Description of the problem | Purchased car august 29 2015. On september 15 2015 after fueling and turning on car the brake, abs, traction control and service engine light appeared. Was unable to accelerate vehicle out of gas station parking lot. Lights went away but intermittently would come on while driving which caused sudden inability to accelerate while driving in traffic. Vehicle feels like it cannot switch and gear and is being pushed back. When this happens the resr lights stop working so drivers behind could crash into me because of sudden decrease in speed. Took to dealer september 22. Said they fixed control module. But problem continues |
