My cars battery light keeps coming on and then it starts going over the 4000 rpm point and not going more than 20mph and then dies. . . I've replaced alternator and battery both 4 times in 4 months and it keeps happening.
Mil illuminates indicating cam shaft position senor and multiple other codes at start up or highway speeds. This also cuts off the stability control and puts the car in ,imp mode. The car will also stall without warning at highway speeds creating an unsafe condition. Dealership currently evaluating issue for cam shaft phaser failure. This occurs at least once a week however the most recent incidence on 6/14/2019 resulted in the car stalling while turning resulting in loss of power steering and braking. The code always resets after a driving cycle is completed but comes back in a day or so. It is my understanding that early 3. 6 l engines for 2011 had an issue with cam shaft phaser but no recall has been issued for my vehicle.
Takata recall.
Need to replace the transmission cooler lines because of leakage and not being able to drive.
I was driving on the road during midnight, my battery sensor turned on 5 minutes later, I had multiple sensors turn on simultaneously. The abs sensor, airbag, anti -traction as soon as I realized what was going on. I was merging to the emergency lane. I tried to push on the gas pedal and was not even able to accelerate due to the lack of power. I was worried but I was able to make it safely to the emergency lane. I tried to start the vechile but couldn't the car wouldn't crank. So I had to tow the car to my mechanics and my mechanic told me it was due to the alternator. Lack of power = system will not allow you to run the vechile. I would like something done about this ifit was not for the emergency lane me and my family could have been killed on the highway.
