Consumer Description

VEHICLE'S BATTERY DRAINED WHILE SITTING FOR 2 WEEKS WITHOUT DRIVING IT. TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER DIAGNOSED A BATTERY DRAIN COMING FROM THE HANDSFREE LINK UNIT. PART WAS $350+. DEALER EXPLAINED THAT THE LABOR WAS $150+ WHETHER THEY DEACTIVATED THE FAULTY UNIT OR WHETHER THEY REPLACED IT WITH A NEW UNIT. I OPTED FOR THE NEW UNIT. TOTAL BILL WAS ~$800 WHICH INCLUDED LUDICROUS "DEALER-COMPLIANT" TOWING COMPANY. DEALER ALSO REPLACED BATTERY AT THIS TIME (UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE I'D HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM 4 MONTHS EARLIER - HOWEVER IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED AT THAT TIME AS HFL UNIT). CAR SAT AGAIN FOR 1 WEEK. BRAND NEW BATTERY IS NOW COMPLETELY DEAD AGAIN. *TR
