At some point after the car was restarted, the engine warning light came on (as reported by the service manager), but it's easier to report a rare failure after the fact than it is to predict and prevent it.

glad they ain't in the aircraft engine business anymore..it wouldn't matter if they checked my blackbox beeped for engine failure after the crash happened
..unless offcourse I discovered I was as skilled as Captain Sully of the Hudson river landing dare fame
..they surely need the computer working on those sensors!!
