Consumer Description

WHILE RUNNING ON CRUISE CONTROL AT 55MPH, I DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL FOR A TURNING VEHICLE AHEAD. A YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT & STOP SAFELY NOW MESSAGE APPEARED IN DASH. A WARNING BELL ALARMED. VEHICLE BEGAN FREE WHEELING TOWARDS OTHER VEHICLE WITHOUT EXPECTED REGENERATION BRAKING. HAD TO HIT BRAKES HARD. PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD. CAR HAD NO MOTIVE POWER. TURNED CAR OFF. WAITED FOR ALL LIGHTS IN DASH TO GO OUT, THEN RESTARTED CAR NORMALLY. CAR APPEARED TO HAVE NO PROBLEMS. THIS HAPPENED 5 MORE TIMES IN THE NEXT 2 DAYS. NO PROBLEMS NOTED. THE DEALER WAS TO BUSY ON FRIDAY TO LOOK FOR ANY CODES IN VEHICLE COMPUTER. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN EXCEPT WHEN THE MOTOR IS SHORTED OR GROUNDED OUT HARD ENOUGH TO BURN IT AND BLOW A FUSE. *TR
