| Description of the problem | On two occasions about a week apart, after slowing to make a right turn, the car suddenly lost all power mid turn for approximately 4 seconds. This caused the cars behind me to have to slam on their brakes & i was nearly hit both times. No check engine light came on. I called the dealer & was told the cvt causes pauses, however this was way too long & extremely dangerous. The service representative told me i could bring the car in for a test drive, but because it only happens occasionally it would be hard to duplicate. Also if the check engine light didn't come on there would be no code. |
