Consumer Description
On June 14th, I wrote a complaint of having issues of my car stopping on me on June 6. Thinking it was the fuel system, since that was the message that O'Reilly's gave me. I was out of commission till July 16th, when I got the fuel vapor leak detection pump & the canister purge valve replaced. That same day my car ran fine with 2 times within the travel back home, of my car having issues starting up again. I managed to make it to O'Reilly's to see what the issue may have been now. I was told that again the message read evap leak & now a new warning of the crankshaft senor. I was able to still drive home and let the car rest. The next day, July 17th, I was on my way to work and a block before I was to get on the freeway, my car shut off on me again! I managed to get to the gas station. I was only 10 minutes from the house and it took 3 hours of stopping & going on a busy street and only getting so far back up the street, that I again had to be towed back to the house. Where my car has remained parked since then. The warning lights are still the 'Check Engine" & now the "Electric Throttle Control Warning" Two weekends ago, a family member helped jumpstart it, it was running fine until I took the cables off and my car turned off again. I just came on the site just to see if there may have been another recall for my car. And it turns out the very issue is the crankshaft senor that was recalled in 2017! I've only had this vehicle since January 2022, and between the 2 owners & dealerships before, this should of been fixed! My vehicle was made in May of 2016 which was apart of the recall group! And this issue is showing up literally 7 years later. I don't know what the next process is for how to get a recall fixed, especially since my car is not drivable! Also, I don't know what else may go wrong after this second issue is to be corrected. I'm unsure if this vehicle has been fully inspected before selling it! I don't feel safe in driving in its uncertainty!
