Re: MDP can no longer help with our SKREEM failures
We experienced a skreem unit failure in January, 2020 which was evident by the car attempting to start twice and then not starting at all. Several months prior we had the problem of the panic alarm sounding at strange times and resolved the issue by removing the No. 9 fuse. While solving the unintended panic alarm issue, removing the fuse also disables the remote, the interior light, the dash lights, the horn and the ability to lock the rear hatch. On 1/28/20 I sent MDP the failed skreem unit, ECM and a remote key. A few days later they reported that the skreem unit was not reparable. However, at that time they did offer a new skeem unit. In late February I received the new skreem unit programmed to the ECM and two new Crossfire remote keys. The cost was $1190 plus tax and shipping. We reinstalled everything and the car operated as expected. In addition, we replaced fuse No. 9 and have not experienced any unintended panic alarms. One has to wonder whether the unintended panic alarms were a signal that the skreem unit was nearing the end of its operational life.
