It did not fix the problem and the result is I get very hot in my car when it turns off while im driving and I have to keep fiddling with it while driving to make it stay on.”

Took car to local garage and no codes came up. Then again on march 23, 2011 car again lost all acceleration and steering. This time the car was being driven approximately 40 MPH. No warning indicators were lit. …”
