| Description of the problem | Check engine light continues to come on at random. When it does, problems accelerating. Car will not accelerate past 20 or sometimes car "sputters" jerking a lot. Sometimes at red lights, rail road crossings, anything really where the car is stopped, car will not resume driving and car sounds like it is in neutral and i am reving it up. Electronic dash puts a bracket over each gear, p r n d, all at once. When engine light is on it is on for a period of days. When i turn the car on and put it in to drive it makes the most horrible sound as if i backed into a wall and jerks. Sometimes on the highway when the light is on it's as if i smell something burning through my air vents. Everytime i take it to the dealer or any shop just for a diagnosis it's just my luck that the light turns off and they tell me my car is fine. This car needs to be recalled from looking at the complaints!!! *tt |
