am on my 6th ignition switch at about 150.00 each. just replaced one 18 months old with only 4000 miles in the year and half. same switch as recalled by nhtsa. they must be using old invenory. any thoughts on how to get my money back? any ignition switch stories

oil drip. need 2 gaskets. dealer etimates 5 hours plus parts etc, maybe 600.00. make sense to you. appears to be a drip into oil pan. i saw man tinkering there, wiping, wrenching etc. looks like an easy reach for him. did not look necessary to take car apart to do this job. does 5 hours seem reasonable or should i just go to a shade tree mechanic?

please write me at larrymstein@earthlink.net

thank you

Do you have the receipts from all the purchases?? That could really help you out in terms of getting your money back. I would try to contact them regardless to speak about a refund since they recalled them anyway.

If the actual oil pan gasket is leaking, then yes I'd say 5 hours is reasonable depending on how hard your oil pan is to get to. A lot of vehicles have to have the engine pulled to swap out the oil pan, or atleast have the sub frame dropped to gain access. It just depends on what is involved. You might want to ask the procedure for what they are doing and then figure out the exact location of the leak before agreeing to the 5 hour prices though.

labor on that leak sounds about right. Any part you buy from parts should carry a 90 day warranty and thats about it.
