I'm really confused as to why no one would want to not perform this recall. When your SOL, that's when you wish you did it. Unfortunately, I was on the receiving end of this since I got locked out TWICE on separate occasions during opposite times of the year. Then, maybe a handful of times where the car's dash lit up WHILE driving with 1-2 seconds of POWER LOSS.

Alternator problems because of this? Really...? The 4 of you went to the same dealer to do this? Possible that they messed *something* up? You're literally cutting a wire, splicing it back together and the other end is connected to the fuse box in a much more secure manner. I had alternator problems too, when I reached like 170k, 2 years after I DIY'd this and it was because the alternator lived through its life.

If anyone's curious, I have a thread about it.
