Consumer Description

WHILE IN MOTION AT ANY RATE OF SPEED, VEHICLE WILL LOOSE POWER TO ACCELERATE (ALL INTERNAL ELECTRONICS ARE STILL ACTIVE, HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE STALLS). THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES RESULTING IN NEAR CRASHES DUE TO INABILITY TO ACCELERATE TO PULL OVER. FUEL PUMP REPLACED RECENTLY IN 2018, INCLUDING A TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE. MULTIPLE CODES ARE BEING THROWN WHICH ARE BROAD SPECTRUM AND UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. I OWN THIS VEHICLE AND REQUIRE IT FOR WORK TRANSPORTATION, INCLUDING THE TRANSPORTATION OF CHILDREN. I AM TERRIFIED THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND I CANNOT GET OVER IN TIME TO AVOID BEING REAR ENDED OR WORSE. THE DATE SELECTED BELOW IS THE FIRST TIME THIS INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN MORE THAN TWICE A WEEK
