Go in to the dealership to get some tires replaced

[Doggiedog]

All on a 3 month old car.

At least they gave me a brand new loaner with only 4 miles on it. I've put 150 on it so far and still have it until Tuesday.

Why does a 3 month old car need tires? Why does a 3 month old car need injectors? Better yet, what kind of car needs these things?

 

[SandEagle]

did you have to pay for the injector work?
do you drive a chrysler?

 

[DeviousTrap]

I think I remember the OP buying a 335. They're doing injectors but there's nothing wrong with your HPFP?

I thought Yugo went out of business.

That seems very shady on a 3 month old car...

Surely any injector work etc. should be done under warranty as well.

I messed up both of my driver's side tires hitting a pothole. Fortunately, I bought rim and tire insurance so the dealer is replacing them free of charge. My radio refuses to turn on once in a while so I'm having them replace it and while I was there, I wanted them to look at my rough idle which dips every so often. Apparently, there is something wrong with the fuel injectors so they are replacing them under warranty.

DeviousTrap, I haven't had any long cranks, only the weird idle so hopefully the HPFP is ok.

It is unacceptable that a new car has so many issues but what can you do? There are more important things to be upset over. Hopefully, things will turn out ok.

My Versa threw an engine light at 500 miles, had to have the o2 sensor and cat replaced. :/

At least you aren't out any money and they gave you a loaner.

I never heard of the area in bold!

Yup.

They seem to offer them for BMWs. I took it because a lot of other people on the BMW forums recommended it. Cost me $750 for 5 years. No deductible. I also got dent repair insurance too. $500 for 5 years as well. Already got a dent a month ago :|

Wow! It was the HPFP. I didn't think it would happen to an LCI E90 but I guess they still haven't figured out how to get them to work right.

I have to give props to the dealership though. They were great and a pleasure to deal with.

It just saved me $950 so I am already ahead after 3 months.

3 months and radio issues and rough idle already? I'd expect more from a used Kia to be honest!

That's what I was saying. How many Kias have you heard of where the radio doesn't work. My stereo wouldn't even turn on. I bought the upgraded stereo and there is supposedly a software glitch with it. I'm not the only one with this problem.

It's a BMW so it's ok, you get a bad car sometimes but if it was American people would say I told you so.

Its a European car. They are nice to drive but as soon as the warranty runs out... RUN!!!

BMW has awesome bumper to bumper for a while, perhaps it's so that they don't piss off all their new buyers. But yeah, I'd not want to own one used.

I was going to get another Infiniti (had a G35 sedan) but I could not find one with a stick. BMW had a great financing program (0.9%) and sold their cars right above invoice so I bought the car. The fact that it's a turbo and a BMW along with the problems I have had already makes me wonder if I made a good decision.

Whenever I am driving it, I feel like I did though
