Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON 93 SOUTH IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHEN MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I IMMEDIATELY THREW ON MY FLASHERS WHILE OTHER CARS WERE WHIZZING BY ME AND CALLED THE STATE POLICE TERRIFIED I WOULD BE HIT AND UNABLE TO MOVE. AFTER I HUNG I UP I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED THE KEY TO OFF. AFTER A FEW MORE MINUTES UNABLE TO BEAR SITTING THERE, I TURNED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND IT STARTED. I CALLED BACK THE STATE TROOPERS AND WAS TOLD TO JUST GET THE CAR TO A SAFE SPOT AND CALL A TOW TRUCK, I HAD AAA. I DID AND HAD IT TOWED HOME. I HAD IT BROUGHT BY TOW TRUCK THE NEXT MORNING TO MY MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME I HAD A FAULTY CAM SENSOR. HE SUGGESTED I BRING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SINCE THESE WERE BEING RECALLED UP UNTIL 2003. I DID AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS JUST THE ECM THAT NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. I INSISTED THAT I WAS CONCERNED I COULDN'T GO THROUGH ANOTHER INCIDENT LIKE FRIDAY NIGHT. THEY CALLED MY MECHANIC AND CALLED ME BACK SAYING THEY WOULD REPLACE THE CAM SENSOR FOR $400. I THINK THEY SHOULD BEAR THE COST OF THE CAM SENSOR AS THIS WAS NO FAULT OF MY OWN AND COULD HAVE KILLED ME. *TR ## VIN FAILED ##
