Consumer Description
WAS DRIVING ON BUSY ONE LANE ROAD, REDUCED SPEED, CHECK TRACTION CONTROL, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR SLOWED DOWN TO 45 AND WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER, WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF OF ROAD AND SHUT CAR OFF STARTED ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER NO INDICATION OF THE PROBLEM. TWO DAYS LATER THE PROBLEM CAME BACK. WENT TO INTERNET TO CHECK PROBLEM SEEMS LIKE THERE HAVE BEEN 100,000 S OF THESE PROBLEMS MANY RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS. IT DOES NOT SHOW THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON A FREEWAY WITH TRUCKS TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. WHAT HAS THE VEHICLE SAFETY BOARD DONE TO PROTECT OWNERS OF FAULTY VEHICLES? *TR
