Inspect it yourself and see if anything seems obvious. It sounds like a grounding issue to have them all fail.

Most dealers have a warranty even on used cars.
I shouldn't need a warranty on the drive out of the dealers parking lot! Lol my god man the car shouldn't be having any issues just driving her home...I think thats a fair expectation even for a used vehicle.

The salesman was super nervous and anxious to get the test drive over as fast as possible and was trying to talk numbers the entire 90 seconds I was behind the wheel for the test drive. It could have been throwing codes and I didn't even notice due to his posturing and distraction. I tried to pay attention but was running on empty mentally from work week/travel.

I play the numbers in life, and the odds of this failing the moment I drive home but at no point in time before are very very long odds. That would be uncanny that after 4 years of existence and usage this device chose to fail just moments after we signed the papers and moved money...

Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe we'll go to mars. Who knows.

Thanks to whoever posted that diagram stating this is a known problem.

Cheers
