i hate dealers

when i release the clutch, i hear a sqeaking sound from my car, my car is totally stock, this sqeaking happens on and off ever since the second week ive had my car, i got it in january, i brought it to the dealer 3 times for the whole day!!! and every single time, they say its fixed but the next day it sqeaks again, i cant take this anymore, is there anything i can do, like call a hotline or soemthing, but for now im gonna go yell at the manager and see what happens, thanks

Tell them you want it test driven before they take it for the day, let them listen to the squeaks and you go with them. Then do it again when they say its fixed.

Boilermaker1 is right, but say you want to test drive it with the mechanic. You drive it and if he dosn't hear it let him drive it, and do go for a ride afterwards to. (though they won't want to do that, push it any ways)

no, sometimes it sqeaks and sometimes it doesnt, after every time i pick it up, it stops sqeaking, but then the next day it sqeaks, if u pump the clutch a couple times, it stops sqeaking for like 15 min, the last time, i let the mechanic hear it, and they took it in and after i test drove it it was fine, until today, 2 days later, it sqeaks again

Check the state laws... Here in Indiana, it's 4 times in 30 days with under 18 K on the car, but in NJ it may be different. Go to google and type in "New Jersey lemon laws", thats how I found them.
