Sure, they were minor (the first ones). However, they still meant I had to drive to the shop back and forth 2 times (each time). I don't know how you value your time, but mine is extremely valuable.

Your expectation of him to take care of the issues and communication with you was a tad unreasonable. Now if you were not able to drive the car, or the service department never provided an updates or feedback, THEN I could see involving the sales guy. But not at the point you did.
Why not? I contacted him the third time something had gone wrong, and at that point it was due to negligence in the organization he represents. Further, he may be "just" a sales guy, but he was my contact. He was the one I planned the car with and we shook hands when I placed the order. When things go really wrong, that's the guy I call.

It seems you have incredibly high expectations on many different levels. You need to realize nothing and no person is perfect. Price is wholly irrelevant.
Disagree. I do not think it is "having high expectations" to expect someone to care about another person they have done business with. It is called courtesy and respect. I hold others to the same standards I do for myself and my employees.

I was courteous and asked for help with problems with my brand new car and was given the cold shoulder. In what world is that to be simply accepted?
