I just came back from Crevier. I went there for the battery/cable recall. My car would not start so they told me to leave it over night. If I need a new battery, they will charge me $609. I asked them to give me a jump so I can drive it home. Now, I'm on this forum to decide what to do. If I don't need to register or program the battery, I'm going to pepboys, costco, or autozone. Going to do a search here. I would like to hear from anyone who went aftermarket, did not register/program and if they had any problems.
I think dealer is trying to scare me into buying from them.

I just came back from AutoZone. I was going to buy the Duralast Gold 95R-DLG but when I had my original battery checked, they said it's good. What's going on... did the dealer leave all my lights on and tried to sell me a battery!!!

I just had my battery replaced yesterday with a auto repair shop that?s very trustworthy and reasonable in pricing they installed my battery for about $190 my first battery made it a little over six years. I went to start it on morning and it gave me a quick crazy light show on the displays then nothing so it was time to replace.

LOL $1000???? Do they ask you to get on all 4s before paying for that? 
I paid $140 for mine at Autozone, they refused to install it though because they are afraid they would be responsible if they messed it up. The battery is freaking massive.

They don't call it the "STEALERSHIP" for nothing. That is just asinine.
