Consumer Description
WHEN COMING TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT, THERE WAS AN ENGINE FAULT WORKSHOP WARNING MESSAGE AND A BLINKING YELLOW GLOW PLUG WARNING LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, THE CAR FELT SLUGGISH, NEEDING EXTRA THROTTLE THAN USUAL TO GET TO 35MPH. AFTER STOPPING AT THE NEXT RED LIGHT, THE CAR WAS STUCK IN FIRST GEAR (ONLY 30 SECONDS AFTER THE WARNING LIGHT), AND I COULD ONLY GET TO 10MPH IN A 35MPH ZONE. TURNING ON MY HAZARD BLINKERS, I WAS LUCKY THAT THERE WAS A DEDICATED LEFT TURN LANE INTO A PARKING LOT, OTHERWISE I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER FROM THE LEFT LANE BEFORE THE ENGINE DIED. *TR
