I took it to the local place that Segway says is a dealer - http://mmtran.com/

Of course, the local branch office doesn't actually have anybody who knows anything, so they sent it to their main office. That office tried, but couldn't figure out what was wrong, so they sent it to Segway.

I just got (in August, by telephone) a repair estimate of over $1,800. They said they needed to replace 2 wiring harnesses, a circuit board, some other things, and the handlebar. Note: it was working fine just before it shut down.

I told them "no, just send it back". I wonder what shape it will be in when (if) it returns.

That sounds like a list of possible parts that could cause the problem. For instance, a list of everything in the steering control path. Would like to see how they troubleshoot.

Do they replace a harness with a mockup part to see if that fixes it? Then install a new harness. Or just shotgun it as there is no chance of a repeat write-up since everything was replaced? Unless they replace everything on the wrong wheel as in the above example
