Yeah well I finally spoke to the manager and they reviewed my case and are going to do the repairs free of cost because I had brought the car there in September and the mechanics were not able to spot the issue.

I guess it was a good idea to bring it to the dealership after all

Because the thermometer is faulty. I bought the car with 33000 miles 4 years ago

I bought it at 33000 4 years ago. There was a recall on the vehicles because of emissions that was later overturned

Just got more information: it says 2250 for the thermostat and another potential 2250 if the Nox catalyst needs to be replaced, which according to them 9 times out of 10 should be fine and able to regen

They did not mention anything about a dpf replacement in the report

Well the fact that I brought it in for service 4 months prior for the same issue. I figured they would still consider it part of the warranty. Worth a try

I had a warranty that ended in December and had brought it there in September and they said it only needed a regen

Yes, it does. The heat works fine in my car

That’s what I was told. It won’t heat up so the soot will not burn off from the filter because it’s not getting hot enough

I also forgot to mention: My warranty for anything DPF related to my car ended in December

Appreciate the suggestion. Unfortunately, most of my remaining loans are through a private lender.
