Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING 75-80 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO CHANGE LANES ( I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE WHEN I LOST POWER) AND PULL OVER. ALL THE LIGHTS WERE ON (CHECK ENGINE, AT OIL TEMP, BATTERY,ECT) AND WHAT I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR, IT STALLED. EVERY TIME I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN, IT WOULD STALL. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG. ABOUT A YEAR AGO, THE SAME THING HAPPENED EXCEPT WITHOUT THE LIGHTS AND STALLING. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT IT I PROBABLY WAS HITTING THE GAS AND BREAK AT THE SAME TIME. I DRIVE WITH ONE FOOT, ALWAYS HAVE.
