never heard of this, none of my GM trucks have it
—”none of my GM trucks have it”
As noted, only trucks with stop/start.
IIRC half tons.
I had heard something about this the other day. Is it just certain states or is it universal? It certainly is a scam. The article mentions P/U trucks....is it cars, too? I had a battery exchanged on my car awhile back & there wasn’t any real programmiming to do that couldn’t be done by the owner. The car is an older one & has some electronics, but not the latest stuff. Either way, it sounds like SCAM all the way. Who is responsible for this?
I had a 2007 Mercedes, only the dealer could change the battery because of programming the cars electronics. $$$$$$$
My 2007 Jag had it and my 2016 Mercedes has it. What they don’t tell you is there is usually a way around it. I put a new battery in my Jag and drove it 30 miles because apparently that will reset the system. Put a new battery in my Mercedes and everything inside quit working. No tilt on the steering wheel, no cold air from ac, etc. I drove it about 30 miles and everything started working again.
