| Description of the problem | Dry, hot surface on highway. In construction moving through stop and go as two major routes were merging. Approached area going under a overpass, slight downward and sweeping left curve. Speed was approximately 20 mph off and on due to heavy traffic flow. Gently depressed brake to slow then went to gently accelerate and car just quit, had no acceleration. Looked at instrument panel and esc light is on. Be put hazards on, put car in neutral and restarted. Everything went back to normal. Truly terrifying as there would be no way for a tow to even get to me or for me to get out of the car! I was against left side wall, on a curve, under a bridge in a heavy traffic construction zone in cleveland! Dealership will charge me $115 just to look at it. Reading up i find there will not even be a code so why bother. This issue is dangerous! |
