Palm Chevrolet - Service Center

I have taken my 2008 Impala SS into this dealer on 5 previous occasions. This time taking it in for the same issue, stalling while turning or accelerating. They never could find the problem and always s previous occasions. This time taking it in for the same issue, stalling while turning or accelerating. They never could find the problem and always said don't worry about it. Last week it went crazy coming back from Georgia dinging and unlocking and locking the doors, instrument panel going crazy engine intermittently cutting off. They finally found the problem. Seems that the starter was arcing against an aftermarket CAI or Cold Air Induction Kit manufacturered by a company that is dealing directly with GM on their product. Long story short I got accussed of installing an aftermarket part that sits still!!! The starter solenoid bolt jumps over and taps the box shorting out the ECM causing the intermittent stalling issue. So fix it, we can't they exclaim because I have an aftermarket air box and they wouldn't bother to pick up the phone and call GMPP the extended warranty folks to inquire about doing it under warranty. Just blame the owner and blame the box. Took it to my mechanic for a second opinion, he goes to return it to stock airbox and now the car wouldn't start. So he has to jump off the ECM to get it to start and tells me to take it back to them to fix/replace as the ECM is faulty since its not grounding, however it was with the big bad aluminum box that was in it. Took it back and the tech Ray has the nerve to stand there and say SO, what do you want me to do about it? I don't know it would be a great place to open up a Chevrolet dealer and a service department and put service back into the Service department. I wouldn't trust these crooks with changing a spark plug. I've been lied to so many times about verifiable things that they claim were wrong with the car and then taken somewhere else nothing is wrong. They don't want to do warranty work because they don't make any money, they would rather charge the customer the big bucks for it and pass the buck onto something more obvious than the root cause of the problem. I would never step foot in this dealership again!!! I've owned Chevrolets for as long as I've driven and I've never and I repeat never have had such horrible customer service and treatment than I've had in dealing with an issue that they could never find and now blame on something else entirely to shirk the responsibility of fixing the car. You know when you take it in for service and actually expect it to be serviced. Don't expect that here at Palm Chevrolet. I wouldn't trust them with a lawnmower let alone buy anything from them ever again. More
