Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING BACK FROM LUNCH AND AS I ACCELERATED UP A SLIGHT INTERSTATE HILL, I EXPERIENCED NO ACCELERATION. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO NEUTRAL AND TRIED TO REV THE ENGINE, NOTHING. I COASTED TO THE EMERGENCY LANE WHERE I SAFELY STOPPED AND PLACED THE CAR IN PARK. ONCE IN PARK, IT WAS VIBRATING, SPUTTERING AND SLIGHTLY LUNGING SO I TURNED THE CAR OFF. I SAT FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEN RESTARTED MY VEHICLE. I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT MERGING INTO TRAFFIC, SO I TURNED ON MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS AND RODE WITH THEM ON FOR THE REMAINDER OF MY 15 MINUTE DRIVE. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY DEALER AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE NEXT MORNING. ON MY WAY HOME, THE SAME SCENARIO OCCURRED 2 MORE TIMES. THANK HEAVENS FOR EMERGENCY LANES! *TR
