Consumer Description

I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO A BUSY STREET. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR TO GAIN SPEED AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND WAS THEN ABLE TO ACCELERATE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP HAD THE CAR FOR A WEEK AND SAID THE CAR WAS FIXED WITHOUT GIVING MUCH OF AN EXPLANATION. I HAD THE CAR BACK FOR 2 DAY AND IT HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN TWICE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE HAD IT FOR AN ADDITIONAL WEEK WITH NO DIAGNOSIS. THEY SAY THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED TO DRIVE THE CAR AS THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON THREE OCCASIONS ON BUSY STREETS AND IT IS VERY DANGERS.
