Hi guys, I got an '06 EVO IX that recently needed the airbags serviced due to recall. I'm sure many of you got that too.
Well last week, I brought it to the dealership to get it done, but later that night as I was driving, I noticed the left half of my speedometer, as well as the mileage display was not even lit (can't tell by the picture). I thought it was caused by the technician who removed my dashboard to replace the airbags.
I scheduled an appointment earlier today and went in to have them fix it. 30 Minutes later, one of the service guys comes to me and says, and I'm paraphrasing, "one of the lights apparently burnt out, but it had nothing to do with us, we never touched it when we serviced the air bags. You're gonna have to order another, which we dont have, for 8 bucks, then cost you another 70 bucks to install it."
It was at that point that I was pissed, and told him how he can tell me that it magically burnt out right after my car got serviced, but that it was perfectly fine the night before. And the light happen to be located in the same area where the speedometer is. If it was the technician's fault, then I wasted time going there, and he didn't even offer to service it for free for my trouble.
But since I'm not familiar with the wiring inside there, I'd like to ask you guys, is this guy blowing smokes up my ass and not admit it was his technician's fault, or could it actually happen? I was planning to give the manager a call, but wanted to make sure I didn't overact.
Thanks.
