Vehicle history report

Has any had their radio blurt out do you want to run a Vehicle history report? What does it want to do that for. Usually happens after a road trip for a few times then it goes away.

This is on a 2010 4.0 V6 EB

I think a well placed shot should take care of it, pard.

My 2011 SHO did that before I went in to the settings and told it to stop asking. If you have a phone paired to the car it has the ability to e-mail you a status report as well as a diagnostic report if the car detects an issue.

If currently it's only asking if you want to have it send you a status/health report, and it's not stating there is an issue, it's likely just exactly that, a status report.

You can either go in to the system settings and try to figure out how to shut if off or you can review your owner's manual to find the section on disabling the health report.
