Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY 2009 FORD ESCAPE IT BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR EVEN MORE, BUT THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE HALT AND THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD ALL TURNED ON. I BRAKED, PLACE IT TO PARKING AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. I RESTART THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AWAY. THIS HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES ALREADY IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS. EACH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED, I'VE BEEN DRIVING LESS THAN 40 MPH. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE SHOP TO GET SCANNED AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DETECTED.
