The service rep is the "Boots on the ground" and will ultimately pull the strings to get issues handled. Engineering issues are pushed up the line for home office guys to deal with. Hopefully, after the customers are schmoozed everyone is happy. Sometimes not. I was a Factory guy for Honda for 21 years, so I have a little insight....
This sounds just like the system they use in the UK. The person who answers your call analyzes how important it is (normally by how much you argue with them and how many times you refuse to accept their attempts to palm you off, then eventually they 'refer your case to a manager', who actually has the authority to do something - always ask for your problem to be referred to a manager, or even better ask to speak to a manager there and then. Then be prepared to discuss/argue with him/her too, until finally they do something about it. Trust me, it works. Been there, done that regularly, am thinking of getting the t-shirt.
