And YOU think YOU'VE had a bad dealer experience?!?!
From what I was told, to perform this recall on his 2003 350Z, the rear suspension and fuel tank needed to be removed. Well, when they put his car on the lift to perform this service I guess they didn't take into account the laws of physics and well... GRAVITY!

So, after the rear wheels, rear suspension and fuel tank were removed, it became a bit FRONT HEAVY and THIS is the end result

Ouch.

A few months ago my friends Pathfinder fell off the lift at some oil change place, smashed up the right side pretty good.

You might want to post the link. I've seen this on another forum and apparently, the dealership bought the car back.

OMG...I'd demand a replacement '06 for sure. Holy crap. Never heard of that happening before.

I am surprised some of you have never heard of this. It actually happens ALL the time. I have seen these same horror stories from about every kind of car you can imagine. Vette, Ferrari, Porsche, BMW, Benz, etc.... It is really quit common.... (Sad but true)

correct, they actually were trying to lift the car at an angle, to shake out the loose change. Anyone remeber the nightmare of a coin holder we had in our '01 CL's?
