Consumer Description

ON 1/31/2021 I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE LEFT SHOULDER BEFORE I BECOME A HAZARD. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THE CAR STARTED CLICKING AS IF I HAD A DEAD BATTERY. THE CAR STARTED AFTER SITTING FOR 10 MINUTES. THE CAR ACCELERATED LIKE NORMAL BUT LOST ALL ACCELERATION AFTER 2 MILES. I CALLED TOW. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM I HAD A FEW MONTHS BEFORE AND HAD TO BE TOWED. AAA CHECKED THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY AND THE CHARGING SYSTEM WAS SHOWING NORMAL. THIS IS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT COMES AND GO BUT CAN NOT BE DIAGNOSED BECAUSE OF NO ACTIVE CODES. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT CAN LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT.
