Description of the problem | 10/14/08, 10/17/08, 11/3/08, 11/7/08 - electronic failure, lost steering and brakes, car stayed running, almost got into an accident, all indicator light were on. I had to have car towed. It would restart but all light were lit. 1st time in they said it was a brake sensor and software needed to be updated. 2nd time, light would go out while driving at night, all lights came on, lost steering and brakes again. And. Wireless ignition node replaced, win module replaced, control assembly, instrument panel hvac and atc automatic temp replaced. 3rd time, i was driving down the street and the transmission shifted into 1 gear, no standard transmission either, pulled vehicle over, shut engine off and restarted. I was able to make it to the dealership, but manual shifting did not work and lights were on. Ans. Powertrain control module not communicating properly along with the tcm, test and replace pcm and flash pcm with new software. 4th time, still in shop as we speak, abs light and antiskid lights came on and would not turn off when car was restarted. They told me i could drive it, but almost getting killed 3 times in 3 weeks, i was not going to chance it. This vehicle is a lemon. Anyone want to get on board with a class action? |
