Consumer Description

AFTER DRIVING ABOUT ONE MILE FROM HOME, A TONE SOUNDED AND THE "STOP SAFELY NOW" WARNING WAS DISPLAYED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DASH. THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD ONTO THE SHOULDER. THE CAR'S SPEED WAS ABOUT 25 MPH WHEN THE TONE FIRST SOUNDED. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED TWO MINUTES LATER, I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY WHERE THERE ARE VERY FEW PLACES TO PULL OFF AND WOULD HAVE PRESENTED A SERIOUS DANGER. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AFTER A FEW MINUTES, DROVE BACK HOME, AND THEN HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. *TR
