problem #1

Apr 242008

Rio 4-cyl

  • 2,616 miles
While driving on the interstate at 70 mph, vehicle speedometer and tachometer went to zero and there was no response when pressing on gas pedal. Vehicle then died and had to be restarted. Vehicle was taken to dealership. Dealership had vehicle for 1 week was unable to find anything wrong and would not replace any parts. Vehicle has yet to duplicate issue. 3 days prior to return of vehicle dealership stated they had found issues with the vehicle and something was wrong and they were going to order parts. When the dealership called stating repairs were complete they informed me that they could find nothing wrong and they had driven it 300 miles in an attempt to duplicate fault however they put less than 100 miles on vehicle.
