Consumer Description

CONTROL MODULE FOR THE POWERTRAIN IS MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING PROBLEMS WITH OVERALL DRIVING VEHICLE. I WAS GETTING LUNCH AND WHILE DRIVING BACK TO THE OFFICE A WRENCH SENSOR SHOWED UP ON MY DASH. I STOPPED AND HAD TO LOOK UP WHAT THE ICON MEANT AND APPARENTLY IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE POWERTRAIN ON MY VEHICLE. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT LOOKED AT. THEY INFORMED ME IT WAS A CONTROL MODULE PROBLEM AND ORDERED A NEW ONE FOR ME.
