again... i did not mean to be harsh towards weatherman at all...what i am trying to convey is the fallacy on his statement... we cannot just accept any statement that is given to us by some guy in customer service over the phone because it is evident that their motive is to make you complacent with the car you have purchased and stop you from escalating the issue at hand... i apologize if i was mean, i just dont want people to be discourage at figuring out a substantive conclusion for this situation...
