Consumer Description

MY 2011 GMC TERRAIN WHILE DRIVING 45 MILES DOWN ROAD THE LOSE OF POWER LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN CAUSING ME TO ALMOST HAVE A ACCIDENT. THE CAR WOULD RUN BUT SHAKE REAL BADLY. I STOPPED THE CAR AND TURNED OFF FOR 5MIN AND RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME BUT HAD TO DO THIS AT LEAST 3 TIMES GETTING THERE.I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON, BUT I DO KNOW I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE IN THE PROCESS. MY CAR SEEMS TO BURN AIOT OF OIL TOO HERE LATELY, LIKE ITS DRINKING WATER.
