Ok so two new things popped up, 1 I hear a knock whenever I'm turning or accelerating through a turn, and the headlights are slightly misaligned actually no the left one is completely misaligned and the right side bumper sits an inch off the light from the left. The headlight being misaligned was something picked up by my friend who works at a body shop and when he went to look at the bumper he also spotted the gap, I will send a few pictures tomorrow as I am about to go to sleep as of now. I will contact the dealership and let you guys know what's new.
I did do a complete look around and test the car when I first picked it up, but these things were so slight that I didn't catch them until last week and then I started to question and review everything. Last edited by MrMegambo; 07-10-2023 at 11:03 PM.. Reason: update |

I do not understand why you did not go after their insurance and a diminished value claim. You're putting yourself totally at their mercy |

The knock during turn can be of concern, do ask the CCRC shop foreman to test drive with you to see if he can spot any issue with the repair and/or if there is anything missed in the original workorder. |

Read the whole thread and I'm surprised you didn't get anything apart the car back for such a long time.
I live in a country that's (supposedly) known for bad rights. And there is a rule here, if the car isn't fixed in 45 days. Every day since that is 1% penalty based on the price paid for the car AT LEAST. So if you didn't have your car for 4 months it's 75 days over and it's 75% cash back for what you originally paid for the car. Can't believe USA, the country where you can sue people for literally anything, you don't have such practice. And in your case isn't what dealership employee did with recorded footage extremely illegal? You basically had them on strings and did nothing with it. Bit strange that. I would ask for the money back and compensation for not going to the court. The car has been in an accident, it's a label =( |

I think in the US the owner signs over the rights while the car is in the shop, so it may not be illegal to delete webcam footage while in service's possession(other legal experts can weight in on this).
The US states do have individual new car lemon laws, I think in CA the car needs to be in dealer service for 30+ days for the same issue to be qualified as lemon. OP's case is a autobody shop repair though, I don't think there is any legislation w.r.t. long an autobody repair can take. |

If the shop uncovers previously undiagnosed damages, they should reopen the insurance claim to get those fixed for customers too. |

Brought the car back to the dealership, spoke to the service manager and they are taking a look at the car. There are a couple of more issues but they will take care of it.
