Consumer Description

ABOUT 4 HOURS INTO OUR RETURN TRIP ON FRIDAY, MARCH 29, I WAS DRIVING ON I295 AROUND THE CITY OF RICHMOND, VA. WE WERE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC TRAVELLING ABOUT 75 MPH WHEN OUR CAR BACKFIRED. MY WIFE AND I LOOKED AT EACH OTHER, AND NOTHING SEEMED TO HAPPEN TO THE CAR. SO WE CONTINUED DRIVING THINKING THE BACKFIRE WAS A NOISE FROM A SOURCE OTHER THAN OUR CAR. HOWEVER, WHEN I BRAKED SHORTLY THEREAFTER BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC BUILDUP THE CAR STALLED AT 40 MPH. I WAS STUNNED BUT QUICKLY RESPONDED BY RESTARTING THE CAR. FROM THAT POINT ON THE CAR REPEATEDLY STALLED EACH TIME WE BRAKED AND/OR REDUCED SPEED. *JS
