| 2010 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | I WAS ON THE LEFT LANE GOING 55MPH ON A FREEWAY UP A SLIGHT INCLINE WHEN I NOTICED I WAS LOSING SPEED. PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL A LITTLE HARDER THINKING I NEEDED TO COMPENSATE FOR THE INCLINE, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I NOTICED A YELLOW WRENCH APPEAR ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DASH DISPLAY. I HAD THE GAS PEDAL TO THE GROUND AND CAR STILL WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BUT DECELERATED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 30MPH WHERE IT STOPPED DECELERATING AND MAINTAINED THIS SPEED. I HAD TO MANEUVER AT 30MPH OFF THE FREEWAY TO GET INTO THE RIGHT SHOULDER LANE. TURNED THE CAR OFF, THEN BACK ON. YELLOW WRENCH NO LONGER VISIBLE AND CAR OPERATED NORMALLY. THIS POSES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. LUCKILY IT WAS NOT DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND THE CARS BEHIND ME YIELDED TO MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND LET ME GET TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER LANE. *TR |
| 2012 | ENGINE | THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD ILLUMINATED. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING IT IN THAT DAY. DRIVING AT 45 MILES AN HOUR, AGAIN, WARNING CHIME SOUNDED, PULL OVER SAFELY WARNING CAME ON, ENGINE SHUT OFF, BRAKES AND ACCELERATOR DISENGAGED, AND ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT CAR OFF. I WAS TOO FAR FROM DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT TOWED AND WAS WORKING (I TRAVEL FOR MY JOB). CALLED DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID TO BRING IT IN. ABLE TO RESTART IT AFTER 2-3 ATTEMPTS. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. NO CODE FOR NO START OR SHUT OFF BUT CODE FOR FUEL CANISTER. PROBLEM ADDRESSED, FIXED, AND CAR RETURNED TO ME. COULD NOT ACTIVATE, CAR RETURNED WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO ВїїHAVE IT TOWED HERE AND DO NOT RESTART IT WHEN IT BREAKS DOWN. AFTER, THIS INCIDENT, I TRADED CARS WITH MY BROTHER (WHO WORKS 5 MILES FROM HOME) SO THAT HE COULD EASILY HAVE IT TOWED IF IT WERE TO OCCUR AGAIN. *TR |
