ROFLMAO .... thanks for the comic relief!! Just got back from the dealer. Took the 'other' service mgr on a test drive. He heard it and twisted. Asked me what I thought it was, just out of curiosity. I told him, "Either the drive shaft or rear axle, especially with the additional intermittent whine I hear thrown in." He nodded his head and said, "Yep, that's what I'm thinking exactly." We went back to talk to the first service mgr .. he insisted it has to be the rotor/pads since the problem went away for 12 days after the rotor work. The service manager today said, no, he's pretty sure it's the rear axle or drive shaft. Then, in the same breath, he said, "Maybe it's the calipers hitting the drum brakes." I said, "OG, what???? This has disc brakes not drums!" I had hoped he was only joking, but he wasn't.
They'll have it for the week. In the meanwhile, if the replacement parts (two vent boxes plus strip along the wipers) don't come in this week .. I'll have to bring the H3 back in AGAIN after I pick it up next Monday. That's when they'll repaint the hood and boxes.
BTW, they said they had a Jeep for me. When I got there, they actually had a Durango
. Turned it down and got a Cadi SRX instead. Hoping they'll get an Escalade in today or tomorrow morning.
ALSO ... when I told him I need my jack replaced due to recall he said not all will be replaced. They have to look at it. I told him I received a letter and mine was pre-August build. He said it didn't matter .. not all are replaced. Go figure. They also have to order my left roof rail.
So, do you think I'll have are built rig once all is said and done? Who else has everything getting replaced?
