| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Vehicle began to stall on highways. then it would not start at all. brought it to dealer, they claimed that aftermarket alarm had melted coil wire and charged me $170. they replaced leaking battery and taped coil wire. a few miles down the road from leaving the dealership, the truck stalled again. would not drive over 25 mph without smoke and valves chattering. towed it to different dealer. they claim my aftermarket alarm reset my computer, burned out my converter, damaged the catalytic converter, and so on. this is costing me over $2300 to have it fixed, because it is not warranty work. the alarm installer is denying responsibility, says it is impossible because the alarm is not tied into the computer. what can i do now? *la |
