1 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 04/21/2023

Engine needed to be replaced as part of the recall for knock, however they said because the repair was done on a subsequent work order and the first one was for a failed aeb module that none of the repairs are covered. I'm out over $13,000 for what should have been warrantied.
