Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY LOST ENGINE POWER; THE CAR ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND WHENEVER I QUICKLY STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL; THEREBY MAKING ANY QUICK DEFENSIVE MANEUVER IMPOSSIBLE. IT'S AS IF THE CAR ENGINE WAS STARVED FOR AIR AND BECAME UNRESPONSIVE FOR QUICK ACCELERATION. DEALERSHIP DETERMINED ERROR CODE P2600, INTAKE RUNNER CONTROL PROBLEM. DUE TO THIS PROBLEM OF IMPAIRED ACCELERATION GETTING, ON AND OFF MAJOR HIGHWAYS WAS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SINCE QUICK POWER WAS NON-EXISTENT AND AVOIDING OTHER CARS QUICKLY WAS NOT POSSIBLE. TRULY A SAFETY ISSUE!
