| Description of the problem | We were driving in the freeway at 65mph, we had been driving about an hour, on the freeway with some traffic but mostly moving normally. Suddenly with no warning nor engine lights, the car reved but didn't respond to the gas pedal. As though it had run out of gas. The low fuel light had gone on already, it turns on around 70 miles to empty, but we still had 50 miles to empty. We pulled over and called roadside assistance to deliver gas since that's all we could figure had happened. After about 30 minutes waiting we decided to try it and just see if it would start and it did! We drove to the next exit and got gas with no further problems, and continued on home after. This was very scary and left my family sitting stranded on the side of the freeway. No engine lights, no codes, nothing obvious to fix. Now i'm nervous to drive with my kids in the car in case it happens again. |
