| Description of the problem | While driving at about 45 mph the engine light came on with the warning to take car to the dealer for service immediately. I did go, immediately, and while the service manager could not tell me exactly why, i was charged $600 to replace pistons. About two months later while driving slowly in a parking lot, i started to turn onto the driveway and the car simply stopped, went dark, and the steering became impossible. After trying several times and then sitting for about 5 minutes the car started again. It was a leased car that i intended to buy for my daughter. I turned the car back in and did not buy it. |
