Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THIS MORNING AND STOPPED AT THE LIGHT TO MAKE THE LEFT TURN (ABOUT 5 MINUTES INTO MY DRIVE). ONCE THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I STEPPED ON THE GAS BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. PUSHING ON THE GAS, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE TO THE MORE THAN 40 MPH. I TURNED THE CAR AROUND TO GO HOME (ABOUT 1 MILE AWAY) AS I DIDN'T FEEL IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND HAD TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT TO MAKE THE RIGHT TURN. ONCE STOPPED, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. IT WAS STILL ON AND NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY ACCELERATE, AGAIN NO MORE THAN 40 MPH. THIS WAS SCARY AND DANGEROUS. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
