Consumer Description

CAR RANDOMLY NOT STARTING HAD SOLENOIDS REPLACED AND FUEL PUMP. IT STARTED A FEW TIMES THEN WOULDN'T START ACTS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BUT NOT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL. HAD DIAGNOSTIC READING DONE WHEN IT WAS DOING THIS THE CODE READING WAS VEHICLE SUBMERSION. THE MECHANIC ASKED IF IT HAD EVER BEEN FLOODED LIKE IN DEEP WATER. NEVER HAD BEEN BUT THAT WAS THE CODE READING. HE REDID DIAGNOSTICS DIFFERENT CODES THEN CAME UP SHOWING OTHER CRAZY THINGS. NONE OF THESE WERE CORRECT. ANYWAY LONG STORY SHORT 3 DIFFERENT GARAGES HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO DO. I TRADED THE CAR FOR A NEW ONE BUT I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE ALOT OF PEOPLE I'VE TALKED TO WITH THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL CAR AROUND THE SAME MILEAGE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM MY CAR HAD 73000 MILES. SOMETIMES IT'S SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS SOMETHING FAULTY IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM THAT'S NOT SHOWING UP UNTIL A FEW YEARS AFTER PURCHASE. I HAVE RECEIPTS OF REPAIRS AND PHONE NUMBERS TO GARAGES.
