| Description of the problem | On 6/12/13 and 6/13/13 there were 4 incidents of sudden loss of power. Two occurrences were turning after stopping at a traffic light and two occurrences were from driving straight ahead on a city street. In all instances there was a sudden loss of power, the car did not respond to depressing the accelerator petal. The engine did not stop but seemed to shutter. Fortunately the traffic each time was light and i was able to steer the car to a safe location where i turned the engine off and restarted the engine. After a engine restart the problem went away. If this had happened during a peak traffic period or on a crowed freeway the results could have been a major crash. |
