| Description of the problem | I was driving eastbound on the 10 fwy , about 40mph and in the first lane because i had just got on freeway about 1 1/2 ago and while i was driving i felt the peddle lose power so i tried to accelerate by pushing a little harder and i felt the car gaining no speed only slowing down then i look at gauges and all gauges were non functional as if the car was off, it was then that i noticed i had no control in steering either the car was just completely died. As i coasted to a stop just a little between the first lane and emergency lane i was able to put the car into park, quickly, and turn the key back to the on position as then i also noticed the key was not in on position. Very scary and that's the whole reason i started to look into this matter and found out about this recall. I will provide vin number upon request if needed. Feel free to contact me at the number provided below. |
