| 2004 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO THE FREEWAY, AT APPROX. 55MPH, IN VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH MANY BIG-RIGS IN THE MIX, THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND BEGAN TO SHUDDER/MISS OUT WHEN ACCELERATING. I HAD TO QUICKLY NAVIGATE OVER 3 LANES OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC TO AVOID BEING REAR-ENDED. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE SLOWLY TO A REPAIR SHOP, BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT REV ABOVE 2200 RPM. THE SERVICE SHOP HAS TRIED 4 TIMES TO REPAIR THE CAR, EACH TIME REPLACING VARIOUS SENSORS THAT WERE INDICATED BY THE ENGINE COMPUTER. AFTER EACH REPAIR, THE CAR WOULD RUN FINE FOR 2-3 DAYS BEFORE HAVING THE SAME FAILURE. IT IS STILL NOT REPAIRED. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR |
