Consumer Description

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, MY CAR SURGES AND THEN STARTS TO SLOW DOWN. I PUSH THE GAS BUT NOTHING HAPPENS. THE WRENCH SIGN POPS UP AND I IMMEDIATELY EXIT AND TRY TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL DOES NOTHING NOW EITHER. SHUT THE CAR OFF AND CONTINUE DRIVING. DRIVE FOR NOT EVEN A MILE AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN. SHUT IT OFF AND DROVE HOME WITHOUT AN ISSUE. SEARCHED THE WEB AND I CAN SEE THIS HAPPENS A LOT. JUST BOUGHT THE CAR CERTIFIED PRE OWNED THE DAY OF THE INCIDENT. HOPING ITS COVERED UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, IF NOT I DON'T KNOW WHAT ILL DO. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. ITS HAPPENING TO SO MANY PEOPLE. VERY VERY UPSET DEALERSHIP WOULD SELL ME A CAR KNOWING THAT THIS ISSUE EXISTED. *JS
