Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING, THE ETC LIGHT AND THE STABILITY LIGHT CAME ON, THE CAR LOST POWER. I HAD TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT TO GET THE CAR TO DRIVE NORMALLY. IT WOULD DRIVE NORMALLY FOR A COUPLE OF MILES AND THEN I WOULD HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN. IT STOPPED DOING IT THE NEXT DAY. IT STARTED BACK UP AGAIN THIS SUMMER. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A MECHANIC WHO CLEANS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BOX AND HAS RESET THE ELECTRONICS. THIS WILL USUALLY FIX IT FOR A MONTH OR SO AND THEN IT STARTS AGAIN. THE CAR ALSO WILL HAVE SURGES OF POWER, WHICH ARE VERY SCARY. IT ALSO DOES NOT HANDLE WELL WHEN IT RAINS OR SNOWS. OVERALL I FEEL LIKE THE CAR IS UNSAFE. *TR
