Consumer Description

WE WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 65 MPH WHEN OUR ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHT ALONG WITH OUR ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENED WE DID NOT HAVE A SPEEDOMETER OR RPM GAUGE. ALL OF THE LIGHTS THAT ARE RELATED TO THE SHIFTER (PARK, NEUTRAL, DRIVE) ALSO ALL LIT UP. THE CAR DID CONTINUE TO DRIVE BUT HAD LESS POWER. WE PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. WE TRIED TO START IT AGAIN BUT IT WOULD NOT START AT FIRST. THE POWER LOCKS AND TRUCK RELEASE WOULD NOT WORK EITHER. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES WE TRIED IT AGAIN AND EVERYTHING WORKED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID STAY ON BUT THE CAR DROVE FINE. THE ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL CURRENTLY ON. *TR
