Around 80,000 miles my car stopped accelerating and appeared to stay in 1st gear (i drive an automatic). luckily, i was driving on a residential street. then the check engine light, the traction light, and a red lightning bolt light turn on. when i took the car to the dealership they diagnosed the car needs a new throttle body, wiring, and a new battery. the battery ended up failing shortly after i brought it into the shop.
Takata recall it is dealing with the trasmission temperature. driving with or without the air conditioning on and cruise control for a period of time of a speed of 70. the light comes on the car begins to make a whining noise and the car begins to lose speed and power. the temperature light comes on and it is not overheating,i have to pull over cut vehicle off. for 5 or more minutes then continue on until it starts over again. this has happened multiple times. no one can figure out what is wrong with the car. i took to dealership and they said they can't tell me what is wrong with out the light being on at the moment i bring it there, the light comes on and the vehicle shuts down no possible way to even drive it when this happens, i have had numerous people trouble shoot and seems like they are just taking my money and not solving this issue, it seems to be a factory issue and needs to be fixed, being on the highway at a fast rate of speed and loosing power is unsafe. i will be looking for another vehicle. 1 affected product
