Consumer Description
AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY, MY VEHICLE BEGAN ACTING AS IF IT DID NOT WANT TO GET UP TO SPEED AND WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 35MPH WITHOUT DRAMATICALLY JOLTING FORWARD. IT DID THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE SWERVING A BIT AND FINALLY STALLING COMPLETELY, PRESSING THE GAS WOULD DO NOTHING TO GET THE CAR TO SPEED UP. I DID MANAGE TO GET IT TO A SIDE ROAD BEFORE HAVING IT TOWED TO THE DEALER.
