I would say that if there were issues or campaigns or other things to sort out with the vehicle, that IA would advise us promptly of such issues before they become worse so that timely repair can be achieved. Otherwise, they are non-issues and can be dealt with anytime outside of servicing which then allows us to use independents and save money as is our right.
I believe these campaigns (mandatory work orders / service bulletins) are the ones you can find under 'resources' on here. I would want IA notifying me of any, then I choose the significance or atleast look myself, could save alot of money or time before heading on a big trip. Eg the double nut now needed on steering arm or Still checking transfer case serial numbers. My agent said they can not release the bulletins/orders to me. They could name them over the phone though (naming may not be enough to check myself). IA isn't sending them out either. So if you are servicing elsewhere you won't hear about them.... Except through here I guess. I love this forum!
Imagine breaking down 1000kms from yonder because IA 'didn't' want to send these notices out... or a crash caused by lack thereof.
Imagine the sky falling! A plane might drop out of the sky. Does that even happen?
Imagine dying because of 'turbulence'. Maybe that is too soon but shit happens and when it does...Imagine the sky falling! A plane might drop out of the sky. Does that even happen?
Sitting here in Dublin airport lounge, worrying terribly
Software update too? Could they also clear service log thing
Update will be done at dealer if required along with a few other repairs/fixes.
Good pick up by your tech if that is the case... best to know raise that with IA and see what they can do about it... but it looks like you started the process and keep pushing it hard mate.
Bit of a pain, I'm leaving to go on a multi-1000KM remote trip tomorrow, have let Ineos know my concerns regarding reliability/safety but not getting much back from them. And no one at the agent/dealer seems to want to talk to me, been getting told to call back later each time I call all week... Not a good look for the brand in AUS...
Where are you located?
He is in SA.
Car 'workshops' are just as bad as tradies now - ripping people off and people are happy to keep paying for the service. I see some shows here in SEQLD throwing out $150/hr charge for a mechanic... hahaha. I bet that mechanic is getting $46/hr!!!
All manufacturers have "silent" recalls that are done by their dealers
There would not be many Aussie mechanics getting $46 hr working for some one. $150hr would nearly be the average in capital cities. There are shops pushing $180hr+. Mechanics generally the lowest paid of the trades with some of the highest overheads and pressure from employers, constant technical changes and especially pressure from customers that know every thing and really know nothing and are more abusive and entitled now. Mechanics are expected to have a high cost investment in tools and keep investing in tools worth more then tool allowances and for some, pay for skills upgrades with minimal pay increases for the extra skills all to make some one else's business succeed. It is not a good trade to be in these days and many highly skilled mechanics are leaving never to return. They literally can go and do many less skilled lower stressed jobs for the same wages and the employer supplies all the equipment.
Correct.
