Consumer Description

ON TWO OCCASIONS, WHEN DRIVING IN WET WEATHER AT 50-60 MILES AN HOUR ON A 2 LANE ROAD, I ACCELERATED TO PASS A VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE SUDDENLY LOST POWER, WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" AND THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE PASSING MANEUVER SAFELY DUE TO LOSS OF ACCELERATION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED CONTINUALLY AS THE VEHICLE COASTED TO AN EVENTUAL STOP. PULLED OFF ROAD, TURNED VEHICLE OFF, AND THEN RESTARTED IT AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER BLINKING, VEHICLE WAS OPERATING NORMALLY. SUDDEN LOSS OF ACCELERATION IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND COULD EASILY RESULT IN A COLLISION.
