Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW NOV. 2012 AND IT HAD 200 MILES ON IT. FROM ABOUT MAR/APRIL 2013 I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN 6 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM OVER THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF THAT THEY CAN NOT SEEM TO FIX. WHEN I START THE CAR OR ITS ALREADY RUNNING AND I START TO DRIVE THE "ENGINE FAULT, SERVICE NOW" COMES UP AND THE CAR GOES INTO LIMP MODE UNTIL ITS SHUT OFF AND RE-STARTED AGAIN, AT WHICH POINT ITS A 50/50 CHANCE OF WORKING RIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE DRIVEWAY WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR AS WELL AS WHEN IM DRIVING IT WILL GO INTO LIMP MODE AND NOT GET ABOVE FIRST GEAR AND IT SPUTTERS TO A STOP. I HAVE HAD MY ENGINE SENSORS CHANGED TWICE BECAUSE THEY KEPT BLOWING OUT. THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUES. *TT
