they finally got authorization to tear the entire dash out, and they found a large bolt on a piece of string under the passenger side dash, near the pillar. on it was a note "how long did this take you?"

another story i know of was a customer coming in for a "crunching sound when rolling down the window"

they opened up the door panel and found a beer can set in the bottom corner that the window track would hit every time the window rolled down...
That’s pretty wild. I can’t only imagine the level of frustration felt.
I’ve had the car for a few years before this started. Granted someone could’ve done something at the dealer when I took it in, but I don’t think they went that deep in there to be able to mess with too much. I’ve definitely looked further in than they likely went.
