Consumer Description

ON OCTOBER 1 2012 I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY STREET AT APROX 45 MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. LUCKILY I WAS CLOSE TO HOME AND ABOUT TO COAST DOWN HILL TO MY DRIVEWAY. WHEN I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING BUT NOT QUIETLY, IT SPUTTER AND WAS QUITE LOUD. I LET IT SIT FOR A DAY AND STARTED IT BACK UP ALL LIGHT ARE OFF, HOWEVER WHILE DRIVING (I LIVE 50 MILES, ONE WAY ALL HIGHWAY DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS) TO MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT THIS MORNING OCTOBER 03 2012 I NOTICED AT IF I WERE DRIVING AT ANYTHING LESS THEN 60 WHERE MY FOOT WASN'T ON THE GAS I COULD FEEL WHAT SEEM LIKE THE TRAN SLIP.. I HOPE MY CHILDREN ARE NOT IN THE CAR WITH ME SHOULD THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. AND IM PRAYING IT DOESN'T! *TR
