Consumer Description

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF..I WAS DRIVING AROUND 60 MPH THE CAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND LOST POWER...I WAS ABLE TO STEER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT I WAS IN THREE LANES WIDE OF TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD I NOT BEEN IN THE LANE CLOSED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I COULD HAVE BEEN BADLY INJURED. WITHIN THE TIME FRAME OF THREE WEEKS IT HAPPENED 4 TIMES...ALL WHEN I WAS DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS EXCEPT ONCE THE CAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN AND POWERED DOWN WHEN I WAS AT A STOP SIGN IN TOWN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COMES AND GOES SO FAST BY THE TIME I CAN GET TO A REPAIR SHOP AND HAVE IT SCANNED ITS USUALLY OFF. I WAS ABLE TO SCAN IT ONCE AND IT READ A CODE FOR "TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE"...THE CAR RUNS GREAT BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT JUST POWERS DOWN. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO GET INJURED FROM THIS FAILURE BEFORE SOMEONE FIXES IT! THIS IS ABSURD! *TR
