Usually, the truck scrams in time to prevent damage.
I know you said sometimes that’s the only thing that will work, but I’ve already learned this lesson and now you have. My point was to illustrate to others:
There is ALWAYS another option other than picking up just before service closes. They are always in a hurry just before close, you don’t want your vehicle buttoned up as the last thing they do before heading out for beers at the local bar.
Make time to prevent this from happening to you, FRF.
This almost happened to me again on the door latch freezing recall, but I remembered the ugly skid plate incident, that was another dealer but I had 2 doors that wouldn’t latch closed. Miller Time got delayed a little because I was there an hour before close. I waited and when they said it was done, I suggested we should make sure the doors all worked.
The stealership involved here should have a loaner waiting for you by no later than 10 in the morning. If they “don’t have any” they can borrow the sales manager’s demo. What was Obama was fond of saying? “Yes we can”.
And your truck should get a full shakedown, codes pulled, tech investigates them all, goes through the repair, bit by bit, fixes what he missed and tells the service advisor. Then they can have another tech review this junior screw up’s work. 2 pairs of eyes on every aspect of the failed repair. When they think it’s ok, then they can call/text you, not before.
