Consumer Description

WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN AT 15MPH THE CAR LOCKED UP AND I COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL, PRESS THE BRAKE, AND THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T EVEN ACCELERATE WHEN IT ROLLED TO A STOP. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIT UP AND STAYED LIT UP. THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE AND WASN'T MOVING. I TOOK A VIDEO OF MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS AND THE CAR IN DRIVE AND IT WASN'T MOVING. ALSO SHOWN IN THE VIDEO I TOOK I SHOW ALL THE LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE DASH. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR, WIFE AND TWO KIDS. I AM VERY CONCERNED SINCE THIS OUR DAILY DRIVER AND ALWAYS HAS OUR CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE AND POSSIBLY CAUSE US TO GET IN A VERY BAD ACCIDENT. I ALSO COULD NOT PUT THE CAR INTO PARK. I HAD TO PRESS THE ON OFF BUTTON AND SHUT THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF AND RESTART IT FOR IT TO DO ANYTHING. BUT BOTH TIMES IT HAPPENED LUCKILY NO VEHICLES WERE IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING TO STOP THE CAR IT HAD TO ROLL TO A STOP AND BOTH TIMES IT WAS AT 15-20MPH. IT WAS IN A STREET TURNING OUT OF A DEVELOPMENT. I HAVE FOUND IN FORUMS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THE ISSUE AND THAT SOMEONE HAD THEIR CRANK SHAFT CENSOR REPLACED AND HADN'T HAD ANY ISSIES FOR SEVERAL MONTHS SINCE, BUT THEIRS WAS OCCURING UP TO 10X A WEEK BEFORE THAT REPLACEMENT. THERE WERE SEVERAL OTHER AFFECTED PARTS I WAS UNABLE TO SELECT... IT SEEMED YOU WERE ONLY ABLE TO SELECT 3 AFFECTED PARTS.
