| Description of the problem | My car has lost power while driving. It has now happened 3 times. Luckily it has happened while on a road and not the highway. There are other times when i'm stopped at a red light or stop sign and i can feel the car losing power and/or sputtering. The car will turn on after trying a few tries and will have the engine and traction control alerts lights on. Sometimes i will have to keep pushing on the gas while stepping on the break to keep the engine revving so the car doesn't die. The are also times when it seems the car loses power momentarily then keeps going. Very scary and dangerous. |
