Description of the problem | I was driving in congested morning traffic and the engine stalled. The wrench indicator light popped on as i lost acceleration. I was able to coast on to the median. However, i was almost struck from behind by another car. After about 30 seconds, the car started back up and i immediately went to work and made it home without problems this evening. After researching on the internet, it appears this is a recurring problem and just a matter of time before someone gets seriously injured or hurt. I am afraid to drive now as other complaints indicate this has not only been occurring for quite some time, but it may also continue to happen more frequently and eventually stop running altogether. |
