Consumer Description

ENGINE STARTS TO MISFIRE AND LOSES POWER DURING STRONG ACCELERATION TO PASS A SLOWER VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY, OCCURS AFTER ENGINE IS WARM, AROUND TWENTY MILES OF DRIVING. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND IT IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE. THE DEALER HAS LOOKED AT IT THREE TIMES AND HE STATES THAT THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, EVEN AFTER I TAKE A MECHANIC FOR A RIDE AND PROVE IT TO THEM. DEALER REPLACED WIRING, PLUGS, IGNITION AND IT STILL DOES IT AND NOW THE DEALER DOESN'T WANT TO WORK ON THE CAR ANY LONGER. *TR
