| Description of the problem | While driving at 65mph on highway, there was a sudden loss of acceleration. It was as if i had let go of the gas pedal. Of course the pedal was at the same position and did not change. I let go of the pedal and repressed it and noticed that i got my power back. It does this intermittently for the last two months. No code errors appearing on dash or obd reading. Will happen at any given speed. Other issue is the driver side break light will work for a few weeks and then burn out, in which it will leave the remaining center and passenger brake light permanently on while the headlights are turned on. So it appears that i am breaking but i am not. Only temporary fix is to remove the left bulb from its socket. |
