Description of the problem | Getting onto the expressway at about 55mph when the cars engine light came on. Shortly after the wrench light came on the car thudded forward and lost power. Very scary, easily could have caused an accident. We were able to start the car immediately after and start going but the car wouldn't make it a mile before losing power again. Next day took it to the dealership to find the part was on back order and it may be weeks before the dealer can get it in. A couple weeks and $525 later we are not happy campers. This should be a safety recall. |
