    The battery that was replaced was the 12V. The invoice has the following part number 1 00544-21171-325 BATTERY. I just called the dealer and I should be within the 1yr warranty. I dont have transportation to check the charge or gas until tomorrow. If the charge is low, is it as simple as jump starting the car and then driving to the dealership to have them replace?

    Just be careful not to reverse the polarity or let them touch each other.......doing this will end up in a very high repair bill

    Refresh my memory, what is that: inverter software update, or the brake booster fix.

    Battery is not the issue... AAA came by and tried to jump it. In the process of getting it towed. I'll keep you posted.

    Hopefully, they didn't botch it. Several threads in the past regarding cross polarity jump start attempts frying the inverter.

    Hopefully not related to the jump attempt (see comment above). If it's the inverter, it may be covered under warranty, unless they say it was ruined by an improper jump start.

    More likely, it's the inverter software recall - or rather, the lack thereof, which ended up frying the inverter. So you'll get some inverter components replaced, and they should apply the recall too so it won't happen again.
