| Description of the problem | Check engine light would come on intermittently the last 5 months. Took to the dealership and auto zone for a code reader a few times and they were unable to pinpoint the exact problem because the engine light would disappear or multiple codes would appear. The vehicle would at times seem to lose power especially going up hill whether it was on a city street or highway. I finally was able to get a true diagnostic test done on 6/15/19 when the engine light was still showing on my dashboard. They code reader gave p0128 so i ended up having to get my thermostat gauge replaced and total repairs with diagnostic were $309. 15. I found it frustrating and unsafe that for 5 months the engine light would intermittently appear. After a trip out of town and drove a total of close to 1200 miles, the light stayed on. At this point, it is when i decided to take it in to the dealership before the engine light disappeared. I also noticed that the seatbelt warning light would not always alert if a passenger did not have theirs on. I tried to go back and select the seatbelt problem selection, but it would not allow me to. |
