Yeah, I had a pretty good meltdown in a car dealership a week or two ago. Had negotiated over email purchase price on a vehicle on their site. Had the email where the salesman and I had agreed on the out the door price, pending their inspection of my trade-in. I was prepared to not trade in based on their offer, and I made him aware of that. I get there with the vehicle, they take it for a spin, give me a stupidly low offer, so I tell them I won't be trading it in. Then he brings me the paperwork and the out the door price is nearly $5,000 more than we agreed. I whip out our email exchange and he claims that was contingent on the trade-in and since I wouldn't be trading my car in, that was his best price. I asked for my keys back and thanked him for wasting my time, and walked out. The manager came running out, and I told him they only had one chance and there were plenty of similar vehicles in the area for sale. He called the next day saying there was a misunderstanding and they'd honor the email exchange, and I went off on him that there was no misunderstanding and his salesman acted dishonestly and I wouldn't be buying a car from them then or anytime in the future.

Yeah, I have pictures of the cut wires. I know that my damages are $0. I'm not fishing for approval to sue them. I just don't want a scumbag dealership to get away with something that has the potential to literally kill someone without anyone knowing.
Great. So what dealership was it?

Donnie is good people. I bet he’d talk to you directly and make it right.

If the wires were cut, how did this happen while you were driving? Seriously just asking.

File a formal complaint with esquire after your name.

What kind of a truck still has a MAP sensor in 2021? It could have just been dry-rotted.

Couldn’t be farther from the truth. I’m in court about 8 times a month. Just your typical self-loathing litigator.

Find the owners and tell them.

Dealership "repaired" a recall issue that lead to other issues the afternoon I picked truck up, namely, my truck spontaneously shut off while I was on I-10.
Dealership denies all responsibility leading me to bring truck to trusted third party mechanic who opens hood in front of me and shows me where MAP sensor wire was CUT with a wire cutter. He replaced it in 2 minutes and didn't charge me.
Furious because the "problem" manifested itself while I was driving 60 mph with infant in the backseat.
#1 How old is this vehicle?
#2 What did this recall entail as far as repairs? Were they even remotely close to this wire where it was "cut" while doing the recall?
#3 If a MAP sensor wire was "cut", you would have a check engine light on before you left the parking lot.
#4 If a MAP sensor wire was "cut", any drivability issue it caused would have been obvious before you were running 60MPH on the interstate. Why would a "cut" wire wait until you were going 60MPH to make your vehicle spontaneously shut off. That makes no sense.
You obviously don't know what a MAP sensor does, or how it affects drivability of a vehicle. You sound like many car owners who are always looking to blame someone else for anything that goes wrong, regardless of the fact that it could be completely unrelated to any repair performed.
It very well could be rodent damage, as this is quite prevalent, and will look just like someone "cut" the wire.
Mouse/rat teeth work just like wire cutters, and I have repaired a whole bunch of wiring harnesses over 35+ years that looked "cut".
Well, maybe they were CUT. By rodent teeth.
