Less than 500 miles

Well, after bringing my brand new matrix home with 31 miles on it, I noticed like a scratch on the passenger side rotor. I thought "oh well it's been parked a little while, should go away in a few days." Well it hasn't. I've been working on my Chevy suburban the last 2 weekends. An A/c hose busted on it, so I replaced it. It was a major pain in the a**, but now i have cold a/c in it again. Anyway, I was admiring my brand new Matrix and I noticed what looked like dripping oil from the passenger side fenderwells. Front and back. What the hell is this. It's not alot of oil but it's oil or something similiar just the same. To the shop it goes tomorrow to be checked. Brand new car and problems allready. I don't think this is related to the rotor problem but who knows. I looked at it but i couldn't see anything. I spent enough of my time working on the suburban. It's out of warranty. The matrix isn't. I don't see any oil at all on the tires at all. It must be coming out when we turn the wheel are something. So much for problem free.

Dealing with dealers suck. We go to the dealer today and the guy won't even look at the car. He says we have to have an appointment. Okay, brake fluid or steering fluid got there from somewhere. Is it safe to drive or what? Next we tell him about the brake rotor and requested it be replaced. We don't do that he says, maybe it just needs to be turned. Like we want a turned rotor on a brand new car. What a rotor is the most expensive part on a car now days? I think i bought one for my 94 toyota pickup for like $20.00. Makes me wonder what would happen if something expensive broke. Life for say a rod broke on the engine, would you want them to just replace the rod on your brand new car. Well, it goes back tomorrow. If they don't fix it right, I'm going to raise some hell. Why do they have to be such a pain in the a**? Hell, wouldn't Toyota pay for the rotor? It's a defect in material for crying out loud.
