| Description of the problem | I had been having problems with the keyless entry not allowing me to unlock the vehicle multiple times. Then on a few occasions the vehicle wouldn't start and all the lights would flash on the dashboard. There was nothing wrong with the battery because i replaced that several times in the first months of financing the vehicle. The last incident when it stopped working i was driving and the vehicle began to slow down on its own, all the lights on the dashboard flashed, the vehicle powered off, i couldn't switch the gears, the brakes locked, and the steering wheel locked as well. Luckily, this didn't cause an accident but the vehicle did stop. I had it towed to the dealer who informed me that the key fob and powertrain control module was not working. I looked it and apparently this has already been repaired in jan 2013 before i financed the car and the vehicle must have still been having issues because i have had continual problems with it. |
