ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AFTER LONG DRIVES AND HOT WEATHER. AFTER SEVERAL INSPECTIONS BY MY MECHANIC, I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW TURBO. I HAVE 147,000 MILES ON THE CAR. HE TOLD ME MY CAR WOULD JUST STOP AT SOME POINT. IS THIS REALLY THE PROBLEM? THE ENGINE LIGHT IS SCARY. IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY.
I PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM A CERTIFIED DEALER IN 2016. MULTIPLE TIMES, THE VEHICLE LOST ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND MAINTAINS ITS CURRENT SPEED. AS IT IT BECAME SLUGGISH. YESTERDAY, ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK, THE ENGINE STALLED SUDDENLY.
