Business ProfileforNewton Motor Group of Shelbyville

September of 2023, I took my vehicle to Newton Ford South. The *** light, the traction control light, the terrain selector light, and the brake light came on the dash. I researched the symptoms and found that the *** module was the culprit. I explained this to the service writer, who said they would follow up with the mechanic and let me know. When I was called back, I was told it was my steering angle sensor and that it had to be re-programed. I disagreed and asked for them to check again. I was told that I was wrong and what would I like to do. Against my better judgement, I went ahead with the reprogramming to the tune of $300 plus dollars. Two weeks later in November and only approximately 100 miles later the lights came back on. I called the dealership and took the vehicle back. I was told that they could not reproduce the lights coming on. Fast forward to the weekend of 12/16/2023, I am driving the vehicle and the lights again come on only this time they will not go out. I took the vehicle back to the dealership. I get notified that the *** module is bad and must be replaced. I am okay with the diagnosis; however, this is the third time back for the same problem, that I was told was not the problem. Now I have to wait however long to get this fixed. The repairs I was charged for had nothing to do with the issue and was just a ploy to charge me for unneeded repairs. I am a veteran of the armed services, in the military was a vehicle mechanic. That said, I do have experience and know what I was talking about. To be blown off and charged for what I feel is was needless repair of a reprogramming of steering angle sensor. In all my research that was rarely the issue. Other issues that they recommended was a brake fluid flush, had my system had ever been opened, I would consider that. However, it had never been opened, and upon consulting several dealerships I was correct in my suspicion it was a ploy to attempt to upcharge me for something that was not wrong.
