Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE, THE PROPULSION REDUCED WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WENT FROM 70 MPH TO 10 MPH. I WAS DRIVING UP A GRADE IN THE LATE EVENING. I HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS BUT NO MILES LEFT ON THE ELECTRIC CHARGE INDICATOR. AFTER I PULLED OVER AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND INSISTED I COME GET THE CAR. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE A CAR IF IT REDUCES ITS SPEED/ POWER FOR NO REASON.
