Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY CAR BEGAN TO STOP ACCELERATING BY ITSELF. ONCE THE RPM EXCEEDED THREE, THE EPC LIGHT CAME ON. FURTHER ON DOWN THE ROAD, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SO I HAD THE CODES READ AND WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. THE FOLLOWING DAY I HAD THIS PART REPLACED AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN. THE LIGHTS CAME ON ONCE AGAIN AND AN ADDITIONAL LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL. THIS TIME THE CAR SLOWED DOWN SO MUCH THAT I WAS ALMOST HIT TRYING TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY.
