| Description of the problem | While driving on the highway at 70 mph (cruise control enabled) the car started surging as if someone were pumping the gas pedal. It did this for approximately 10 seconds then the engine died. I was in traffic and it took a few seconds to figure out what had happened. I was lucky to have a manual transmission because the second i pressed on the clutch i lost all power steering and power brake function. I was in the middle of traffic and cars started passing me on either side. This could have easily led to an accident. I will be taking it in to the dealer asap. *jb |
