Consumer Description

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY - I WAS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. THE CAR LOST SORT OF RESET ITSELF - DASH WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON (ACCORDING TO MY WIFE). RADIO/CD STOPPED MUSIC - ABS LIGHT WENT ON (THAT'S ALL I CAN SEE FROM PASSENGER SIDE). MY WIFE SAID OTHERS TOO BUT SHE WAS FOCUSED ON THE ROAD BECAUSE IT WAS A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. SHE WAS NERVOUS AND SAID THE CAR WAS NOT RESPONDING TO THROTTLE. LUCKILY ALL WENT BACK TO NORMAL AFTER 2 OR MAYBE 3 SECONDS. THE MUSIC CAME BACK ON ALSO. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY SIGN OF TROUBLE. WE PULLED OVER AND I CHECKED THE FRONT TO SEE IF WE HIT SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED IT. RESTARTED THE CAR - ALL SEEMED NORMAL AND REACHED OUR DESTINATION. THIS WAS OUR FIRST 200 MILE TRIP OR MORE ON THIS CAR. 1 DAY AFTER ARRIVAL - I DID A ONCE OVER SAFETY CHECK (FLUIDS, TIRE PRESSURE, ETC) NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. GOT MY OBD2 CODE READER AND IT HAD THE FOLLOWING U3003 U0140 U0428. SO I WILL TAKE THIS TO OUR DEALER FOR CHECKUP. *TR
