| Description of the problem | Driving my 2010 milan at a speed of 50mph, i felt a sudden shake and loss of engine power. The car slowed down and i was able to get to the side of the road after slowing down one way traffic behind me. The engine & wrench light came on and felt like the car was going to automatically shut off, i quickly turned off my ignition. I waited 10 mins and the car started, made it almost to my house until it gave out on me again, and again. I called the dealership where i purchased the car 7 mo ago (used), and they said to bring it in. I had previously complained to the dealer after 2 days of purchase that the car was vibrating, which they looked at it and said it was ok. Im surprised they didn't pay attention to this the first time around. I will be bringing my car to my mechanic to have it checked. Not sure what he will say or find, but i will update this info. I hope the manufacturer will read this info and see that there is obvious a big problem with this. Too many complaints, now something has to be done! I don't feel safe in my own car now... |
