problem #2

Forenza 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 250 miles
The car just dies on us in traffic for no apparent reason and then we have to let it set for about 20 minutes and it will start rigth back up. We have had it in at the dealers to be fixed on 2 different ocassions and they hook it up to their diagnostic tools and it shows no defects.they said they thought it was because of the cruise control they had installed aftermarket. So they removed that and told us it was fixed. The very next day it started dying on us again.

Forenza 4-cyl

While driving 30 mph, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle had been to the dealer three times for this problem. Once the dealer replaced a fuse, but that didn't fix the problem. The dealer found a ECM fuse at the ip fuse blocked open. (ECM, eng fuse block, tcm, ip fuse) the shifting transaxle harness was rerouted between the firewall and connector C206 secure harness.
