Vehicle began to show a "wrench light" icon on dash and then go into a "limp mode" where power is significantly restricted to the point where the vehicle will only slightly move.

They said they had to replace everything from the gas cap to the engine, cost 950.00 and took three days. The check engine light came on, I took it to Kwik Kar in Hurst, TX. They ran the code and said it was the purge valve. Said it might be gas, so they reset the code, I drove it for two weeks, check engine light came back on, error was the purge valve. they changed it for 99.00. also flushed out the gas area as there was an error code about it. the gas cap error light has been coming on and going off for over a year now. hopefully its all fixed now, and I will never go back to Kinneys Automotive. |
