| Description of the problem | First time 2013 occured on freeway about 3 hrs into drive. While on the freeway at 75 mph the car began loosing power n speed quickly. Thought cars were going to slam into car. Pulled over turned off n placed key in charging compartment. 15 mins or so turned on n ran fine after that. 2015 on busy freeway began loosing power n speed. Pulled over placed key again then worked fine. 2016 its happened twice again on freeway going uphill speed dropped quickly. I thought semi-truck was going to slam. Scarred to death manage to pull out at 35 mph from 75mph. Disconnected battery let sit 15 mins worked okay loosing power to 60mph. Following day same thing but nothing helped to reset and speed dropped as low as 20-25mph and had to use manual feature to keep going. Auto tran stopped functioning. Now tran was not shifting. I'd have to ease up on throttle push it down to try n get some power. Very scarry when on freway. |
