getting screwed on my warranty!!!!
well noticed my tc was shifting into gear a little tougher than before. and i final;ly took it in to a scion dealer and told them i thought it was my synchros. they confirmed this. but for some reason they couldnt fix it. they had me wait 10 days till some regional service guy came in to take a look at it. and he said they werent going to touch it cause they claim i was racing. 1st of all, i dont race, or shift hard. has anyone else had this problem yet? by the way, i have 10k on my car. i got it jan 27 of 04. i took it in 2 weeks ago. what should i do?

Yeah dont try to cheat the dealer b/c u messed something up on your car w/ mods and expect the dealer to cover for it. Did u take off your mods before you went to the dealer? if not i really wouldn't count on any dealer accepting your car under warrantee.

if you werent talking hard at the dealer then they have no case. Explain to them that you did no such thing and there are faults in their product line. You paid for a product that you did not get. Simple as that.

if the guy has all those mods that he says he has there is no dealer that will help him out. the gears and clutch in the tc aren't really that great to begin with. so just imagine how much abuse he has put into it w/ a turbo.

they even offered to install any aftermarket performance products for my car.
more and more car companies are doing that. Mainly because they know most bolt on aftermarket parts dont really do any damage to the car. Except maybe running lean. They're just looking for the quick buck.

i hope taht turbo stuff was a direct bolt-on/bolt-OFF
if so, then jus swap everything out, go to a different dealer.
if not. scion corp...
if that doesnt work.. consult a lawyer?
if that doesnt work... warranty is over rated? go buy a new tranny?

yeah that really helps scion with their push for the aftermarket "customizing" of the cars when they refuse the warranty? sounds like what subaru did to the wrx.. when the transmissions were faulty, blame the drivers.. if this is how scion is going to treat its customers, doesn't look like they'll have many for long..
it's a fact that the manual transmissions have had problems, people have already been complaining and getting the transmissions replaced because of faulty synchros.. if we all have to get lawyers to make the warranty enforceable then how is this going to sit for scion.. not well.. no one will buy the car..
hey scion are YOU listening? your dealer is screwing over more of YOUR customers.. what are YOU going to do about it? Let it keep happening and then you don't have any customers.. NOT A WISE business decision..
