Consumer Description

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALL OF A SUDDEN WITH NO WARNING AND CAR STOPPED IN MIDDLE OF ROAD. I PUT IT BACK INTO GEAR AND STARTED IT AGAIN - IT DID THIS 4 TIMES WITHIN A 2 MILE RANGE. MY BROTHER PUT SOME TRANSMISSION FLUID IN IT WHICH SEEMED TO HELP A LITTLE BIT. LUCKILY AN AUTO PARTS STORE WAS NEAR BY AND I MADE IT OVER THERE FOR THEM TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK ON IT. CAME BACK WITH BAD CRANK POSITION SENSOR. I FINALLY MADE IT HOME AND MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO GET IT SERVICED THE NEXT DAY. MADE IT TO DEALERSHIP WITH A LOT OF PRAYER BECAUSE IT WAS 15 MILES AWAY. I GUESS THE TRANSMISSION FLUID HELPED A BIT TOO. THEY REPLACED THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR AT $170 AND A WHOLE DAY OUT OF WORK. TODAY I GOT A RECALL NOTICE ON IT - 5 MONTHS LATER. YEAH. *JB
