well i have had my 986 for a little over a month and had to take it to the dealer finally. my wife was in town and the car was having a hard time starting so she went to the dealer and told them and they said bring it back tommorow. well of course she listened to them and we all know what happened next. she got about 7 miles away from the dealer when it finally went. altenator and battery both shot. no warning lights or anything. got it towed and luckily it is still under warrenty. the thing that gets me is they wouldnt give the wife a loaner car so she could go and finish her errands for the day. is this normal or is it possibly because i am in an army town and they just dont trust the army guys around here?
