My dealer said it would be a couple weeks or longer. Anyone else experienced this?

Yeah, this happened to my car( June 2019 production) and was stranded in the underground parking lot of a shopping mall. Very difficult to tow it out, as transmission couldnt be shifted to neutral.
Eventually reached the dealership on a flat bed, and the short story was that transmission wires got exposed somehow and short-circuited, rendering the transmission unusable.
They fixed it though in a couple of hours and could get my car back next day

But if the cables were allright all they needed to do is place them somewhere that there would be no harm.
|
They said they needed to reinsulate them as they got exposed. It was an easy fix indeed, but my experience being stranded and flat bed was not easy
|
I don't get it... from relocate the harnessing, to re-insulate... further on to "parts to be ordered"...
WHO actually knows WHAT is going on?
We are having a spectrum from easy fix to replacing parts!?
|
Because of this harness issue, the transmission wires rubbed against something and lost the insulation, producing a short circuit which stranded my car.
Obviously in my case they needed to reinsulate the wires, relocation alone wouldnt have been enough

My question was more of a general nature... your fix was easy... there are even easier ones for those where the cables are still in a good shape... but I don't get those ordering new parts... I mean... if there's a broken cable... something should not work as intended... or at all... I just find the offered "solutuions" from the dealers strange.
