Consumer Description

DRIVING TO WORK FROM LUNCH MY CAR STALLED AND THEN COMPLETELY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND THEN MY CAR STARTED TO MOVE AGAIN BUT IT WAS SLUGGISH AND SLOW. IT WONT GO PAST 45 MILES BEFORE SLOWING ALL THE WAY DOWN. I HAD GOT MY CAR RECALLED THREE DAYS BEFORE, THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION AT THE TIME OF THE RECALL. NOW THREE DAY LATER MY CARS STUCK IN LIMP MODE SHOWING A P0326 CODE.
