Transportation: Today, I took my car to dealer because of the loud knocking sound...

Today, I took my car to dealer because of the loud knocking sound I heard while driving it. Twenty-four hours later, they told me it was fixed. Fifteen minutes after I drove away, the tire flew off my car while I was on the highway. My car is now totaled. FML

Today, I finally bought a car, after saving up for a year. My dealer had told me it was a good buy, so I snapped it up then and there. On the way home, the rear axle practically fell out of the car due to frame rot. My dealer wants to buy the car back at half the price. FML

Today, I got a rental car because my car needed new tires and I had a long drive ahead of me. Today, the rental car got a flat tire. FML

Today, I took my car into the shop to get a minor problem fixed. I left several hours later, without my car. Why? The mechanic crashed it while out on a test drive to make sure he'd fixed the problem. FML

Today, I dropped my car off at the dealership for a bumper replacement due to a hit and run in a parking lot. After being told it was ready, their shuttle picked me up, and backed up into my just-replaced bumper. FML

Today, I finally got my car back after it was in the auto shop for a week. On my way home, I started swerving all over the road. It turns out they didn't tighten the lug nuts on one of my wheels properly. FML

Today, after getting my car completely fixed after it being damaged for a year, I was driving and the entire side panel on the car fell off. The repair man forgot to put the screws back in. FML

Today, I bought a car that literally caught fire seconds after I started the engine. The dealership then fobbed me off, saying I'd driven it off their forecourt (by about 3 yards), so it was entirely my problem, but they still expect my monthly payments to be on time. FML

Today, accustomed to dealing with my old car's faulty accelerator, I pressed the pedal way too hard in my new car and crashed into a pillar, totaling the engine, and giving myself a concussion. I could still see the dealership down the street. FML

Today, I took my SUV in to get the oil changed, and the tires rotated. They allowed me to stay there, because they said it would only take 30 minutes. So I sit there in the waiting room, and I look through the window only to see my SUV falling off the lift, from 6 feet in the air. FML

They should reimburse you because they said it's fine, someone didn't do their job properly and they could've killed you.

It's more than just reimbursing. It's a full on law suit prob in the 100k range or more

Reimbursement wouldn't be enough. Not only was it not fixed but the car is totalled and could of potentially killed him. I don't think his life and car is only worth a couple of hundred dollars.

I'm sure they meant reimburse for the entire car, not reimburse just what they "fixed".

Do you happen to live in Ontario? Because this /exact/ same thing happened on a highway about 2 weeks ago which was recorded on someone's phone and put on the news.

"Don't worry about it OP, it could've been worse." fuuuuck.... These types of comments really piss me off. Acknowledge that a person had a shitty experience FFS. Sure, if we think hard enough we can always come up with situation making this one worse. THIS ONE WAS BAD ENOUGH.
