Consumer Description

THIS VEHICLE HAS LOST POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 3 TIMES NOW. JUST DRIVING ALONG AND IT JUST STARTS SLOWING DOWN ON ITS OWN. RUNNING 70MPH AND IT JUST LOSES POWER AND IT SLOWS TO AROUND 25MPH. YOU MASH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND IT HAS NO EFFECT, IT WILL NOT INCREASE SPEED. YOU PULL OVER, SHOUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART AND IT RUNS FINE AGAIN. YOU GET NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO CODES. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING. I SEE SOMEONE ELSE HAS FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE SAME PROBLEM NOW MAYBE YOU WILL TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. *TR
