Consumer Description

AS I WAS DRIVING THE ENGINE WOULD MOMENTARILY LOOSE POWER, THEN RESUME & THE ETS LIGHT WOULD COME ON. THE ETS LIGHT WENT OUT AFTER A WHILE. I REPORTED THIS TO MY SERVICE PEOPLE AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND TO BRING IT IN WHEN THE LIGHT STAYED ON. THIS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES AND THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD JUST GOTTEN ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY AND THE CAR LOST POWER. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. MANY CARS HAD TO SWERVE AROUND ME CAUSING A GRAVE TRAFFIC HAZARD. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT NO ONE HIT MY CAR AND POSSIBLY CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY. I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK AND AFTER WAITING ABOUT 15 MINUTES I DECIDED TO TRY AND START MY , THE ETS LIGHT WAS STILL ON. FORTUNATELY THE ENGINE HAD REGAINED POWER AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE OFF THE EXPRESSWAY AND BRING IT TO BE SERVICED. *JB
