When they refinished your wheel, how did it turn out? I had to have one of mine refinished because someone at Discount Tire screwed one of mine up when I had a nail in my tire far from home. The job was OK, but if you look it is somewhat obvious the color is not quite the same as the other 3 now. I have been trying to decide if I should have it done again or if this is just the best that can be done.

A lawsuit seems more effective. I doubt complaining to the dealer will have any outcome considering that I've had the car for 32 months (16K).

I will complain when I visit the dealer for sure. But if a lot of people have the same problem with the stocks then we might have to do something more serious!

I already had to pay ~$200 out of own pocket to replace the battery and that's after more than 10 calls to roadside assistance and 3 visits to the dealer!! This is ridiculous!

I haven't had it done yet - I was just there for an oil change but wanted to point out this flaw while they were trying to "woo me" into their service plan. This particular dealer only has a "wheel guy" on Wednesdays so they asked me to schedule an appointment for that day. I will post the results when I get it done though. (yeah, I use quotes too much)
