Consumer Description

I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY, GOING ABOUT 65 MPH WHEN THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT ON MY DASH CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER AND COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. ONCE I SHOWED TO A STOP I CUT THE ENGINE OFF, WHICH STALLED AND SHOOK WHILE IT TURNED OFF. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS I TURNED THE ENGINE BACK ON, AND AFTER A QUARTER MILE THE RED LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD TO RESTART THE PROCESS. HAD A MECHANIC READ IT WITH A COMPUTER BUT NO ERROR CAME UP, AS THE LIGHT WASN'T ON AT THE MOMENT. ON THE WAY HOME IT CUT OFF AGAIN.
