I talked to the previous owner and he bought the car new, and I believe him that the car had nothing wrong with it when he sold it to me, great guy just didn’t get that vibe from him, the reason that I didn’t have the tint shop pay for the repair is because it’s owned by a good a friend of mine and I didn’t want to make it a big deal, but in your case, I would 1st check the fuses for water, if you don’t find it, it’s going to be hard to prove it until you take it to the dealer and they tell you what it was caused by
, but I would inform the tint shop of what your plans are, **** happens and they need to understand in business you take losses sometimes..hopefully you get it sorted out. Also, not sure I would tell the dealer you think it’s water from the tint, it might give them a way out, if it’s a 2024, shoot for warranty coverage, but don’t volunteer information

Sometimes, even with the car running, if the battery isn't fully charged, it can cause electrical glitches like this. It's worth getting the battery tested or replaced to see if that resolves the problem. If the issue persists, you might want to have a professional take a closer look to rule out any other potential causes. Hope you get it sorted soon!

They waived my $290 diagnostic fee. I called the tint shop and explained to them what happened and the service rep honestly didn’t seem sorry at all and said she will notify her higher ups. No apologies ever heard…
