Consumer Description

ON TWO OCCASIONS THERE HAS BEEN A SUDDEN LOSS OF ACCELERATION. THIS HAPPENED AFTER MAKING A STOP AT A STOP SIGN/TRAFFIC LIGHT AT A MAIN HIGHWAY INTERSECTION. THE RPM'S WENT UP BUT THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION AT ALL (I WAS JUST BARELY COASTING MAYBE 3 MPH)! ONCE I WAS AT A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE ACCELERATION WAS FINE. THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT EACH TIME. THE DEALERSHIP SAID, BECAUSE THERE WERE NO CODES GIVEN WHEN THEY CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND NO SERVICE BULLETINS POSTED, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION AND I HOPE THAT SOMEONE TAKES THE INITIATIVE TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT HAPPENS!
