Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN CAR LURCHED FORWARD AND THEN PROCEEDED TO COAST. I PRESSED GAS PEDAL BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. I HAD TO STEER THROUGH TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE SHOULDER WHERE THE CAR STARTED TO STUMBLE LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE. I SHUT OFF ENGINE AND RESTARTED, IT STARTED NORMAL SO I PROCEEDED HOME. I HAD LESS THAN A MILE TO HOME YET IT DIED 2 MORE TIMES. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM SEEING HOW YOU'RE DEAD IN THE WATER WHEN THE CAR MALFUNCTIONS! IT TAKES A LOT TO SCARE ME BUT SEEING HOW I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY OF MY WIFE AND 4 YR OLD SON, IT SCARED ME HALF TO DEATH! *TR
