Angry i went to dealer AGAIN!

i went to dealer again with those TSB's
my problems are..

-clicking sound when depressing clutch pedal
-dashboard, rear deck, and door pannels rattle (not always tho..but still shes 1month old!!)
-weird sound when accelerating or when the car is decelerating without brake and with clutch all the way in..especially at 1st gear..
-stiff shifter going into 2nd and 5th, especially 2nd..

i cant speak english well but i explained it as the best as i can..
one of the service man told me those are the characteristics of civics which are normal..
so i said how could the problems be normal..then he said.......why cant be normal..lol
i was almost to kick his *****..damn fvcker..

i showed him a TSB about that clutch noise..he laughed at it..
he said it was about squeaking noise not clicking..and he explained me why it makes noise which i already kno and i want him to kno..why does he think its normal even tho he knows it..
i tried to make him fix at least one or two of them..
but fvcking language problem!!
sadness of ESL(english as second language) ppl..

how can i make them fix it?
even TSB didnt work..
they try to explain me they are normal and i cant even argue about what they say cuz of english..
help

Take it to another dealer, or bring a friend who can speak english better.

I went to the Honda website and did a dealer search. Five dealers came up when I put in Raleigh NC. Have you tried a different dealer? I suggest you call them on the phone and ask if they have anyone who speaks _____ language. One of the five might have someone who speaks your native language. At our dealership we have people fluent in many different languages. Good luck.

By the way, your writing in English is very good. It is not difficult at all to understand what you are saying. Although it may be difficult and not up to the standard you expect for yourself your spoken English may also be very understandable to others, at least more than you give yourself credit for.

like previous suggestions, take your vic to another dealer. i had noise issues, took it to 2 dealers to finish the job. 1st dealer fixed 2/3 rattles/clicks/vibrations and the 2nd dealer fixed the last one.
