We are Al Dente. New plugs are in the car and it's running well. A few other service items to do (I had an airbag fault light that came on intermittently but figured it was just a connector - they are replacing it instead) and inspection. They will probably have it another week but not a huge deal if it's running right.

Excellent

Now I have to decide if I'm going to do plugs annually... If yes, I'll just let the diller know a week before.

Seems like a solid plan. :notbad:

Hopefully you'll still have the thing a year from now!

The fact that there is even a discussion about an $80K car needing to be taken back as irreparably defective is "Exhibit A" to why post industrial revolution Italy was never a force to be reckoned with on the European continent.

I found two cases like that but that's statistically a :dunno:

Interesting. Was it an immediate thing after the plugs or did it take some mileage?

Read the thread bro

I have zero clue where to start. I couldnt keep up with the party and would like cliffs.

I don't see how you went from April 16th, declining a loaner because travel to talking about lemon law on April 22.

I have followed the /bread a bit and have no clue why spark plugs where not available.

Haha sure

Last Tuesday I got a misfire, service throttle control, and a CEL
Last Wednesday they picked it up
Thursday they said new plugs and would take two weeks to get them in from Italy
Plugs arrived yesterday and it's testing fine today (a week ahead of schedule)

Other people with this issue and have had their cars bought back so I'm going to push it hard once I have it to see how it does.

thanks

sounds like a good plan and glad your :alpo:

chariot will soon be home. Alfa things are lolz.

So it took a week for a spark plug change or did they do something else?

Been there two weeks. One week for the plugs. One for a new passenger side airbag (they agreed with my assessment it was probably just a connector but did it all to be safe) and a state inspection/oil change.

Ah gotchya

There's really something to be said about driving cars more frequently.
