| Description of the problem | On several occasions, the vehicle lost all power while in motion. It happened while driving 55mph, it has happened while driving 20 mph, as well as just sitting at a stop light. Every other time the vehicle is started, the check engine light comes then goes off, on/off, on/off etc... And just as often as the lights changes the shifting it's extremely hard when shifting gears. Then the very next day, it runs perfectly fine. However, it reaches extremely high rpm's before shifting. When it does that, it literally feels like the bottom of the car is going to fall out from underneath. Maybe pure coincidence but none of this started until i had taken the vehicle in for recall notifications. I contacted the dealer when it happened and they said nothing they did would have caused any of this to happen. And of course, when you take it to have someone look at it, it never runs "other than normal". The vehicle is only going on almost 5 yrs old, and has 68,530 miles. |
