Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This car with a failed air idle bypass valve is extremely dangerous and could result in a traffic injury or fatality. when this condition occurs you lose power steering, speed and engine control. this valve has had to be replaced two times before, and is again needing replacement at a cost of $700.00. i feel that this is an original factory defect, and should be replaced by the dealership with no cost. it is a hazard on the road. *ak
