(i.e. could be on highway doing 55mph, censor would misdetect engine status causing throttle to go down and speed to involuntarily and drastically decrease) drastic and extensive diagnostics and testing required to evaluate and solve problem. seatbelts-power-seatbelt warning light goes off when seatbelt properly engaged. contacted dealer and was told sensor may be sticky/dirty and nothing could be done about it. was told to try to disassemble and clean out. did not use recommendation due to the fact that this could make the problem much worse, so warning continues to randomly comes on when driving. exhaust system- compleatly replaced. deemed inadequate. caused carbon minoxide leak in vehicle.*ak | |||
