Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER IN REGARDS TO ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION ON THE FREEWAY AT THE SPEED OF AROUND 40-45 MPH. I HAD TO COAST OVER TWO LANES AND ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED. THE RPM WOULD REV UP BUT NO POWER. RESTARTED CAR AND PROBLEM WENT AWAY. NEXT DAY HAD TCM FLASHED AS PART OF RECALL. TWO DAYS LATER HAD THE SAME ISSUE ONLY GOING 60-65 ON FREEWAY. TRANSMISSION WENT HAYWIRE AND HAD TO COAST OVER AND ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED AGAIN. THIS TIME CAR WOULDN'T RESTART FOR ABOUT 2 MIN. NO POWER. ENGINE REVVING AND COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER TWICE AND I FEEL THIS CAR IS A MAJOR ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WHILE DRIVING NOT KNOWING WHY MY CAR IS LOSING POWER EVEN AFTER THE SO CALLED SOFTWARE FIX.
