Hell, well out here in california we had the daylight savings time change sunday. I pushed the hour button and the entire module fell into the dash.

The part contains the Hazrd button too. I have an appointment for friday, for the warrenty work to fix this, they will have to r & r the whole dash.

When I say that, I mean make sure everything else is up to standards. Make sure something like this doesn't happen again.

The dealer won't waste their time go poking/switching/pressing/etc everything. It's up to the driver/owner to find these problems.

False. That only depends on the dealer.

False to your false, sir. The only kind of dealer who would actually make sure that everything is in order is a dealer who exists in one's dreams.

Make no mistake about it - as soon as a dealer sells you the car, they don't give a flying foooook as to what happens with that car afterwards. And even when you show them the problem in an obvious manner, they still try to squirm out of repairing it.

Anyway, back to the topic - I've never ever heard of this kind of problem.

Lol. Well, my dealer checked everything else when my catalytic converter had to be replaced. So maybe I just had special treatment?
