Description of the problem | While accelerating on the entrance ramp for central expressway, hwy 75, it became very sluggish, and all of a sudden had no pick up. I nearly got rear ended by a fast truck! Since april of 2011 i noticed that it had no pick up. The problem seemed to go away, when i learned to not accelerate too much to enter the highway, just gradually vs in a hurry. Then today, sept 2011, while driving at apprx 45 mph on a busy road, the car seemed to pull back, and the traction light comes on, and beeps at me. It was a sunny, dry day. I pull over in a parking lot, turn off the engine, to get something out of my trunk, and it would not open - and, no, the override button was not on. Weird. I start the car, and the problem goes away, and i drive safely back to my destination. Why does the problem always exist when i am by myself, and watch, when i take the time off to bring it to the dealership, everything will be just fine. I pray that i make it to the dealership and they diagnose some sort of defect and fix it because it still is under warranty. I cannot bear the worse case scenario of anything happen to my family. |
