I agree. Once it's 'formally' in the records, you should be covered.
I had a turbo engine throw a rod and they offered me either a refund from
the first problem or to fix it. When they checked, they found I reported
a
'rattle' at 6000 miles that came and went but they couldn't find. The
offered refund was based on devaluation all the way back to then since
I reported the rattle right away. (Essentially a new car)
That's not to say all dealers are ethical, but you can always go
elsewhere.
If you want a little bit of extra assurance, leave a digital camera in the
car, and try to trap the problem on video. If you SHOW the tech
what happens, zooming in on the dash so they can SEE the flashing
and hear the chimes, it's a lot different than describing the problem.
I did that with my cable company. After a couple service calls that
always ended with 'it looks ok now', I started videotaping the problem
and played the tape. I got the problem bumped up to corporate, and
while I had to scream and be really obnoxious, I finally got the problem
fixed, and 8 months of cable for free out of it. (Turned out the contract
installed didn't 'droop' the cable correctly, and my whole neighborhood
had to be rewired!)
