Picked up Indi Blue 2003 CVT (production date 6-6) on June 27- 2 weeks later battery light started flickering on start up-went to dealer was told it's a computer glitch- diagnostics say all is fine can't do anything for it. Yesterday while lookig for a parking space and going 10mph- car stalls. No big surprise from what I've read- but this is my first new car in 16 years and I just lost it.
I'm going to the dealer 8am tomorrow- and am trying to think positively- but I have lost all confidence in driving this car that I was psyched for since I ordered it in March.Anyone out there with happy endings- that similar trouble was fixed for good - please don't post the non happy endings- I'm at wits end as it is.
Thank you to those who suggested replacing the wiring harness-anyone have same experinece and use Prestige Mini in Mahwah?Thanks for listening Lisa

Also, let the dealer determine exactly what you need. I find it a bit hard to swallow your car needs a new Throttle body control and engine wiring harness given it is only 4 weeks old.
