When I look up something in
PARTS...
and find them in
bunches... Lots... New and IMPROVED...
I know (in my heart)...
the
OEM (original equipment was pure trash... (garbage))...
In my opinion you are lucky to be alive.
I would simply advise you try another dealer...
and then start
ESCALATING...
Let your fingers do the walking...
START PHONING AROUND... Take good notes...
These
junior executives have to feel important too...
and
they cannot FIX what they do not know about.
If you are up to a genuine CRUSADE ...
Then try using the CUSTOMER ADVOCATE services
of your local broadcast NEWS STATIONS...
I think they like to tally
community service points
(I'm sure there even a GREAT story behind all that)...
ELSE...
BUREAU of Auto Repairs, small claims...
(heck... the Supreme Court (if you have the time & $$$)).
