I just got my car back from the shop after a month of getting the drivers side fixed after being T-boned over a month ago, but theres some... alot of problems with it, but here are the biggies.

#1. My car sounds totally and completely different.. before it sounded like a normal PT Cruiser GT only a little deeper thanks to my Dual Borla Exhaust.

Now.. its louder than THIS except for the big pops, it pops but not that loud. When it starts to suck in air when the turbo spools, it sounds like a pressurized air hose with a huge tear in it.

#2. My e-brake is messed up.

Two part problem with this one. #1 my e-brake light does not turn on when you pull the e-brake (but it does engage this time, before the accident, the light would be on when the e-brake was off and ding at me) And the bigger problem, I can shift from park to reverse without hitting the brake.. I was testing stuff with my friend in the car and I did that, right into a snowbank... What could cause that? I'm having my dad test drive it tomorrow, I had pulled in to grab the windex so I could re-attach my GPS, and my dad noticed it, I thought I was just hearin stuff.

First bring it straight back and tell them this isn't the condition of my car before the wreck and you don't want it back till it's right then contact yur insurance company make sure to provided a list of what's wrong to both of them. Do this now most companies will only take care of it in a certain time frame. Don't take anything less then perfect it was find before repair and you paid them to repair it back the way it was even if the insurance paid it.

I have a life time warranty on anything, even if 95% of teh parts were from crashed cars. I wanted my car to sound like a SRT-4, but not that loud.. I'm having my dad Test drive it and see if anything else he can notice is wrong... I had to finish snapping my instrument cluster cover back on, and I had to re-route my heated seat cables out of the way... Lazy bastards. took a month and 10 days, and they did a total **** job (excuse my french).
