Description of the problem | While driving 45mph, epc and engine lights came on and car suddenly decellerated, causing traffic behind me to drive off the side of the road to avoid hitting me. Fortunately it was on a curve with enough room to avoid a multi car accident. Then my car accelerated to normal and i parked it and shut it off. When i restarted it, it quietly lost power and stalled in reverse only. A few hours later i started it and the warning lights were off and the car was towed to a shop where no error codes were showing in order for them to fix it and it seemed to be operating normal. So, i drive it home but this intermittently and suddenly reoccurs. And each time i am told that there are no error codes showing so there is nothing they can do (or like i'm imagining it in other words). It seems that after the car sits, whatever is winky, resets by itself or something... Until it happens again. I am attaching a pic of the epc and engine light to prove this happens, even though they are off by the time it gets to service. Tow today took 3 hours to arrive. |
