At this time, the engine light was on with no wrench light. Car accelerated fine so i…

After the dealer checked it they assured me nothing was mechanically wrong. Off and on the problem persisted, but on a lesser scale, but there were no failures indicated in the computer. On may 23, 2013 i was traveling in rush hour traffic…

One night i was driving in a residential area and my car started to rumble, it shook back and forth and the engine started to splutter. Then, the engine choked and the car stalled in the middle of the street. The car shut itself off. Luckily, this happened before i entered the freeway. The check engine light went on and at first i thought it might have been a battery problem. However, after the car shut off i tried…

When refueling the vehicle, a strong fuel odor is present and about a quart of fuel leaks from under the vehicle. This leak does not come from a spillage at the pump handle and filler tube. This happens every time i refuel. Obviously this is a dangerous fire hazard! *tt
