Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60MPH AND SUDDENLY THE GAS PEDAL SEEMED TO LOSE PRESSURE. THEN ALL OF THE LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH AS THE CAR STOPPED. I HAD TO WAIT ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND TRY RESTARTING 10+ TIMES UNTIL IT FINALLY WOULD STAY RUNNING AND ALLOW US TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. THIS OCCURED WITH 80 MILES LEFT UNTIL EMPTY. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IT HAS HAPPENED ON A TRIP. WE HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVING 1.5 HOURS.
