Anybody have this happen? This weekend my JC starting flashing service indicator lights to "service rear parking assist" then "service 4wd system" the dash lights would dim and flash and the radio display did the same and it would turn on and off the headlights as well. It was acting as if it were possesed! After I parked and went out the next day it didnt do it, but it kept displaying the warning to service the rear parking assist system.
I took it to the dealership Monday am and it started doing the same thing again on the way there, with everything flashing etc, but now the turn signals wouldnt work while all this was going on. I left the car running knowing that if I turned it off it might not do it again when they looked at it. The mechanic said he had never seen this before and immediately took it back to his bay to put it on the computer. After checking he found a TSB for the computer control module of some sort, however it was not issued on my vin#, it was for vehichles manufactured before mine. He proceeded to reprogram the computer at which point it went completely haywire and died altogether? He said they would have to order a new board and I had to leave it over night. The part came the next day they installed it and test drove and gave it back to me. I drove it home parked it in the driveway, no problems with drive home. Later that evening went to put it in the garage, car started, put it in gear it lunged one foot and died and would not even turn over. Towed it back to dealer where it is still!!!! They told me yesterday they just dont know what is wrong. Today when I called they said they think the new board wasnt plugged all the way in and that may have been it. But they are keeping it and testing it still?????? How can they not know what the problem is? I thought the computerized equipment they have diagnosed all! Very frustrated at this point!! Not at all happy with strangers driving my car and leaving it on an excessivly over crowded lot to be subject to more damage!!
