Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN MY ESC OFF LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MY CAR SLOWED DOWN TO 20 MPH AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO SPEED UP AT ALL ALMOST CAUSING ME TO BE SMASHED INTO SEVERAL TIMES!! I SHUT MY CAR OFF AND RE STARTED IT AND I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY TO SOMEPLACE SAFE. I AM HAVING MY MECHANIC LOOK AT IT NOW BUT AFTER LOOKING ON FORUMS, I SEE IT IS PROBABLY THE TPS AND I SEE THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN! WHY IS THIS NOT RECALLED?!?! THIS IS BEYOND A SAFETY ISSUE!
