Consumer Description

WHEN TRYING TO PASS A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE ( GOING 45 IN A 55) I TRIED TO PASS. WHEN I MOVED INTO OTHER LANE AND GASSED TRUCK I LOST POWER AND STARTED JERKING. I HAD TO LET UP COMPLETELY OFF THE GAS AND FALL BACK BEHIND THE CAR THAT I WAS PASSING. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION SINCE THERE WERE OTHER CARS BEHIND ME THAT HAD ALSO STARTED TO PASS AS WELL AS ONCOMING CARS UP AHEAD (A SAFE DISTANCE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO PASS OF COURSE). THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE SINCE MANY OF THE SAME STORIES CAME UP WHEN SEARCHING THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS. *TR
