Can I trash my dealer here?
AUTOBARN MAZDA IN EVANSTON ILLINOIS SUCKS SYPHILITIC SHEEP!
There, I said it.
Those ***-wipes told me today for the THIRD TIME that my creaking driver's seat is "Vehicle is performing as designed".
DESIGNED AS WHAT? A BLOODY COFFIN LID? HUH?
I really hate those people.
I need your help. This isn't a lemon law issue as it doesn't affect the driveability of the car. But it is a serious customer satisfaction issue and I am ravingly pissed off and want some neck.
How do I go about this besides ROUNDLY TRASHING AUTOBARN MAZDA IN EVANSTON IL AND THEIR LYING PACK OF A-HOLES IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT.
Whew! I feel better now. Now I don't have to kick the dog.
LOL

:writes in notebook "SUCKS SYPHILITIC SHEEP", closes notebook:
Thanks
You know you are not obligated to go to that dealer. They are faux-stupid, self-serving, stealership profit hounds out for your money. Go find a better dealer. And write a letter to MNAO.

Calm down. Keep things in perspective. Many many years from now, at the end of your life, you won't even remember this. As you lay in bed, reflecting on your life, you will peacefully pass from this world untroubled by this minor matter. Your friends and family will come to your funeral and comment on how serene and content you look, lying there in your casket. Some will perhaps comment on the oddly shaped cushioned black leather casket cover with the silver rotary insignia and the seat-adjust controls on it.
So yes, your seat is designed to be a ****** coffin lid.

Geeze, I can't believe I made that grammatical error though!

And if venting were discouraged, the post count on this forum would be cut in half. So have at them; show them no quarter; take no prisoners...

Absolutely! By all means, please trash away. Hopefully the forum modersators/hosts/owners don't mind, but I consider the biggest benefit of this forum to be the execution of good-ol' capitalistic market-forces (otherwise known as extortion).
Whenever I seek service I casually let it be known that I'm 'one of those darn forum people' (as one dealer phrased it) so they understand I can share my experiences with 21,000 other RX-8 owners as fast as I can log onto the internet.
Follow-through is the key. Tell your story and tell it loud, but I would say mention the name of the service manager there too. My experience is that a new service manager can completely turn around a service department.

I've the same problem with the daily driver ('98 CR-V) where both front seats creak like it is going out of fasion. Just last summer I've realized that I couldn't escape from the creaking seat syndrome with the RX-8 either. Putting a man on Mars is little more important to humankind than solving the extraordinary complex problem of creaking seats in cars.

Ya I had that problem too. The creaking sound is VERY annoying. It wasnt like a small creak no big deal. It felt like I was driving some shitty '86 escort or something. Northtowne Mazda in KC, MO said they fixed it, however that was a total lie. They didnt even bother to try. I took it to Independence Mazda and they spent over 2 hours successfully diagnosing and fixing the problem, now creak free. All in the dealer I guess.
