Ok, so earlier this week my Service Engine Soon idiot light comes on and I figure it's about time to have the dealer look at my small list of problems. The passenger seat didn't recline (power motor didn't work), and the front tie rod end & sway bar link spontaneously loosened themselves. Simple fixes, right? I just got a call from the dealer, he said the SES light fixed itself, but could't recall what the code was. I talked to the service writer, not the technician. Anyway, he goes on to tell me that my car wasn't going to be ready until tomorrow. So I ask him why... Turns out that the tech decided to re-flash my computer. I recall some previous discussions about the problems with re-flashing the computers on these cars... And I don't recall them turning out well. The service writer told me that the tech reflashed the computer today and then the car wouldn't start. So apparently it's going to take a little more time to get the computer running again.
Let's take bets. Who thinks I'll actually get my car back tomorrow? I don't....
