Consumer Description

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AN ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT WILL APPEAR ON THE DASHBOARD AND THEN THE GAS PEDAL NO LONGER WORKS. ALL YOU CAN DO IS ATTEMPT TO SAFELY SLOW DOWN AND GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ONCE AT A COMPLETE STOP, YOU CAN TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. THEN THE CAR SEEMS TO BE BACK TO NORMAL AND THE WRENCH LIGHT GOES AWAY. IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING FOR THE CAR TO JUST SHUT DOWN AT ANY SPEED, LET ALONE HIGH SPEEDS.
