Description of the problem | After coming to a full stop at an intersection, i accelerated to enter the intersection and turn right. Almost immediately as i pulled into the intersection, the car stalled as though it had died. I continued to press on the accelerator and after 3 to 4 seconds, the car lurched forward, with fuel feed working normally. I took the car to my local dealer where i bought the car for inspection. They took the car in for testing and said they could not find anything wrong. This problem persisted, with the incidents being infrequent. I reported this problem each of the next few times the problem recurred. Each time i asked if others had reported the same problem. Each time i was told there were no such complaints, and that they could not find a reason for my problem. Finally, i left the vehicle at the dealer for several days with the understanding that they would drive the car frequently, trying to duplicate my problem. After several days, they called to say they had experienced the problem as i had reported it, and they had fixed it. I asked what was done, and the agent could/would not specify what the cause was, but they wrote on the invoice that they had reprogrammed tcm with tsb#11-at-011-1. I then again queried about other complaints, and he said that there had been other complaints after all, and this should fix the problem. However, i have since experienced the problem again and fear that an accident is possible. The latest: they are taking my vehicle in this thursday for a major diagnosis "to try to find the problem"., again. |
