Default mr. dodge dealer

first of all hello to all charger owners.ok i bought 1342 go mango dec. of 2005. get this payed 30500 out the door. i guess when i drove 73 440 se in . they new i wasnt going to pay alot. i was there 3.5 hous and deal was done . no i did not trade in 73 se. not when i spent 10 years restoring her.
car like a model .my be 150 miles in ten years.
ok lets get to to point. first the paint has stuff in it .found three spots on body and the jams are filled with it, also stearing seems shaky when hitting bumps. so i took her in. i hate when other people work on my cars,but its under warrenty. first the stearing wheel slightly to right when driving but car pulled to left hard. took to dealer he did tire rotation and said it would help. not. took it back and told dealer still pulling so he said leave it over night that they do a alighnment on it. they call me at 1130 and said couldn't get on rack .so i said keep it until its fix . called me back 20 min later said it was fix. hum 20 min to do alighnment wow .picked up car and asked what they did ? and they said alighned it .they took it to a citco? dove it home still pulled to right but not as bad . stearing wheel was straight ,but still pulled . now wheel jerks hard going over bumps and also
drifts left to right pees me of sometimes. dealer said theres not a lot of room for movement in alighnment. i also hear a slight movement in the back somewhere . i got mopar headers to be installed but not going to do it till this is fixed. as far as mods only mopar cai. can anyone tell me a good exhaust to us i was looking at corsa exhaust . any suggestions.
also dealer said if they fix the paint that they would have problem matching . i fin this hard to believe this is 2006 these guys shuold be masters. any one else have these issuse?

Welcom 440nix, looks like you've done a bit of modding.

Those are warrenty issues but find another dealership to take it to. I would have no confidence in a dealership that couldn’t get your car up on a rack.

For the same reason, lack of confidence, talk to another dealership about the paint. They should paint the entire car if that’s what it takes to match the paint, no other answer should be acceptable.

I wouldn't wait any longer to get these things addressed, your GoManGo's first bday is right around the corner.

Hey Mango,

I must ask you. How were you able to read the two above posts in order to to reply coherently? I tried quite hard to assimilate it but found it impossible to comprehend. Could you possibly translate with at least a modicum of punctuation?

Technology scaned into OCR-translator/punctuator, it took over two hours due to slow laptop performance, hey... jk

IT WILL BE ASSIMILATED, Resistance is futile.

Yeah. I PM'd him and told him his posts would be much easier to read with some punctuation.

Also told him about the problems with my steering. Tomorrow, I take it in for new "stuff". We'll see how it all works out soon.

yes , i know my grammer sucks . i work to much with numbers not words.i sorry . how is the corsa exhaust ? anyone have this exhaust?
also does anyone ever hear a little movement in the back when you release brake and accelerate? or is this the rear brakes pads releasing from rotors?
also after 5000 miles this car changed .this baby lights them up now.
47 foot posi tracks
did this when some gt mustang gas it behind me .i waved my finger (the index one ) and showed him what power is . man did i look good . mustang made left turn . guess he wanted nothing to do with my daytona.
stupid mustangs .[:-]

i do not know because when i called to get them installed they told me that the haeders gaskets are on back order . he said it would take about 3-4 weeks. he said he could use the same exhaust gaskets but i did not want to. to answer your guestion when i went in for oil change there was another daytona just got done and it sounded bad *** on acceleration.when he came back around we talked about it and he said he had the gibson shortys and they sucked.so he sold them on ebay for a few hundred . he also had 40's for mufflers.
also had some real nice swaybars . the front one was massive.
i got my headers for 1000. on ebay i will find the dealers name and post it. also dynatech long tube heades trip engine light because the cats sit back to far. they dont warm up quit enough. i got this from a guy with a magnum.
