+1 Definitely curious what they're seeing that requires DME replacement since that's going to be a substantial portion of the repair cost. I'd want justification for that even if it were covered under warranty, just on principle.

Weirdly they said the DME had to be replaced first and then they had to a test drive to see if the throttle actuator needs replacement. It seems like they decided to replace the DME because of the error codes. Who knows. They are called stealership for a reason.
