Description of the problem | I was pulling out into fast oncoming highway cross traffic when i lost all accelerating power. Traffic had to swerve around me and i narrowly avoided being struck multiple times before i could get off to the side of the road. There had been no prior warnings of this failure. At the dealership i was told the control module for the accelerator had failed and they had to reprogram it. Being that i could have been killed, i felt this failure should be reported to you. |
