| Description of the problem | Around october 9, i tried to turn on the ignition as usual with the key fob. The engine would't turn, so i recharged the battery. After 10 minutes, it finally cranked. The battery is good, however, so i replaced the battery in the fob. On october 19, i used the key fob and all kinds of indicator lights came on. When i placed the car in reverse, several light indicators (service engine, check transmission, etc.) and it was like something inside the engine dropped as if the car shifted into another gear. The 'r' and the 'd' blinked steadily. I called and alerted the service department at brewbaker dealership, but the only availability was the following monday. By fate, the car began to operate better. For nearly a week, the ignition started to improve although it would take two tries. On the morning of october 29, the same problems reoccured from october 19. Instead of going to work, i drove the car straight to the dealership. They kept it overnight for service personnel to analyze the problem. In research of recalls, i noticed that my car is not on the recall list although the descriptions of defects fit what my car is experiencing. |
