Description of the problem | The check engine light started going on and off periodically. After three visits to the dealer they determined that there are no mechanical problems. They researched and determined there is a computer program problem with the main computer that causes the light to go on. They told me that i would have to pay to get an update to the computer program that would correct this problem. It cost me three visits and a $85 bill to find out the problem is with their computer program. They know there is a problem with their program and they want the vehicle owner to pay over $200 to fix it. How do they figure that is the owner's fault? |
