Description of the problem	My engine was replaced at 118,119 and equipped with knock sensor saftey software to avoid another engine failure. At 139,505 my knock sensor software activated with. No advance warning as i was making an accelerated left turn in front of 3 lanes of traffic. I was in a stationary position with my left blinker on judging when to turn left in front of westward moving traffic. As i choose the moment to quickly accelerate and make the turn in front of traffic the knock sensor was activated, putting the car in limp home mode not allowing me to accelerate to saftey.
