Reported on Jan 05, 2011
| I WAS MERGING ONTO A BUSY FREEWAY FROM AN ON RAMP SO HAD TO GO SLOWLY TILL THERE WAS AN OPENING. WHEN I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR WHEN THERE WAS A BREAK IN THE TRAFFIC NOTHING HAPPENED. I JUST ROLLED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AT TEN MILES AN HOUR. IT TOOK THE CAR 5 TO 10 SECONDS TO FINALLY ACCELERATE AND THEN IT SLOWLY GAINED SPEED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. VERY SCARY. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT COMPONENT FAILED. THE CAR WAS RUNNING, IT JUST WAS NOT ACCELERATING. TRANSMISSION? ENGINE? SOME COMPUTER FUNCTION? | |
