| Description of the problem | I was driving straight toward highway 287 at 65m speed, there was no snow no rain normal traffic no cars close to me, all the sudden esp indicator went off, accident collision prevention indicator went off on my dashboard and the vehicle speed went down to 30m, 20m and i was not able to bring the speed back, the vehicle stopped responding. I pulled over called road assistance, i turned the engine off, start again i was able to drive at 20 - 30mile, when i entered highway 46 on the traffic light the vehicle was not responding at all, i kept pressing the gas pedal, until the car start to drive again up to 25m. Took it to the dealership workshop, they was faults in the sensor and gas pedal they fixed.. I took the vehicle after one week check engine indicator went off again. Took it again to the dealership workshop. I consider what happened with this vehicle is real safety issue where all the sudden you can't control the speed anytime anywhere. |
