Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. I WASN'T ABLE TO USE MY HAZARDS OR ANYTHING. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE VEHICLE COULD BE RESTARTED BUT RAN VERY ROUGH AND HAD TO BE TOWED. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON AS WELL AS CHECK ENGINE. MECHANIC SAID NONE OF THE CODES WERE THE CAUSE, THEY WERE ALL THE EFFECT OF THE POWER LOSS. THE MECHANIC FOUND A LOOSE TERMINAL ON THE OEM BATTERY. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED AND THE ISSUE HAS NOT RECURRED.
