it happens, depending on conditions, mileage, and at times these units just fail because of manufacturing.

it always seems it happens right after warranty, but that's the way it goes. welcome to life.

are you out of warranty? even if you are, you may be able to get it replaced by good will at the dealer, it's really dealer dependent.

I lost warranty on 12.10, i try a good will with them but it looks they are out of "good will". I made a research for repair it and it cost $149 w/90 days warranty and a replacement is $189 w/life warranty, i think i'll go with the $189 one, i refuse to pay what dealer is asking for it.

Thanks again!

I had a cruise control go bad at 800+ miles over the 3/36 on a Ford. No dice. No goodwill.
