Using your number of 7,400 miles, here is the calclulation. Where they came up with the 120,000 number I have no idea....

7,400 / 120000 = 0.06166666

if you paid sticker price of $35,500 for the car, then

35500 * 0.06166666 = $2,189.17

So the dealer's claim of $2,300 is pretty close, assuming that you made no complaint about the problem until there were 7,400 miles on the car.

read everything on the site, and there is a lot...

Good luck.

The next problem was with the traction control system.
