Thanks for the feedback. I am now without a vehicle because they won't give
me a loaner. The extended warranty people okayed a rental, but only $25 a
day. The dealership wants $30 a day, and me to pay the extra $5 a day. My
$50 deductible is now up $200 for repairs, which I don't have. :-(

I don't know how they sleep at night, knowing they are taking advantage of
people.
