Q: I have a Chrys 300 and when I go over my speed bump the engine light would flash on/off and the car hesitate

asked by on August 23, 2017

I have a Chrysler 300 and when I go over my speed bump the engine light would flash on/off and the car hesitate. Before the engine light would stay on and then disappear but it had been doing that for years. Now in the last couple of days whenever i go over the speed bump in my complex the light will flash on and off and then the car starts to hesitate and i put some gas to it and it stops and after a few seconds the light goes away and there is no hesitation and it drives normal.

My car has 89500 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
