Engine & cooling

Engine light comes on after long drives and hot weather. After several inspections by my mechanic, I was told I needed a new turbo. I have 147,000 miles on the car. He told me my car would just stop at some point. Is this really the problem? The engine light is scary. It happens while driving on the freeway.

I purchased the car in april and I never received my registration, and plates, they had never mentioned to me that the status of the car was salvage. I also wasn't informed they were out of business when I was in process of purchasing my car. Since I purchased the car the check engine light has always been on, and the back of the car is messed up.

I purchased the vehicle on 11/23/06 and on 1/27/07, the p1009 check engine emission failure code came up on my navigation screen just as my car suddenly lost its ability to accelerate or maintain its current speed. My speed was reduce immediately from 60 mph to 20 mph and the rpm dropped from 3 to below 1. The car became sluggish and acted as though it was stalling. The car was immediately sent in for repair and I was told the solenoid was not installed correctly which cause the vehicle timing to be incorrect....

Today is 2/28/07 and the car was towed away because the same error occurred along with a new error. The vsa failure alert appeared on my navigation screen followed by the p1009 check vehicle emission error. It has been 1 month to the tee and the same symptoms reappeared. The car lost its ability to accelerate and the engine stalled suddenly. *Nm
