Request for advise - Knock sensor and PCM issue with TL 2007
Request for advise - Knock sensor and PCM issue with TL 2007
Folks - I don't know much about automobiles hence looking for some advise.
I have an 07 TL at about 97K miles.
About a month ago, different lights were going on and off on the panel and eventually engine light was lit permanently. Acura dealer told me it could be problem with more than one sensors and they reset it at that moment.
Within few days radiator leaked into transmission, which were replaced along with some pipes etc - $1100.
Yesterday engine light came back and i was told it's knock sensor and harness - mouse ate it! I don't think i have mouse anywhere near my house though. Spent $570.
Today morning i got a call that when mouse ate the cable, it shorted PCM - now they are looking for another $990.
I wondering if they are trying to rip me off and if someone can help me with following questions:
> When they put the probe yesterday, could they not have known about PCM then?
> Shall I take the car to another dealer to see what's going or better to get it fixed from them so that they own the complete problem?
> Is there a cheap option to fix PCM?
Thanks
