Tamara recall transmission,valve cover,brake sensor, throttle sensor , this car has gave me problems after problems , every month it's literallg something new I have about 20 pages of receipts.
The check engine light came on in the vehicle. I took it to the dealership where it was purchased to get it inspected and have the code read. They said that the code was due to the brake pedal position sensor and it needed to be repaired for approximately $500. The vehicle was just barely out of warranty when this problem occurred. Many times, with the engine running and in the idle state with the brake down, the engine will lurch forward as if it had a jolt of energy. This happens intermittently and on different elevations and locations while the car is stopped. It worries me that the car will lurch forward while stopped and hit the car in front of me, which is why it is a safety concern. I feel as thought the manufacturer should be responsible for the costs to repair this brake sensor and it should be considered a recall on the vehicle. I have read of many other customers with the same issue on the vehicle model and year.
