| At 81,100 miles the enginecheck light came on. the dealer told me to replace the crankshaft sensor at $700.00 which i did. less than 300 mi later, the light came on again. this time i was told the whole computer was failing & needed replacement at $1600.00. since my car has much less than 100,000 miles, i feel these problems should be covered by a warranty.*ak | |||
