Car shut down while driving. There was a recall to reset the ecm that was causing this problem. I was unaware of this recall but now learn that if i had brought my car in to have the system reset i would not have been out any money. But now that the problem has arisen and the car shut down on me, this caused the "check engine light" to come on. Now i must pay to have the sensor replaced not just reset. *tr
