Consumer Description

I WAS TRAVELING FROM THE ROUTE 128 HIGHWAY EXIT RAMP ONTO THE INTERSTATE 95 GOING APPROXIMATELY 50-55 MPH, AS I ROUNDED THE TOP OF THE RAMP I WENT TO ACCELERATE ONTO I-95 WHEN I FOUND I WAS SLOWING IN SPEED/DECELERATING AND FOUND THAT I HAD NO PICK UP WITH THE VEHICLE. I WAS ACTUALLY COASTING ,THE ENGINE APPEARED TO BE ON BUT I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. AS I COASTED TO THE BREAK DOWN LANE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED ON. I SAT AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR APPROXIMATELY 5-7 MINUTES, THE CAR DID RE-START. DUE TO WHAT APPEARED TO BE A DANGEROUS SPOT ON THE HIGHWAY I ATTEMPTED TO CONTINUE DRIVING TOWARDS AN EXIT. APPROXIMATELY 4 MILES DOWN THE HIGHWAY ( I TRAVELED AT 50 MPH IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE) THE CAR AGAIN, STOPPED ACCELERATING WAS DECELERATING, I WAS PUMPING THE GAS PETAL WITHOUT SUCCESS AND I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO RODMAN FORD IN FOXBORO MA. THE SERVICE ADVISOR IS TELLING ME THE DIAGNOSTIC SHOWS NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. HE ALSO REPORTS EVEN THOUGH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED ON TWICE THEIR IS NO INDICATION OF THE COMPUTER REGISTERING ANY TYPE OF FAILURE. *TR
