Hi Texas mynissanleafers,
I've been gone awhile simply enjoying my Leaf and not checking in, but I thought this was something I should pass on to y'all. Just took my 2011 Leaf to Baker Nissan South (in Houston) for it's 2nd annual battery inspection, first state inspection, scheduled maintenance, and executive pillow fluffing. Aside from the outrageous prices one expects from dealer service departments, all went well. Except ... before driving it to BNS I took a red china marker pencil and wrote the position of each tire on the sidewall below the B in Bridgestone -- LF, LR, RF, RR. When I went to pick it up, I saw they had smeared some shiny stuff on the sidewalls and I couldn't read my markings easily. But when I got home I was able to read my marks, and the tires were in the exact same place -- no rotation. This happened to me (with my Prius) a few years ago at BNS's neighboring Toyota dealer, Mike Calvert Toyota. In two tests, dealers are oh for two!
Has anyone else done this? Is this a common issue? Would anyone else here like to give it try themselves and report back?
(I've called the service rep who handled my car and he is going to check on it tomorrow, he says, so we'll see what the fallout is.)
