| Description of the problem | I was driving down the road and the car lost all power, was able to get it started again and then it died 5 more times. When i would get it restarted it would not go, it would jerk and sputter. Took it to a mechanic and was told there was water in where the computer was housed. They had looked up and there was a technical service bulletin about the engine/transmission driveability issues, reference number 06-14-10. They advised us that this was most likely the problem. We replaced this part for it and they said it was fine. Pulled out of the lot and went to make a turn and the car died again. |
