Description of the problem | I was driving to work, the vehicle had only 800 miles on it and both the "malfunction indicator light" and the auto stop/start light came on. When i stopped at a stop sign, the auto stop/start made a warning noise and a message came up saying "auto stop start not available have it serviced". It continues to do this. When driving down a steep hill the car races as if it isn't going to slow down and twice while climbing a steep hill the vehicle had no power, i couldn't get the vehicle to go any faster no matter how hard i pushed down on the accelerator. In these instances, the rpms go as high as 4000 and stay there and don't decrease. Twice i have had to pull over and shut the car off to stop this and "reset" the vehicle (which the mechanic of the dealership told me to do). The instances where the auto stop/start warning comes on are when i stop at a stop sign and when i am driving on relatively flat road going between 30 & 40 mph. The "racing" occurs going downhill between 50 & 60 mph. |
