Consumer Description

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON, EVERY 2000 MILES. IT IS ALWAYS THE SAME THING, A RICH FUEL MIXTURE. THIS PROBLEM AFFECTS THE ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE DRIVER STEPS ON THE GAS, THE CAR EITHER BUCKS AND WON'T GO, OR JUST BOGS DOWN AND WON'T ACCELERATE. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO MERGE IN TRAFFIC ON BUSY, CONGESTED HIGHWAYS. EVERYTIME THIS HAPPENS, WE TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY KEEP IT SEVERAL DAYS TO A WEEK BEFORE THEY CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME SINCE APRIL 2003 FOR THE SAME ISSUE. *LA
