Consumer Description

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR STARTS TO SLOW DOWN, EVEN WITH ME PUSHING THE GAS. I PULLED OVER SAFELY AND THE CAR STALLED. I TURNED THE KEY OFF THINKING IT WAS GOING TO BE LIKE LAST TIME AND I WOULD JUST HAVE TO START IT UP AGAIN. NOT THIS TIME, IT ACTED LIKE IT WAS OUT OF GAS BUT WITH A HALF A TANK THAT COULD NOT BE IT. I LATER GOT THE CAR BACK TO MY HOUSE AND STARTED LOOKING AROUND. I FOUND A RUBBER HOSE THAT WAS BEING COMPRESSED IN WHEN EVER I TRIED STARTING THE CAR. LATER I FOUND THAT THE HOSE LEAD BACK TO THE GAS LINE. I THEN OVER TIME STARTED LOOKING THIS UP ON THE NET AND FOUND OUT THAT IT COULD BE A RECALL AND I AM WRITING TO LET YOU KNOW MY STORY. *JB
