| Description of the problem | After being purchased on april 4th, 2018, with 125 miles on the vehicle, i ran the vehicle roughly 2000 miles, at which time my vehicle began having major issues. The first occasion, i was driving in bumper to bumper stop and go traffic on i25 in downtown denver, i stopped the vehicle with traffic, and at that time the car had a "computer malfunction" as i was told by the dealer, essentially killing my car, leaving me stuck in the center lane of a 5 lane highway. The second occasion was the same malfunction, i stopped at a stop sign in my neighborhood on a city street , and the car did the same thing, had a "computer malfunction" and i had to be towed to a dealer for service, the entire ecm was replaced. The third break down was the exact same malfunction again, but this time i was going 40 miles per hour. Exiting from highway 34 in greeley, co. The dash lights all lit up and my vehicle slowed itself to a stop and i was forced to pull over. |
