Description of the problem | My car started off with the engine light coming on and then soon after, as i slowed down and turned, my engine shut off, i lost all power steering, and the battery remained on. This has happened since many times and is completely random. (doesn't matter if i just started the car, i've been driving for 20 minutes, warm weather / cold weather, it just happens when it happens.) more recently, the tcs (traction control system) will turn on randomly. (i have footage of the road being 100% clear while this is on in my car.) it will not shut off once it turns on. It makes it so i can't speed up hardly at all which of course hasn't had the best outcomes on the highway. And along with that, if i'm driving and take my foot off the gas, the sputters quickly for a moment and jerks the car down as if the brakes lock for a moment. Lastly, the car recently made clicking noises and i'm having trouble with the gas filling up. (it says it's full when it's clearly not) i've taken my vehicle in before and they said they couldn't find anything wrong. I had to cancel a recent appointment due to the flooding in iowa but i'm afraid there is something far worse that they wont be able to fix, like last time. I'm sure this is a great vehicle, but i got a lemon for sure. There's currently 8,155 miles on the vehicle and i bought it new as of 10/01/2018. Clearly something is very wrong with the vehicle. |
