| Description of the problem | Purchased this car used with 16k miles in sept 2018. Stopped at an intersection and when trying to pull out the engine would not respond to the gas pedal. Engine remained at an idle even after flooring the gas pedal several times. Almost got hit!! I recycled the key several times and finally it worked. I took to the dealer and got the " no problem found " now i experience a rough idle and a strange feeling in the brake pedal when braking. Today i started the car and the engine would not go over 3000 rpms. Cycled the key and it was ok. I'm afraid to drive this car for fear it may kill me! Please help. |
