Consumer Description

4 INCIDENTS ENGINE FAILURE. FIRST TIME I PUSHED ACCELATOR AND THERE WAS NO POWER. CONTINUED TO APPLY GAS PEDAL AND NO POWER, IT WAS AS IF I WAS NOT APPLYING THE GAS AT ALL. CHECH ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH, CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE, AND AS SOON AS CHECK ENGINE STOPPED BLINKING AND LIGHT REMAINED ON, THE CAR RAN SMOOTHLY. THE SECOND INCIDENT WAS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE FIRST. THE THIRD INCIDENT THE CAR DID THE SAME EXACT THING BUT THIS TIME IT STALLED OUT AS WELL. 4TH TIME WAS VERY MUCH LIKE THE FIRST TWO. HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.
