No help. 2/13/18 dealer said " the idle speed can't be reset" 1/15/19 after lemon law the manufacturer agreed" we will replace your car", " 4/16/20 " we will not replace your car, but we will honor your warranty" 5/30/20 "your warranty has expired, choose another plan" the dealer has worked on my car 13 times over a three year period, i nearly crashed in april 2018, because the fast idle overpowered my brakes.
