| Description of the problem | It started with my driver side window working erratically. Simultaneously, the buttons on my radio quit working, although it randomly kept trying to reprogram "preset 2". Without warning, at 65mph on a busy road, i abruptly lost power and could not maintain speed or accelerate. I also experienced erratic rpm. Currently vehicle will chronically not start due to power failure, even though battery and alternator have been checked and are functioning properly. The sudden and unexpected loss of acceleration and erratic rpm is dangerous. I am unable to drive this vehicle because i fear for my safety. |
