12,000 Miles - Maintenance Air filter

DinoJ · 01-18-2010, 04:02 PM

Im right around 12,000 Miles and about to go for my 4th service any day now when a warning pops up for my air filter, and oil as well. Has anyone else already had air filter problems? And should I have them this early?

Then the night before my service I drove to Target and car was running fine, then when I come back out from shopping my car wont start, get it towed to dealership and they tell me the BCU is broken, which controls all the electronics on the car. It's covered under warranty and they're paying for a rental until wednesday when they get the part in but it's a bit frustrating that such a major issue would occur on such a new car.

this is written with about as much grammar as a 7 year old. i'm at work

But it CAN happen unfortunately.

Well it does have 12,000 miles and when it comes down to electronics anything can happen or go wrong.

I know it can be frustating but at list is under warranty.

car won't start? won't crank? cranks but doesn't read your keyfob? started once then died and now won't start?

could be a BCM issue but i'd be more inclined to blame a battery for the starting issue. or something as simple as a bad ground.
