Consumer Description

COMING HOME FROM FLORIDA IN 2013, THE CAR LOST ALL POWER GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. WE WERE ABLE TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER. ONCE WE STOPPED AND LET THE CAR SIT FOR 15-20 MINUTES, WE WERE ABLE TO GO ANOTHER 100-150 MILES BEFORE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED TWICE DRIVING HOME FROM MURFREESBORO. WE WENT TO FLORIDA FOR VACATION THIS YEAR AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY THERE AND ON THE WAY HOME. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH AND TALKING TO SOME MECHANICS, WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE HEARD ABOUT THIS AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM
