He switched out all mounts and mods before taking it, all he had was his car lowered and rims.

It is all hear-say. The service manager that wrote my car up and sent it to the local GM rep has never seen my car before. The transmission tech that cried about doing the work and that he is backed up till November has never worked on my car before. The shop never handled my car, all work was done by me or was taken to my buddies garage when I needed a rack, there is no proof anywhere that anything was ever on that car. It does not have any RO'S or anything else that it was ever in the shop with all these mods that they claim that I have... hell I can say I have an LS1 under my hood and make everyone believe me, but until I see physical proof of that LS1 by data from computer and or pictures, then it is just hear say. The tech had in his mind before that he didn't want to work on it be cuz I had him test drive 2 days before they gave me a time to bring it in the shop to get it looked at and he stated "well I dunno if they will cover it due to your springs and wheels blah blah and have u done computer work" because I've known alot of people with their sonics tuned that he has turned down.
Btw Eric, because of trans mount? Please tell me how. Let me know how a stiffer load out and less movement and smoother fitment and engaging of the gears and throttle response and no wheel hopping/tire spinning , made the already faulty bearing go out of this already weak transmission.
Edit: oh yeah the manager sent pictures for evidence to the local GM rep, local GM rep declined and a different GM rep contacted me. She said that in his report he declined it due to mounts, intake, etc.. which all of this is what he supposibly got pictures.. to bad the service manager only has pictures of my springs and wheels? So where are all these other parts magically coming from? Oh yea the tranny tech hearing it from someone else that I've done things to my car. Sheesh so childish.

Probably another dealership that I won't go to ever just cause of this reason right here.

I was told today that it is my fault that I drove the car back home and it went bad?? After they had it in the shop for 9 hours and didn't look at it and I told them I didn't want to take it and that I needed a loaner and they told me they couldn't give me one? But after my car came in on a tow truck they gave me a rental??

At this point get a lawyer. It's all the dealerships fault. They are pretty much twisting everything their way just to separate you from your cash. I know a person who had this same thing happen with his audi a4 and they pulled the exact same things that you are going through now.
Not to bump this into oblivion, but does this sound the same? I have the EXACT same symptoms as you. Right front side high pitched whine/squeal.
Listen to mine in the right speaker.

Took it to a local dealer as I bought it 2 hours away. "I hear something that isnt present in other sonics, but i have no idea what it is. You will have to pay a diagnostic fee for two hours so we can figure it out'.
So they hear something, but dont know. Called up the dealer i bought it from on Saturday, they are sending someone up to meet me half way with my trade in vehicle so they can take back the car and fix it.
Hopefully they hear the noise so I am not up a creek. A lot riding on this.

Mine, when the car is driven for awhile, becomes almost silent though. I drove it 2 hours to drop it off and I could almost not hear it anymore. Anyways, I will update when they drive it tomorrow.
