Description of the problem | I was driving my vehicle on the highway (i-4) on my way to work on 10/24/2019, i was going about 65 mph and suddenly the vehicle decreased speed to about 35 -40 mph, on the instrument panel the wrench light or symbol came on, i was almost rear ended and hit by 2 vehicles traveling at normal speed. As i pressed on the gas pedal the car would not pick up speed, i believe this is called "limp mode'. I was luckily able to avoid the accident by pulling off to the side of the highway. I shut the vehicle off, since i was not sure if it could also be a fire hazard. Waited a few minutes and looked up the issue on the internet. I turned the vehicle back on and it was as if nothing had ever happened. I was able to get back on the road and i thought maybe it was just a malfunction. I was very scared but drove into work with no idling issues. Saturday 10/26/2019 i was on my way to the grocery store and it happened again, near my house on a residential road. I was going about 35-40 and all of the sudden the vehicle once again slowed down, this time to about 10-15 mph. Once again, i was almost rear ended, i was able to pull onto the side of the road, this time i called a tow truck. I waited a few hours and nothing. I shut the vehicle off and drove home, about half a mile. Once again the dashboard clear and car drove off with no issue. Car was taken to dealership on 10/26/2019. It is currently being looked at but i do not feel safe driving this vehicle. |
