C'mon, Moms, using logic? Is that fair?

It will be interesting to see how they handle those of us who have had our seals replaced and have had no problems since. The service department where I took mine (same physical location as my selling dealership, but under different owners/name) certainly were well aware of the issue and how to properly lift our cars.

I suppose that when I get my letter, I'll just give them a call and see what happens.
