Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE MY ESCAPE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND SLOWED TO AROUND 5 MPH. I PULLED TO THE SHOULDER, PLACED THE CAR IN PARK, SHUT IT OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, THEN STARTED IT AND CONTINUED ON MY WAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES SINCE, BOTH WHILE TRAVELING 30 MPH IN TOWN. I FOLLOWED THE SAME PROCEDURE AND WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE ON MY WAY. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY, AS I HAVE CONSULTED MY LOCAL MECHANIC. HE CONFIRMED THAT HE HAS SEEN A FEW ESCAPES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *TR
