Consumer Description

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN I-55, TOWING MY TRAVEL TRAILER ON A TRIP FROM ST. LOUIS, MO TO GULF SHORES, AL, VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAD BEEN DRIVING MULTIPLE HOURS IN THE RAIN WHEN IN JACKSON, MS, I HAD TO LET OFF THE GAS TO ALLOW OTHER VEHICLES TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I RE-APPLIED THE GAS, THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOSE SPEED AND DROP FROM AROUND 60MPH TO 35MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. AFTER LETTING OFF AND RE-APPLYING GAS ABOUT THREE TIMES THE VEHICLE FINALLY RECOVERED AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE ON MY WAY. LUCKILY THE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE HIGHWAY WERE ABLE TO AVOID ME AND I WAS NOT REAR-ENDED OR OTHERWISE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR
