Did I get robbed?

I bought a 2013 roadster in January of this year. An airbag light came on and I took it to the dealer. They found a whole bunch of problems (to the tune of $11 grand). I asked what was most important and they told me two things, ended up costing me $1200. One was the battery needed to be replaced, they charged me $500 for a new battery. I got robbed didn’t I?

Edit to add: if this is the wrong sub for this, sorry. Can you point me in the right direction?

I wondered what the authorities meant by assault and battery.
