Got mine last Saturday, forte coup sx auto, right off the lot it stalled. I still took it home bc service dept. Wouldn't be open till Monday. Anyway had the check engine light and TCS light was on and could not reset. Took it to auto zone that night to have it read out, go 2 codes on it. One for the pcu and one for forced engine shutdown... I figured it was a computer, so Monday I take it in they reprogram the ecu and everything is good till I start the car the next day. Took it back in and had them look at the pcu or transmission CPU sure enough I got a bad one. Been in the shop for a week now waiting to get one from Korea. Should be here Tuesday, they said it's a 900$ part so they had to go to the big heads and apparently all ecu/pcu are assigned to car by vin#. So they had to get authorization to have one off the assy. Line then overnight the part on Monday. Any all the symptoms were: car would just cut off randomly at any time sitting driving, was idle at 500rpm instead of 800, traction control light would be on and could not be reset, check engine light on, around 40-50 mph felt like tranny would slip. Well when I get it back I'll post some info and what not. Only 35 miles on the car. Service dept has been pretty good though so I'm chill.
