Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY BETWEEN 50-60 MPH AND MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER. 2 WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH AND I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND STILL MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING AND AGAIN I COULD NOT INCREASE MY SPEED. I PULLED OVER AND PUT ON MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS. REVIEWED MY MANUAL AND WAS ABLE TO READ ABOUT THE WARNING SIGNS. I TURNED OFF MY CAR AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME SAFELY. VERY SCARY DRIVE! I HAD MY 2 GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR TOO. I HAVE NOW READ ABOUT MANY INSTANCES OF THIS HAPPENING. I MAY TRY MY DEALER BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I WILL KEEP THIS CAR.
