Consumer Description

RIDING MY 2008 CAN-AM SE5 SPYDER I WAS TRAVELING NORTH ON I95 AT 75MPH ATTEMPTING TO PASS A SEMI WHEN THE SPYDER STARTS TO BUCK, & LOSE POWER AND THE DASH LIGHTS UP. ENGINE LIGHT, VSS LIGHT AND DPS PROBLEM SCROLLING. TERRIFYING TO ALL OF A SUDDEN HAVE NO POWER WHILE ALL AROUND U ARE DOING 70 AND YOUR 3 LANES AWAY FROM A TURN OFF W/ LITTLE POWER AND ERRATIC STEERING.. I GOT OFF TO THE SIDE AND TURNED EVERYTHING OFF AND BACK ON & FAULT WAS STILL THERE. DID IT AGAIN & IT WAS GONE, SO I CAUTIOUSLY GOT BACK ON THE FREEWAY, ONLY TO HAVE IT HAPPEN AGAIN 20 MILES LATER. AGAIN SURROUNDED BY SEMIS. PULLED OVER. TURNED IT OFF & BACK ON. EVERYTHING OK. THIS TIME IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN, BUT JUST IN CASE I STAYED IN THE RIGHT LANE SO I COULD GET OFF IN A HURRY IF I HAD TO. *TR
