ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 6 MONTH PREGNANT WIFE. NO INDICATION OF IMPENDING PROBLEM. SUDDENLY THE AT OIL TEMP INDICATOR LIGHTED UP AND SPLIT SECOND I LOSS ENGINE POWER WITH STEERING BECAME STIFF. GOOD THING I WAS NOT IN THE FREEWAY YET AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER WITH RESIDUAL MOMENTUM. THIS COULD BE WORSE IF I AM PASSING THRU MY DAILY COMMUTE OF USING THE BRIDGE OR IF IT HAPPENED IN THE FREEWAY BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OF THE CAR BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THE ER-HC ERROR IN THE DASH AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE ISSUE WAS DUE TO MELTED WIRING HARNESS CONNECTING ALL THE COMPUTER SYSTEMS. THEIR ONLY REASON IS THAT IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR 133K MILES THAT'S WHY WE SAW THE ISSUE. I THINK THIS IS A RELIABILITY/SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. *TR
