Reviewing retrieved edr, the ESC reports as on, then engages for 0.4 of a second, then turns off. A crash into a tree happens 2.9 seconds later. Was this fca stability control working effectively or was there a malfunction? The car spun a 360 circle and control was lost at 2.9 seconds to zero seconds on a city street. *dsy
Pulling down my drive way my vehicle accelerated without me trying. I hit the brake and e brake. It did not stop us. In result of the acceleration my house stopped us.
Car was moving slowing down for a bump and just shut off. No engine light or nothing came on came to a stop and tried to start it and it wouldn't start right back up took about five minutes and finally started up the car only had 44**** on it
When I go to start the car with either fob I sometimes get a message "can not identify fob. What happens if I'm going down the road at 70MPH and it cuts off because it can't identify fob. This car is 41 months old and has approx. 33,000 miles. So far the car was still when the problem occurred next time I may be moving.. This has happened about 10 time in the last 6 months with both fob's.
