Description of the problem | Car just shut off while pulling out into a busy intersection, would not restart. The starter would engage but it would not start the car... Car engine would sputter continuously. Loss of power, and electricity. Almost caused me to get hit from the side while my 2 kids were in back seat!!!!!! The other car slammed on breaks stopping mere inches from the driver-side. A 5 car pile up behind him occurred due to this matter! A gentleman pushed me to the side of the road where i waited for a tow truck. Before the tow truck arrived i researched problems this vehicle only to find that i'm not the only one that has had this happen!!!!! After the car was turned off for a while, i tried to start it and it would start after several attempts and my pumping the gas pedal to keep it at a idle until the engine caught on that it was supposed to be running. I avoided the tow fine but drove my car to the autozone 1/2 mile up the road (same side of the road... Too scared to cross intersections). There was no diagnostic code found, which come to find out is also common when the tipm is faulty! Every time 3 out of 5 times i try to start my car i have to go through the same thing. This car is not safe and it needs to be fixed asap. I have a family and a job that need this car to operate efficiently. |
