Consumer Description

I received a recall on my vehicle for an electrical update and was out of town when it malfunctioned. The vehicle would not start on the first try. Tried again and it immediately overheated, with smoke and a burning smell coming from the hood. It was towed to the dealership, and the starter and battery ended up needing to be replaced. I believe the failure of these parts was caused by the software issue that the recall was for. The dealership refused to compensate for the replacement of the battery and starter, claiming that it was not under the recall. When I reached out to corporate, they also refused to help. The car was at the dealership for a month, and the total cost of repairs was $2,200.
