Consumer Description

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY IN LEFT LANE DOING AROUND 60MPH AND CAR GOES INTO LIMP MODE TAKING AWAY ALL THROTTLE CONTROL. I WAS FORCED TO COAST ACROSS LANES NARROWLY AVOIDING A COLLISION AND MANAGED TO PULL INTO A BUS STOP. I LEARNED THAT LIMP MODE IS TO PROTECT THE CAR FROM FURTHER DAMAGE BUT THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVER SHOULD COME FIRST. THERE SHOULD AT LEAST BE SOME KIND OF ADVANCED WARNING TO PULL VEHICLE OVER BEFORE IT SHUTS DOWN. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND ENDANGERS THE LIFE OF THE DRIVER AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD.
