| Vsa Warning Light On problems |
Service engine light came on along with the message propulsion power reduced while driving on the freeway. I pulled off to the side and read what the warning light meant and decided to head home. I stopped on the way home at the grocery store and when I came back out and started the car the warnings were still there and then it wouldn't shift into gear. I kept getting a message that conditions were not right to shift and please put the car in park. (it would go into neutral) when I tried to shut the car off it wouldn't shut off. I finally got it to shut off by opening the door when I was shutting it off. On star told me I was having a "catastrophic failure and the car would need to be towed. The two truck driver called me 15 minutes later and asked me to make sure I could get the car into neutral. I started that car again, all the warmings came back on except it did allow me to shift into gear. I drove it home and backed into my drive. The two truck arrived and when we started the car again the warning lights were all on but again it did shift into gear. He towed it to the dealership.
While driving the speed limit of 45 miles per hour, the car jolted and lights in the car went on. Transmission light, brake light, stability track light, service park assist light, service steering light, etc. This caused me a challenge in driving the car on a two lane road because the steering became more difficult and there was not a big enough shoulder to pull onto the side of the road. Bring car into dealer and find that the front wheel bearing and hub need to be replaced, the first time this occurred was when the brand new car was about a year old (we did have 18311 miles on the vehicle). About a year later (15 months later), the same incident occurred and the same parts needed to be replaced again. However, we were outside of the warranty due to mileage and they no longer wanted to replace the broken parts under warranty. The same parts should not go out year after year on a brand new car! we asked if there was a recall on parts and were told no. The part numbers on both invoices - sl-n-washer (04710-c); sl-n- nut (06056-bc); sl-n-washer (06056-c); sl-*-n- bearing (060311-c).
