Consumer Description

I WAS PULLING OUT INTO FAST ONCOMING HIGHWAY CROSS TRAFFIC WHEN I LOST ALL ACCELERATING POWER. TRAFFIC HAD TO SWERVE AROUND ME AND I NARROWLY AVOIDED BEING STRUCK MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THERE HAD BEEN NO PRIOR WARNINGS OF THIS FAILURE. AT THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THE CONTROL MODULE FOR THE ACCELERATOR HAD FAILED AND THEY HAD TO REPROGRAM IT. BEING THAT I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED, I FELT THIS FAILURE SHOULD BE REPORTED TO YOU. *TR
