| Description of the problem | One month ago i was driving on the expressway when my car, that had never given me anything but usual minor problems, suddenly stopped while running at low speed. I panicked, but managed to pull over before it completely stopped running. I managed to turned it on once more but it was not running the same. It appeared it was going to shut off when slowing down again. It did. Fortunately no one was hurt. I immediately took it to the dealer who explained there was a problem with the sensor. They could only recap a sensor but would need more extensive and expensive work to see if there was anything wrong with the computer. Two days later, i learned of a manufacture? S recall for my make of car. It was a sensor problem that made the engine shut off when driving at low speeds. I concluded my car had to among those recalled. Now i learned, the year of my car is not included, but the years surrounding are. |
