Consumer Description

DRIVING TIME 11:00AM TO 11:45AM, ROUND TRIP 3.5 MILES, SIDE ROAD, IN MOTION, SUNNY 66. 3 TIMES THE MOTOR DROPPED POWER, CAR COULD NOT MOVE. MOTOR WAS STILL RUNNING, SHAKING AND LIKE IT WAS NOT GETTING AIR. HAD TO STOP IN TRAFFIC AND TURN OFF VEHICLE AND RESTART. THIS THING IS A DEATH TRAP. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM.
