All Electronic Stability Control Esc Complaints
TOOK CAR TO WALMART ONE NIGHT AND BEGINS TO OVERHEAT AFTER NAPA TOLD ME IT HAD NO LEAKS. CAR OVERHEATS I PULL ASIDE AND TURN IT OFF FOR A BIT I NOTICED THE CAR WOULD CRANK BUT HESITATE TO START. ONCE GOT IT TO START IT WOULD ACCELERATE BUT AT LOW RPMS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND I NOTICED CAR SHAKING AND WEIRD NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. ONCE STARTED CAR SQUEAKED AND MAD TERRIBLE NOISE. CAR DID NOT TURN BACK ON AND DID NOT MAKE IT HOME. CRANKS AND RARE WHEN STARTS, CHARGED BATTERY BUT DRAINS, DOESN'T MAINTAIN CHARGE. WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF EXHAUST AND WHEN CAR WOULD STALL IT WOULD TURN OFF, NOW THEFT SYSTEM LIGHT IS ON. NOW CAR WONT EVEN CRANK OR TURN ON. ONCE I GOT IT TO TURN ON WITH TROUBLE IT WOULD TURN OFF ONCE PUT INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE. TURNED...
THE THEFT SYSTEM LIGHT STAYS ON AND AFFECTED DRIVING MY VEHICLE. I WOULD GO TO LEAVE FOR WORK OR GO TO THE STORE OR GET GAS, ETC AND WHEN I WOULD GO TO START MY CAR WITH THE NEW REPAIRED KEY BY MAKING THE HOLE SMALLER IN THE PLASTIC TOP OF THE KEY THAT WAS DONE WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE IGNITION SYSTEM RECALL THE THEFT SYSTEM ACTIVATED AND I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK WHO SHOWED ME HOW TO "RESET" THE THEFT SYSTEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES AND I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR IN AND HAVE THE IGNITION REPLACED WHICH COSTS ME APPROX $200!!! OBVIOUSLY THE IGNITION RECALL DID NOT FIX MY CAR PROPERLY. I WANT REIMBURSEMENT FOR HAVING TO REPLACE THE IGNITION
THEFT SYSTEM, REPLACED IGNITION CYLINDER AND SWITCH REPLACED BCM. REPROGRAMMED THEFT SYSTEM. *TR
