Description of the problem | On saturday morning after pulling out of a parking space my car stalled and lost power steering. I put it in park and restarted engine it was fine. Went to other store, parked it and the same thing happened once i returned to leave. When i got home i shut off the ignition switch and after app. 8 seconds i heard a sound coming from behind the fuse box area or at least behind that area . Sounded electrical "vooop, vooop" i also noticed when going up an incline around 30 mph the car had a huge delay, i had to push the gas pedal practically to the floor, and than it kicked in and zoomed off. I felt like i was loosing power and than the car took off on its own! Crazy feeling!!! I feel as though the computer that is in charge of the car is out of wrack and the car has become inconsistent to drive because of what could occur next. I also lost brakes this winter while driving due to brake booster failure which eventually became a recall. I was scared then and i'm afraid this incident may result in something bigger and worse. :( |
