Reported on July 08, 2013
| WHILE DRIVING ON I-95 SOUTH APPROXIMATELY 65-70 MPH IN MODERATELY HEAVY TRAFFIC, AT EXIT 180, THE CAR SOUNDED LIKE IT DROPPED OUT OF GEAR WHILE ACCELERATING. I WAS ABLE TO MERGE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR CONTINUED COASTING AND THE WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. WHEN STOPPED, THE CAR RATTLED AND IDLED VERY HARD AND WAS SHAKING. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND CRANKED THE CAR BACK AND ALL WAS FINE, WRENCH LIGHT AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED 6 MORE TIMES SINCE JULY 8TH 2013, YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE 1 HOUR, ALMOST GOT SLAMMED BY TWO 18 WHEELER TRUCKS. THIS REALLY SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO THIS TYPE OF SITUATION CAN GET PEOPLE KILLED. *TR | |
