Hi Joe, Ken, et al. I got my vehicle from the dealer repair shop today. It drives like new! Attached are images of the repair list showing what they completed. Everything at no charge, covered by the recall, except for a right front axle boot/shaft, lower ball joints and a $120.00 wheel alignment. I'm sure I paid premium on those since it was a dealer. But overall, you helped save my car and thus saved me money. So, thank you again.

Hi,

Thanks for the update. Wow! This is good news. Now, the engine is new, and you should have no issues with it.

I'm really glad to know you got it under warranty. I had a feeling you would.

Please feel free to come back anytime in the future. You are always welcome.

Take care and enjoy.

Joe

PS: I'm sure Ken would be saying the same. LOL

I spoke too soon. I got the car back on Saturday. It would not start on Sunday. I got it jumped and was told to let it run. So, I didn't turn it off as I ran errands. Went back home. Monday morning it wouldn't start. So, Monday evening I got AAA out to jump it (I have a 13-month-old AAA battery). They said maybe it is the starter, but let it run. I let it run for two hours. Tuesday morning it would not start. When I picked it up from the dealer repair shop on Saturday, they already had it on and running before I got there. My email to you is first. Next is my phone call to them. Sigh.

Hi,

When the work was done, they could have pinched a wire causing a draw on the battery at all times. Also, the battery itself may be bad, but I doubt that would have happened after the work was done, but anything is possible.

You indicated they had it running at the dealership when you got there. Did they provide any results or ideas?

Also, did you attach an email and other dealer info above? I ask because it didn't come through.

Let me know.

Joe

Hi, I did not make any attachments to the earlier email from today, nor this one. Only the one on Saturday. I am not naming the dealer just yet. I don’t want to prematurely throw them under the bus. Let’s see if they resolve the issue without charging me. Then I can name them.

The day I picked it up from the recall service, they didn’t say anything, and I didn’t ask any questions. I signed the paperwork, and my keys were already in the ignition, turned on. They brushed the snow off and I was on my way.

When I called today about the issue of the car no longer starting, they were sincerely apologetic and asked to get the car towed back into their shop right away. They sent their service out to get it (it was after hours), so I suppose I will hear something on Wednesday or Thursday as to what they think is wrong.

It's good to know about possible pinched wire. The AAA battery is under a six-year warranty, purchased November 30, 2021. Full replacement if anything goes bad with the battery.

I will update you once I know more.

Thank you again.
