SOS Error

hotwired78 · 06-21-2012, 01:34 PM

Hi All,

I've searched this before, and people are saying the TCU is malfunctioning. Maybe a firmware update will fix it. Dealership is charging me 275 for this update? I am under CPO and maintenance, I figured something free like a firmware update would be covered under CPO, doesn't really require new hardware.

Anyone else being charged for this service?

Basically, should I be charged for a firmware update on my I-drive to resolve an error? I am under CPO and maintenance.

Electronics problems are not a part of CPO.

Unless it's happening a lot, just keep your $275 and live with it. It happens maybe 2-3 times a year for me. I just reset the iDrive when it happens and continue along.
