Exactly! IMO, the dealer is NOT being responsive to the customer - the dealer should fix the additional damage that they caused during the original repair. End of story.

And my other point was that just because you "sign on the dotted line" it doesn't mean that you're "accepting the condition" of the car as-is as 370Zsteve stated - if there are defects present in a new car when you drive it off the lot, the warranty covers you (not to mention lemon laws and other state consumer protection statutes).
