Hhr was brought in on Friday 02/12 for rubbing noise in steering column. Car was kept for 1 day to repair. I was told "rattling" noise repaired. I stated it was a rubbing noise. Told to bring the car in when it was making the noise. Car returned to power on 02/18/10 with same rubbing noise (see repair order 473237- no survey card given to me). Spent 15 minutes with the mechanic in parking lot while car was making the rubbing sound. It was clearly heard by the mechanic. Car kept for another day for repair. When I called on 02/19/10, I was told by mike that marc was not in and that the mechanic worked on the car all day, but could not duplicate the sound. I was told he even drove the car 25 miles to duplicate and yet mileage in/out are the same on invoice. Per the mechanic, you cannot keep bringing the car in for the same problem, that they (whoever "they" are) would start questioning the warranty. I feel they should question the ability of the mechanic to do the job.
