Consumer Description
WHILE TRAVELING AT NORMAL SPEED, MY VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN BUT I HAD NO ACCELERATION FACTOR. I COASTED TO A MEDIAN CROSS OVER AS I WAS TRAVELING ON A FOUR LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY. I STOPPED AND CALLED A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO SUGGESTED I TURN OFF THE ENGINE, WAIT AND TRY RESTARTING. HE MENTIONED A "DRIVE BY WIRE". AFTER RESTARTING, I WAS ABLE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC WITH NO FURTHER ISSUES. HE SCANNED THE COMPUTER AND FOUND NO ERROR CODES. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. TWICE NOW IN TWO DAYS. SHOULD I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY IN THIS VEHICLE. SINCE READING YOUR ARTICLE, I WILL CONTACT MY DEALER. WE ARE PLANNING TO TRAVEL TO KNOXVILLE TN (400 MILES ONE WAY) FOR THANKSGIVING - NOW I AM AFRAID OF THIS VEHICLE! *TR
