Hello,

Everyone thinks they need to take their car to the dealer to get fixed. You are paying double for anything done. I recommend taking the vehicle to a reputable service center like Fire stone, Good year, Sears etc. Most have the same testing equipment. You need to call around and explain the communications problem and if they have the diagnostic equipment for your car.

The problem you are referring to is somewhere in the vehicle's computer system. Could be a sensor, a bad computer and other issues. There has to be full communication in order for the vehicle to run properly. Quit going to the dealer and find out who else can fix the car.
