Either they didnt road test properly after the install or they thought you wouldnt notice. A second time. Pretty much a big **** you.
Good luck in getting this resolved. Again.

Im going to go with this as well. When they don't have an answer, they try the BS route hoping that the customer doesnt know any better.

When I brought mine in for not locking in 4lock/low, they tried to tell me the front wheels weren't spinning in 4low because I don't have the anti-spin rear axle.

I don't think I posted about that. They claimed its "working as designed" so they won't do anything. So basically I've just been dealing with it. I'm not doing any off roading to speak of anyway but its just the principle.

I asked about that and was told what IamCanadian was told, "there's too many electronic problems to overcome"
