| Description of the problem | While traveling at highway speed my vehicle experienced near instant loss of more than 50% engine power with continual lost of the remaining power. Moving from the middle lane into the right lane was difficult and risky during heavy traffic. I was lucky finding a safe spot to pull over. Ambling to the safe spot the engine sputtered, hesitated and reacted very little to any foot action on the throttle, leaving me without the ability to effectively control the vehicle. |
