Consumer Description

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, FELT AS IF SOMETHING FELL OFF OR CAME LOOSE AND VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN IN MIDDLE ON TRAFFIC AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN GAS PEDAL WAS PUSHED, WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED ANYONE TO CRASH THE BACK OF ME. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER AND STOP. VERY TRAGIC, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL BUT MY VEHICLE CAME FROM THE WRONG MANUFACTURER. VERY UNFAIR :-( *TR
