After a simple first required service of an oil change, the engine light came on. we learned that this engine light coming on was the result of the dealership service department performing a recall campaign service to reprogram the transmission and powertrain control modules. the campaign to reprogram the transmission control modules was completed, without our knowledge, during the time the vehicle was in for the oil change. the vehicle was brought back to the dealership twice more in two days to "figure out" why the engine light was coming on. the dealer is now replacing the entire transmission. *tr
