I do NOT RECOMMEND EVEN FOR RECALLS!!! Car taken in for engine and starter replacement under warranty. Received back with lock & instrument cluster messed up. Working fine before taken in.
My car had broken down due to the engine seizing up due to a recall I had received in the mail a week after breaking down. After trying to start my car multiple times before I received the recall letter my starter burned out. All of a sudden everything on my car had died causing ALL door locks and lights to not work. Not even the actual key would work. I was COMPLETELY LOCKED OUT! I come to find out my battery was dead. So before I could get it towed to the dealership to replace the engine and starter I had to replace the battery so that the tow truck driver could access my car. Once the battery was replaced everything went back to working like normal key fob was unlocking and locking ALL doors properly and all my lights began to work again. So I had the vehicle towed to the dealership to replace the engine and starter under warranty. After almost two months I received my car back and 5 minutes after deciding key fob would only unlock and lock REAR DOORS ONLY. I have to use the key insertion to unlock and lock the front doors. The screen that is apparently called an instrument cluster is stuck on trip a and will not allow me to change it. After speaking to someone at the dealership they told me to bring the car back in and they would look at it and if it. On May 28 2019 at 10:00 am I dropped the car off and was told they would take care of it. At 330 pm that day I spoke to someone who told me that they had looked at it and couldn't figure out what was wrong with it yet. On May 29 2019 I spoke to someone again to see if my car was ready and was told they cannot look at it until I pay $125 diagnostic fee. I did not approve because I shouldn't have to pay for something that wasn't my fault when their mechanics were the ones replacing my engine. They tried to tell me it was a previous problem because of all the door locks and lights not working before I replaced the battery. After I had spoken to mechanic at a different location I was told that when you replace an engine you have to reset the computer and if you don't it can cause problems with door locks and anything else. So I went back to the dealership and sat down with the owner and explained it to them. He was very unprofessional and told me that whatever mechanic I spoke to was wrong.
