Consumer Description

DRIVING ALONG THE INTERSTATE AT 74 MPH AND THE CAR STARTED HESITATING AND SURGING AND THEN WE LOST COMPLETE POWER; NO GAS PEDAL AND NO STEERING. THE TERRAIN WAS ROLLING HILLS. WE HAD JUST UNDER A HALF A TANK OF GAS. THERE WERE NO INDICATIONS THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG WITH OUR VEHICLE IT JUST WENT INTO THESE SYMPTOMS. IT HAPPENED FOUR MORE TIMES AS WE WERE DRIVING BEFORE WE COULD GET IT TO OUR DEALER. EACH TIME WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WAIT ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND TRY TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND TRAVEL ABOUT 15 MILES. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED THE SYMPTOMS AND THEY REPLACED MY "IN LINE FUEL FILTER" YF1Z-9155-CA(FILTER 1767). *JB
