Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ABOUT 70 MILES PER HOUR SPEED, CAR SUDDENLY LOSS ACCELERATION POWER. HOWEVER, THE CAR RADIO WAS STILL ON. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. SAT THERE ABOUT 2 MINUTES. TURNED CAR BACK ON, AND WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE AGAIN AND CAR STARTED TO OPERATE PROPERLY. VERY SCARY TO BE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED AND SUDDENLY LOOSE ACCELERATION POWER. THANK GOD IT WAS A SUNDAY MORNING WITHOUT MUCH TRAFFIC AND I WAS ALREADY IN THE FAR LEFT LANE. OTHERWISE, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD, WITH ANOTHER CAR STRIKING ME BECAUSE I SUDDENLY DECELERATED AND STOPPED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED SUCH PROBLEMS. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY.
