Consumer Description

UPON ENTERING TRAFFIC FLOW ON I-94 WESTBOUND NEAR NEW BUFFALO MICHIGAN THE ACCELERATION OF ENGINE QUIT INSTANTANEOUSLY AND THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT LIT UP READING SOMETHING ABOUT A FAIL SAFE MODE. AFTER COASTING BACK ACROSS TWO TRAFFIC LANES TO THE SIDE OF ROAD I SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN. TO KEEP FROM GETTING STRANDED ALONG THE HIGHWAY AND SINCE THE ENGINE INFO LIGHT READ ALL SYSTEMS WERE OK AFTER WAITING A FEW MINUTES I RESTARTED THE MOTOR AND IT RAN OK. I STAYED IN THE SLOW LANE SO I COULD PULL OFF THE ROAD IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHICH IT DIDN'T . THE NEXT DAY ON COUNTY ROAD 500N IN INDIANA IT DID IT AGAIN. *TR
