Consumer Description

DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY GOING 65 MPH AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE TRACTION LIGHT. THE DISPLAY SAYS ENGINE POWER REDUCED, SERVICE TRACTION. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED WHEN THIS HAPPEN BECAUSE MY CAR AUTOMATICALLY SLOWED DOWN TO 10 MPH AND STALLED OUT AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET IT OVER TO THE SHOULDER. I KEEP GOING TO DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND EVERYONE SAYS ITS SOMETHING ELSE AND I HAVE ALREADY SANK OVER $1500 INTO THIS AND YET IT IS STILL HAPPENING WITH NO END IN SIGHT!!
