Consumer Description

I HAD BEEN DRIVING MY CAR FOR ONE HOUR. I MADE A QUICK STOP AT MY HOUSE TO PICK SOMETHING UP. I PULLED BACK INTO THE STREET AND STARTED TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD WHEN MY ENGINE SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I HAD TO PUSH MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS BY MYSELF AND A TOW TRUCK WERE UNABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND IT HAD TO BE TOWED. AFTER EXTENSIVE TROUBLESHOOTING, THE DEALER DETERMINED MY ENGINE CONTROL MODULE HAD FAILED AND HAD SHUT ALL POWER TO MY FUEL INJECTORS. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT TRAVELING VERY FAST AT THE TIME NOR WAS THERE ANY SURROUNDING TRAFFIC. THIS COST ~$2000 TO REPAIR.
