| Description of the problem | Incident 1. Weather: cloudy with some snow around 20 degrees. When accelerating on to interstate 70 in e. Illinois the engine stumbled and loss power. The on ramp had an uphill grade and when the vehicle hit 35-40 mph, it lost all power and sounded like it was struggling to get fuel. I was able to pull to the side of the road, put it in park. I tried to rev the engine in park but it would just stumble. I turned the engine off and waited a few minutes then restarted it and it and it seemed to work as expected. This has happened 3 times since march 4th with the last time being on may 9th. Incident 2. Weather: partly cloudy in the 30's., march 7th, same conditions as above engine stumbled and loss power accelerating on to interstate 376 in w. Pa incident 3. Weather: nighttime, in the 60's. Going around 30 mph flat road, speed changed to 55 mph tried to accelerate to the posted speed and again the engine stumbled and loss power. This time the dashboard lit up with a bunch of codes (didn't write them down) again turning the engine off and waiting a few minutes seemed to clear the condition. *note* due to a heavy work schedule and needing my vehicle i have not had a chance to get my vehicle into the dealer to have them look at it yet. |
