This issue really toasts me. DC has a great little thing going here, and the prevailing idea seems to be to pi$$ off owners and potential buyers just up to the point that they might still remain as customers if the salesman at the local dealership bullys them into it.
Integrity seems to be a missing word....and in tight times it WILL hurt them.
The sway bar issue is one just waiting for "Prime Time Live" to embarass DC. The car IS unstable when loaded to the limit because the "twist axle setup doesn't have the beef to keep the car stable. How many accidents / lawsuits/ etc. will have to occurr to gain their attention? Who knows.
As owners though, trashing the PT reputation will undercut our trade in values.
My best suggestion is spend the $100, install the Sway Bar, be safe, let someone else's accident be the one that forces the issue!
