Description of the problem | I purchased this vehicle used from a dealership 27 days ago. Two days ago i went to restart car after a short drive and the car did not crank, dash remained black, key was stuck in ignition. My daughter in law told me to pop the hood and upon wiggling battery cables freed the key from stuck position and i was able to start the car and drive home. This is when i learned this is not the first time of occurrence. I was hospitalized several days after purchase and my kids used the car. They neglected to tell me twice they lost power while in motion and car shut off. The first time was while exiting off the freeway. The second was while making turn after idling at a red light several minutes. Both times the vehicle power steering ceased and steering became difficult. On another occasion they experienced a no start similar to mine, a short drive, then car was parked and shut off for a short time , no crank at restart, black dash, stuck key. I had previously mentioned to dealer tech that car fails to keep current date and time. Each day i note it has reverted back again to the year 2010 and an incorrect time. A reset like click in engine compartment several minutes after turning off engine is frequently heard. Radio and dash lights have flashed while car is in motion on several occasions now. |
