Crossfire

  • miles
While cruising at 55 miles per hour, an unexpected occurrence took place -?" the engine abruptly ceased to function. I found myself on a two-lane highway in the midst of a construction zone, where the highway was reduced to a single lane, flanked by barriers. In a situation devoid of power assistance, I navigated the immobile vehicle between these barriers to reach a secure location, narrowly evading a potential accident.This issue is perilous and disturbingly common among these vehicles, yet it lacks a definitive diagnosis or solution. Even the computer scans fail to pinpoint the root cause behind this disruptive problem. I had no choice but to have the vehicle towed, and an automotive technician subsequently replaced the crank position sensor, just one of the many potential culprits in this recurring issue. Remarkably, the car operated without issue for two months, only to once again shut down without warning at high speed. Then, quite unexpectedly, approximately ten minutes later, the car miraculously restarted. This issue is perilous and disturbingly common among these vehicles, yet it lacks a definitive diagnosis or solution. It is imperative to stress that this problem is widely recognized and acknowledged, with countless owners repeatedly seeking assistance from dealerships, yet the issue remains unresolved. The gravity of this situation cannot be overstated, as these vehicles are prone to sudden shutdowns while traveling at high speeds. Urgent attention and action are needed to investigate and rectify this life-threatening concern.

Cost to me was $3667.57 my son & I drive off the lot my son & I, I notice this car is staying N first gear I was crying afraid it was going to catch fire any given moment.. had 45 miles to get home from the location. My son is 18, he can verify everything. I call the dealer and he told me no way was he responsible to pay for the car. And wouldn't! I said you knew you sold me a car that was a fire hazard and didn't have a good transmission! he said nothing he could do. I take the car to gulf breeze auto in gulf breeze it's about a 20 minute drive from my house driving it slow and in first gear to get it their. The car is still in the shop, I have a cost of $3745 to get it repaired.. I was told it isn't safe to drive it will catch fire with me. And it's un-fit for the road.
