| Description of the problem | First my car was having problems starting. I heard a clicking sound when trying to turn the car over. Took out the key and tried again and it started right up. Took battery to get tested, battery was fine. A few weeks later while driving in a parking lot the car turned off on me. It has turned off on several occasions at very low speeds. I was driving straight. This didn't trouble me until i was driving 45 mph and the vehicle cut off. Luckily no one was behind me as there are no shoulders on the road where i live and i was able to stop and restart the car. Have taken the car into the dealership and they are unable to replicate any of what i've described. They do believe it is the module and have indicated that the parts were recalled but not for my vin. We are concerned that the vehicle is a safety hazard and as i continue to put mileage on my vehicle that it will just get worst. Many people online complain about the same issues and their vins were also not covered. |
