Description of the problem | My car started smelling like burning plastic and then it completed shut off. Thankfully i was already in a turning lane when this happened. I only had 60k miles on the car at that time. Seemed like after my engine was replaced my windows stopped rolling up. Then my fuel pump went out. I noticed that it felt like someone was pressing on my brake as i was trying to go and then my traction control light would come on. We fixed this. Now it not even a year later and its doing it all over again. This is not safe as people are behind me when this happens. |
