Consumer Description

EVERY TIME I TURN ON MY CAR THE ESC OFF LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED. WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS I HAVE NO POWER. IF I TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON, IT WILL USUALLY DISAPPEAR. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON LINE, AND MANY PEOPLE WITH MY SAME CAR HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THE ISSUE IN THEIR CARS HAVE PROGRESSED TO RANDOMLY TURNING ON WHILE GOING 65 MILES AND HOUR, AND LOSING SPEED WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. I CURRENTLY DO NOT KNOW OF ANY ACCIDENTS, BUT THIS NOW HAS ME AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR. IF IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL TO FIX IT? *TR
