Have any of you discussed the issues you're having with the service dept at your dealer? What do they say?

I'm trying to find a block heater that will work with my car, they had a factory one for 1st Gen cars but I'm told it won't work on 2nd gens....I'm not experiencing what you all are, it just takes too bloody long to warm up to suit me, especially when we're having single digit temps at night like the last week or so....it would be so nice to start my car on a cold winter morning and have immediate heat - not to mention it would be a whole lot easier on the car on startup too!
