Consumer Description

WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 67MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR JUST LOST POWER AND THE ENGINE QUIT RUNNING. ALL OF THE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENTS LOST POWER ,GAS GAUGE REGISTERED EMPTY, ETC. ALTHOUGH THE RADIO DID NOT GO OFF. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED WITH VERY LIGHT TRAFFIC AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF IN THE EMERGENCY LANE AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE WITH NO TROUBLE. CONTINUED OUR TRIP AND DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. AFTER THINKING ABOUT THIS I DID NOTICE THE VEHICLE A FEW WEEKS AGO LOSING SOME ACCELERATING SPEED/POWER INTERMITTENTLY WHILE TRAVELING. NOT SURE IF THAT WAS AN INDICATOR OR NOT. DID CALL ONSTAR APPROXIMATELY 5 HOURS AFTER INCIDENT TO DIAGNOSE AND SEE IF ANY ERROR CODES CAME UP AND THEY STATED THEY SHOWED NOTHING. THIS IS MY DAUGHTERS VEHICLE AND I FEAR THAT IF SHE IS TRAVELING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THIS HAPPENS AGAIN THAT THIS COULD CAUSE A SEVER ACCIDENT. *JS
