Get your car in for the recall. lOverdrive stopped working, check engine light on

Taking my daughter back to school, left Chicago all good. Hit Alabama state line and torque converter stops working, Hold light comes on and starts flashing and check engine light comes on. Now driving 4,000 rpm going 70 on hwy 65. If you go less then 70 you will get killed. Nurse it to dealer in Auburn. Dealer performs recall on plugs and boots and all is good. I was told Torgue converter stopped working since motor was misfiring. I told him to drive car for a few days to be sure. Don't want daughter to have an issue when she drives back home in may.

Get you car in for the recall.

if your talking about Recall# 11290 (the Degraded Connection between the Spark Plug Boots and the Spark Plugs) its actually WELL Documented here. it only affects 2009-2011 cars, (my 2010 Sedan was a part of it; got it taken care of back in July)
