Check this out...
Maybe someone has seen this before. My stepdaughter has a 2010 Jeep Liberty. Car's been very dependable. Has over 100,000 miles on it now and she plans on keeping it as long as she lives in Queens. It gets bumped and scratched, no point in buying a new car yet.
Anyway, her air bag light came on and it looked like the clockspring needed to be replaced. For some reason she took it to the Jeep dealer near her house and they charged her 794 to do the work. This included a 200 dollar diagnostic fee that she would have had to pay even if she opted for them not to make the repair. Once she was on the hook for 200 bucks, she decided to let them fix it.
She picks the car up the next day and everything seemed fine. She drove home and the fob would not lock or unlock the doors. She went back to the dealer and said the keys worked before they had the car. What gives? They did something and both fobs worked. She got back home, both fobs did not work.
She came out to our house and I told her to bring it to my friend who does remote starts and security systems. He said it seems like the dealer turned something off in the car. The dealer told her they could fix it but it would be around 400 dollars.
Here's the part I can't wrap my head around... She brought the car to my house again. I disconnected the battery, waited a few minutes and reconnected it. BOTH fobs worked for five minutes. One stopped working, the other one continued to work for about 45 minutes and then stopped as well.
I'll be [censored] if I'm going to let them get 400 dollars for something they may have done.
Anyone have any ideas?
