| Description of the problem | Our 2008 pathfinder lost all power in the middle of the freeway, causing others cars to swerve to miss hitting us. After about 30 seconds we were able to regain a little bit of speed ( about 30 mph) to be able to pull off the freeway and head down an exit ramp. This experience was very scary for my family and i with two young kids in the back seat, with cars passing us at speeds upward of 70 mph. Even on the way home that night, the suv would start to drive at normal speed, then suddenly come to almost a complete stop at about 5 mph. |
