very poorly pt
Please can someone give me some advice?? Something is stressing me out!! My beloved car!!
(52 plate, limited, almond)
This is an intermittent but ongoing problem a quick rundown......
Feb 04, Car either not starting or cutting out about 2 mins into journey - usually on a bend when slowing to change gear - feels like no steering and no brakes which is very scary!! Dealer takes car in but cannot identify problem. Cold weather stops and problem stops.
Feb 05. Cold weather and the old problem happens again. Dealer takes car in and again says they cannot identify the problem. I insist that they leave her outside garage for one more night......it doesn't start for them in the morning. After 5 days they phone and say that they've changed the "climate sensor" or something ?? I bring the car home and last week I'm taking my 4 year old to nursery when turning at a junction the car cuts out and I'm heading for a parked car and the car feels like 20 ton!! So i call chrystler cover and off she goes to the dealer again.
I've just phoned the dealer and they say the computer is not identifying any problems?? I've to go and collect her tomorrow.
What should I do? I admit that I'm petrified that it happens again. I find it hard to control the car when she cuts out and I'm scared I'm going to have an accident. But as the dealer says it doesn't happen with them they can't do anything to help.
My other concern is that her warranty runs out in October and as this seems to be linked to cold weather then I'm going to be left to sort this out at my expense when the problem has been there since I bought her brand new.
I know you guys are hot on this stuff so does anyone have any advice for me?? Plllleeeeaaaassseeee help!!
