What a hoot. Programming issues?

One of the ladies that helps take care of my father had an issue with her care last year and they replaced her battery. Now it was having issues with starting remotely to warm up. And there were warnings about the battery.

I suggested she have the dealership check out the programming, I had a Ford Explorer burn the battery up, over charged on long trip and I suspect evaporated the water. Source of the problem? The stupid engineers used the main on board computer to control the voltage regulation on the car. After the battery was replaced the problem remained, they had to update the software on the main computer to fix the voltage issue.

Simple works. Computers invariably ad complexity.

What engineer would want the onboard auto main computer to control the voltage of the charging system? One that was thinking that the computer is more intelligent than the people who design and repair them. Honestly they do it to make fixing one so complex that you have to go back to the dealership for any repair. That is the motive behind this nonsense.

I better quit here, this is a major issue with me.
