Consumer Description

THE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES ON FOR 2 SECONDS, THEN THE CAR DECELERATES FOR SECONDS, AND THEN ALL IS OKAY. THIS MAY HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW WITHIN 5 TO 10 MINUTES. WE FIRST HAD THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR REPLACED, AS SUGGESTED. THEN THIS HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES, WHEREAS WE TOOK IT TO A DEALER WHO COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. IT'S HARD TO FEEL SAFE WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AS IT'S HAPPENED AT MAJOR INTERSECTIONS AND ALSO IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. *TR
