Hi all, my daughters 2014 Barina is having a few issues and it is now at the mechanic for the third time in a year
Whilst driving, at any time, but normally once it's warmed up a bit. You're driving along, then go to accelerate and it suddenly is misfiring and there is a loss of engine power/ speed. At the same time the Engine management and Traction control lights come on. You pull over, switch the engine off and leave it a few minutes. When you switch it back on the lights have gone and it drives OK again. The mechanic has changed spark plugs but it's made no difference.
It's pretty dangerous because once it happens you're almost having to roll to the side of the road and my daughter is finding it understandably stressful wondering if it will happen
We got a computer on to check and it wasn't showing up and errors.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Cheers
