Consumer Description

WHEN I WENT TO PROCEED THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AFTER BEING STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER. IT MADE CLUNKING NOISES AND EVEN THOUGH I KEPT GIVING IT MORE GAS I BARELY MADE IT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I THEN STEERED INTO THE SHOULDER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR, WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED IT AGAIN. THE ENGINE STARTED BUT I STILL HAD NOISES AND NO POWER TO MOVE FORWARD. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT NEW AND HAVE ALL THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE DONE. THEY DID A THOROUGH INSPECTION AND SEVERAL ROAD TESTS TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH THE CAR AND NOW HAVE A LOSS OF CONFIDENCE AND AM CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN. AFTER MY BREAKDOWN I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND NO ONE IS ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.
