Consumer Description

ON AUG 9TH AFTER LEAVING SAN BERNARDINO CA.. I WAS DRIVING UP THE CAJON PASS TO RETURN HOME. I HAD THE CAR IN CRUISE & GAVE IT SOME GAS SO THAT I COULD GET UP THE GRADE BECAUSE THERE WAS A CAR BEHIND ME THAT WAS FAIRLY CLOSE. AS SOON AS I GAVE IT GAS THE CAR LOST ENGINE POWER & I HAD TO MOVE OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THE CAR CAME TO A STOP & I WAS UNABLE TO GET IT RESTARTED. I THOUGHT IT HAD OVERHEATED BUT LOOKING BACK ON THE SITUATION. I DON'T THINK THAT WAS THE PROBLEM .I ATTEMPTED TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN AFTER SITTING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES & IT STALLED AGAIN. I SAT FOR SEVERAL MORE MINUTES, TRIED AGAIN & IT STARTED . I STAYED ON THE SHOULDER UNTIL IT GAINED SPEED, & I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. ON TUES. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP & THEY HAD ME TOW THE CAR IN. THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THIS IS THE ONLY TIME I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. *TR
