Description of the problem | "takata recall" i purchased this vehicle in july 2016. In november 2017, the vehicle began stalling and shutting off completely while i was driving. It loses power and a the screen tells me to shift to p to start vehicle. Sometimes it would start right away, other times it would take several tries for it to restart. There was no specific time when it would occur. I could just be pulling out of parking space or coming off the expressway after driving 30 miles or so. It would happen when i was turning left, right or going straight. I took the car in and was told that i needed a throttle service that, of course, was not covered under my warranty. They said that they "recommend" a throttle service every 25,000 to 30,000 miles. I was at 38,000 miles. A recommended service should not cause your vehicle to completely cut off while driving. So, i paid $184. 00 for the throttle service. Three days later, the vehicle started jerking terribly while i was driving, parking, reversing, etc. The rpm dial would spike up to 3. 5 or so, but it was constantly jerking while driving. It felt like i was driving over a large graveled road the entire time i was driving. I took the car back in to the dealer and was initially told that it was my transmission which was covered under my extended power train warranty. However, after i left the vehicle, i was called and told that it was not my transmission, but it was a bad coil and spark plug. This, of course, was not covered by my warranty. I was charged $443 for this. I am currently waiting to see what goes wrong next. As i have only had it from the dealership for 2 days now. |
