.

Tammi,
Long story short... I sent you a note when you posted you were getting a used GM product. If your vehicle is still under warranty (under 36,000 miles) and you need help, I will do everything I can. I work at corporate in Detroit. I will still do everyting I can if it is not under warranty. I do not work in promotions or anyting else. I just want to make the AMERICAN product you bought right! I just read this at 0100/04. I can speed up parts that will blow you mind... I won't be checking e-mail until late tomorrow. Let me know if I can help. PS. I would need the engineering part number, they will know what that means...

Tammi,
I was going to offer you my wrecked Dodge Intrepid out in Tulsa. Sure it's missing a window on the driver's side, but you'd be sure to stay awake.

Glad you made it back on the road.

looks like Mark is like a superman type guy

Good thing you didn't get to watch the ND game that night....
