Consumer Description

DRIVING FROM COLUMBUS TO CINCINNATI AROUND 1:00 AM WITH MY DAUGHTER, SON AND 15 MONTH OLD GRANDDAUGHTER. THE CAR LOST ALL POWER LEAVING US STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AS I PULLED OVER THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE, ALMOST LIKE THERE WAS WATER IN THE GAS LINE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND THEN RESTARTED. THE CAR RESET ITSELF AND LUCKILY WE MADE IT THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. NOT TOO LONG AFTER THAT, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND IT DID THE SAME THING. EXCEPT THIS TIME, IT WOULD ONLY GO ABOUT 2 MILES BEFORE IT WOULD QUIT AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. NO ONLY COULD I HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, BUT BEING STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE EXPRESSWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WITH AN INFANT WAS TERRIFYING! I HAD THE THROTTLE VALVE SENSOR REPLACED AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY ADDITIONAL INSTANCES OF POWER FAILURE.
