Driving the vehicle on the road and it loses power and wont let you drive over 30 mph. The vehicle also would not start. Had to let the car sit for 15 seconds then try to start it again for it to start. Then it would cut off while stopped at a traffic light. Dealership fixed the pistons and added a new battery still had a problem and now they replaced accel pedal sensor. And now drives a little funny.

I pulled over an restarted the vehicle, it did not gain full engine power back. I was able to slowly make it to my destination. The next morning (kids in tow)…

On friday december 29, 2017 as we were driving home we almost re-ended another vehicle in a city street at the speed of 55 mph due to car brakes locking and hard to press down, luckily hard we were able fo brake by pushing hard enough. Also sensor have failed twice- three times in heavy traffic and will brake on their own without any car being directly in front of me which is scary and could cause a major accident…
