The mechanic told me today the computer system is blown. He also told me this is something only the dealer could repair. Do you have an idea on what a new computer would cost and is it true this is only something the dealer could fix? Trying to compare my options on whether or not it would be cost effective to do so with the year and mileage on this vehicle.

I would seek another shop for help as for sure they have no idea what is happening
and if for sure you need a new computer it should be available aftermarket for a lot less
no need for it to go to the dealer
many places sell it on line too
