Consumer Description

CAR STALLS WHEN IT STOPS, SHUTTERING WHILE IT DRIVES, THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP TWICE KNOW. THE SECOND TIME IT WAS LEFT OUTSIDE THE AUTO SHOP AND IT RAINED OVER NIGHT. WHEN THE MECHANICS WENT TO START IT AND LOOK AT IT THEY NOTICED THERE WAS WATER DRIPPING OUT OF OUR ECM. THEY DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE WERE DESIGN FLAWS IN THE ECM AND THAT IT WASN'T SEALED RIGHT. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL BUT THERE NEVER HAS BEEN. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE ARE ALL SORTS OF PEOPLE REPORTING THE EXACT SAME THING. *TR
