| Description of the problem | I was driving about 40 mph and the car just started slowly down even though i was pressing the gas pedal all the way to the floor. The gas pedal was not responding. The car would not pick up speed and i thought the headlights where dimming out but i'm not completely sure. I was panicking because other vehicles were behind me. I put on my hazard lights. I was able to pull to the shoulder of the rode. I placed the car in park for a few minutes and then tried to drive again. The car picked up speed after that. Very scary on a dark rode at night. |
