I'm not a mechanic, I'm a nurse, so my mechanic knowledge is limited. The service guy said that after it was installed, they tried to start it and it "locked up?" I think he said something about the pins or something? Sorry I can't describe it better. No word on "Stella" today. I'll try to get a better understanding of what happened when they call me again so I can tell you more.
Oh, the HHR, they gave me first was what I was complaining about. It's a 2008, with 140,000 miles on it. The recall repair had not been done on it and no one in the dealership likes to drive it. I have no complaints about the new loaner they gave me, it's new and beautiful.

You were right! Donbrew!
That's what I meant. It wasn't broken, they tried to make good on a potential problem, something went wrong. You get a free loaner and complain about the WINDOW SWITCHES and COLOR. We call that nit-picking in Virginia.
What does "locked up" mean? Could they have just put the old parts back? I don't understand how the part could be that broken from the factory (I am thinking installer error).
And now you want to worry about a totally unrelated part from a completely different factory. Maybe "number 31" works QC at every factory in the world. (that's an old garment factory joke, remember the number 31 tag in the pocket?)

According to Chevy, the mechanic "broke a piece off my part" , so that is why 9 days later I am still without my car. My new part is suppose to arrive some time this week. I appreciate your input. Thanks again. Of course Burritts have yet to admit the fact to me.
