Hi, I got this done in December, they did a whole cable replacement, before the recall.... After that I had issues with dash lighting up like xmas, speedo going to 0, and a bunch of weird stuff, I went back on March 20, and the battery needed to be replaced, they also switched the connectors on the cables...

From what I am reading here, I get my money back for the cable, will they refund the battery too since it killed it? It's only fair, at least the labour for the battery... This stuff cost me over 1.5 grand! The only problems I have had with the vehicle.

I would also like to know since all this work was before recall, I still never got a letter, is there more work to be done now? would the replacement parts they put in have this issue?
