Consumer Description

ON TWO OCCASIONS ABOUT A WEEK APART, AFTER SLOWING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER MID TURN FOR APPROXIMATELY 4 SECONDS. THIS CAUSED THE CARS BEHIND ME TO HAVE TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES & I WAS NEARLY HIT BOTH TIMES. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED THE DEALER & WAS TOLD THE CVT CAUSES PAUSES, HOWEVER THIS WAS WAY TOO LONG & EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME I COULD BRING THE CAR IN FOR A TEST DRIVE, BUT BECAUSE IT ONLY HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY IT WOULD BE HARD TO DUPLICATE. ALSO IF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIDN'T COME ON THERE WOULD BE NO CODE.
