Description of the problem | Driving home from a day trip w/ friends and when approaching light, car started bucking. When the gas petal was pushed down, the vehicle only went 20 mph and was quickly dropping speed. The red wrench appeared on the dash. We pulled over in a not so very nice part of this particular town, shut off the car. Fortunately for us, the vehicle started and we got home. I have a call to the dealership who sold the vehicle (used) to me in 2012. I am hoping to hear from them tomorrow. Prior to this happening, i explained to them that the vehicle seemed to hesitate many time while driving ; only to be told they couldn't find anything. I know of two friends who experienced this problem and the dealership repair this for free. I am hoping the same. It seems to be though, that this is a recall issue. Imagine if i would have been traveling at high speeds and a big mac truck was behind us. I wouldn't be writing this today. Thank you. *ln |
