| Description of the problem | The check engine light would come on and go off.. I was driving around 60 mph the car shifted into neutral and lost power... I was able to steer to the side of the road but i was in three lanes wide of traffic on the highway and had i not been in the lane closed to the side of the road i could have been badly injured. Within the time frame of three weeks it happened 4 times... All when i was driving highway speeds except once the car shifted into neutral on its own and powered down when i was at a stop sign in town. The check engine lights comes and goes so fast by the time i can get to a repair shop and have it scanned its usually off. I was able to scan it once and it read a code for "transmission control module"... The car runs great but i don't understand why it just powers down. How many people have to get injured from this failure before someone fixes it! This is absurd! |
