OK, an actual example.

The rear cargo light burned out on my old Cherokee Limited. When I was in for some other service, I asked the SA to have the it checked out and replace the bulb if needed.

The SA refused, saying that my model doesn't come with a rear cargo light. I re-explained that I had the top-of-the-line Limited, and it should have every little feature. The SA still refused to even have a tech looked at.

I then asked what is that thing in the rear roof that use to light up when I opened the tailgate? The SA still insisted that my model doesn't come with a cargo light, and continued to refuse to write-it-up.

I eventually had to drag the owner out of his office, and out to my Cherokee. While walking I explained the situation to the owner. When we got out to it, I opened up the tailgate and pointed to the cargo light and said "then what's this?" The owner then had a tech repair it.

Does that clarify my statement about SA's ?
