“Sometime in march 2019 my car didnt want to start.it had been parked over night at my house. I tried to start it and it just kept turning over but no start. I called the dealership and they had it towed to the dealer. I was advised that it was the battery. I was charged about $185 to buy another battery. The car was working fine until may 2, 2019 it was parked at my place of employment and had to leave it there over night and have it towed the next morning to the dealership. The wanted to charge me $400 to get it replaced. …”

Tried replacing fuse for steering - but didn't work - will need to go to dealer. Just went out to get picture of codes - but it's working again. Something is terribly wrong electrically!”
