This is bit of vehicle owner neglect and lack of knowledge on what the component does. More specifically what happens when it does not work properly. The sensor had been bad for about 6 months and it was not acted on. Also turbo charging issues are problematic and more frequent than originally thought of. Also repair shops have a vested interest to get the most from repairs. This can be seen as unconsumer-like but that is business.

Long and short Turbocharging performs an enhancement to acceleration. The vehicle is and was running but did not break down from the repair. It was a diagnostic to Solve an engine sensor "check engine light". Now because of the term of the loan this vehicle is no longer proving a financial advantage as originally thought of when it comes to size and total price. One note this vehicle got at least 25K per year of driving due to extensive commuting which is a major contributing factor.
