Z is 4 Days Old Having Problems

Red370 · 03-11-2010, 06:07 PM

apparently the ECU tends to go haywire with random cars, its happened to a few people, they just shut the car off for 10 minutes or so, restarted it, never had the problem again.

Yea I got it installed.... I don't think they would take the car back even if I didn't--probably just send me to service.

I'm gonna play it by ear, hopefully it won't happen again. I'll keep you all updated.

well you do have a certain amount of days that you can return the car if not happy with it. I know my salesman discussed this as I think they have to by law. I wanna say 30 days but Im not sure about that. Check into it even with the installed thing cuz you dont want to be stuck with a lemon, which they should have discussed with you by law too.

And I owuld take it in right away and have them look at it so that you it on record. Protect yourself man.

Yah I had something similar to me happen when I first got the car. I pulled over and restarted the car. I haven't seen it happen ever again and I have 18K on the car right now.

Now what if it started happening again and cuz you never took it in you may not be able to declare it under the lemon law. So what I am saying is it not worth the trip to the dealer to get it on record just in case? The guy in the runaway prius never had his accelerator stick but once too.

If it started happening again after 18k miles, I wouldn't call it a lemon. Just a mechanical issue that can STILL be resolved under warranty.

Well for one, I'd need to replicate it in order for the dealership to record it. I couldn't make it happen again, so there was no reason to take it to the dealership.
