Consumer Description

IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF I-85 ATLANTA, 3:30 P.M.. WE WERE IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC,STOP AND GO, VERY SLOW TRAFFIC. SUDDENLY, MY CAR SHOOK AND THEN CUT OFF. AFTER PUTTING ON HAZARD LIGHTS, I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO START IT BACK AND IT WOULD START, SHAKE AND SHUT OFF. I FINALLY GOT IT STARTED AND TURNED OFF AC AND TRAVELED THE REST OF THE WAY. NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING AND DANGEROUS IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. *JS
