Consumer Description

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH IN THE MIDDLE LANE, THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION POWER AND THE "WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON. WHILE THE CAR WAS SLOWING, I HAD TO MAKE SEVERAL LANE CHANGES ACROSS HEAVY, FAST MOVING TRAFFIC BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO STOP ALONG THE SHOULDER. UPON RESTARTING THE CAR, THE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON AND THE CAR RESUMED NORMAL ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING ASSESSED AT THE DEALERSHIP, AS THIS ISSUE COULD RESULT IN A MAJOR COLLISION IF IT WERE TO RECUR, POTENTIALLY CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL IN HIGH-SPEED TRAFFIC WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. *JB
