The last month has been a wild ride. Dropped off my A90 to the dealership for a Warranty Badge Replacement (It was cracked like others have posted) and it's 1 Year Service visit. The badge was replaced first, things went well. Next, the oil was changed, that went well, small amounts of oil were spilled on the engine due to the oil filter's location. Degreaser was used to remove the oil......
Here is where sh1t gets juicy. They claim a metal tool makes contact with a live wire that traverses the bottom of the car, and creates a spark. This spark then ignites the degreaser. This fire melts $3500 worth of wiring harnesses and kills the power steering.
After a month of waiting for parts to repair the car, they give up on the Rona affected supply chain and offer me an A91 as an even trade (with added CF mirror caps).
CRAZY I KNOW. I'm just here telling this story if it prevents anyone else from having a similar fate. They have been good about making things right all through the process but felt like I should bring the story here to share.
