Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPX 70 MPH I HEARD A BEEP AND AT THE SAME TIME THE DASH INDICATED A WRENCH, AND MESSAGE TO STOP SAFELY NOW, AND THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES THEN RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THE MESSAGE WAS NO LONGER ON THE DASH AND THE CAR DROVE NORMALLY FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS WENT ON SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL I COULD GET TO A PLACE WHERE I FELT SAFE TO STOP. BROUGHT THE CAR IN AND THEY REPLACED THE HYBRID COOLING PUMP. NOW, 1 YR LATER THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING AGAIN. WAS DRIVING APPX 50 MPH AND SAME BEEP, MESSAGE AND CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THIS TIME I WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO HOME TO BE ABLE TO RESTART AND GET HOME SAFELY. *TR
