Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Initial complaint was gas mileage. 12 mpg in town and 12 mpg on the highway. dealer found no problem. mileage continued to deteriorate, down to 7 in town and 12 on highway. this is a v6 2 wheel drive auto. then the transmission would not shift out of park, this happened several times and i took the car in again and complained about the gas mileage and transmission problems. dealer called and said i had 2 bad sensors on the car and could get it the next day. customer service called 2 days later and told my wife that they had " fried" the cpu in the car. it's been almost 10 days in the shop and no repairs. dealer says they have to have a new computer made for the car and that all cpu are " special" , not something they can get everyday. this unit controls everything on this car, if it was "fried" what did it do to the sensors on the car? *tr
