The sensor malfunctions (shows on dash) while driving on the freeway in rush hour slow traffic or normal traffic, rain or shine. It may come on while braking or driving over a manhole or pothole in the road. It has come on while slowing down or stationary. Bought my car in june 2019. It started coming on 3 days after purchase and several times since with the last time on november 22nd. Key. Car would not start even when the key was placed near the starter. Brake could not be pressed in order to start ignition. Key not detected sensor would come on. This happened on a few occasions days after purchase. Called dealer and informed them of the problem. I missed work due to car not starting. Issue resolves itself after several hours. Never was fixed at the dealer so it does happen again on any given day or time. |
