| Description of the problem | My wife and two young daughters were driving to the post office. They stopped at a light and when my wife tried to accelerate after the green light changed there was no response... The engine just roared. It was fortunate they were on a slope so my wife was able to cost off the roadway. This would have been a terribly dangerous situation if she was stuck in the middle of a busy road where a rear end collision could easily happen. There was no warning of this incident and at 57000 miles no reason it should have happened. |
