| 2011 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | I WAS DRIVING AT 30 MPH AND LOOKING TO CHANGE LANES. I BACKED OFF THE THROTTLE TO LET ONE CAR PASS. JUST WHEN THERE WAS AN OPENING IN TRAFFIC AND I WAS READY TO ACCELERATE, THE COMPUTER TOOK FULL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR AND RAPIDLY SLOWED TO 10 MPH. AT THIS POINT THERE WAS NO LONGER AN OPENING IN TRAFFIC AND I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND WAIT FOR ANOTHER OPENING IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE AN EXCELLENT DRIVING RECORD AND I DID NOT ACCOMPLISH THIS BY DOING STUPID THINGS LIKE COMING TO A DEAD STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD FOR NO REASON. I CONTINUED ON. A QUARTER OF A MILE DOWN THE ROAD I BACKED OFF THE THROTTLE TO SLOW FOR A CURVE. AGAIN THE COMPUTER TOOK FULL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE BOGGED TERRIBLY. FOR THE NEXT 5 SECONDS I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. AGAIN I AM SLOWING FOR NO REASON AND CREATING A HAZARD. I CONTINUED ON. TWO MILES DOWN THE ROAD I STOPPED FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I WAS LOOKING TO MAKE A HALF LEFT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I EASED FORWARD AT TWO MILES AN HOUR WAITING FOR AN OPENING IN TRAFFIC. WHEN THERE WAS AN OPENING IN TRAFFIC, I BEGAN MY TURN AND STEPPED ON THE GAS. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED AT THE SAME SPEED AND THEN BEGAN TO ACCELERATE VERY SLOWLY. I NEARLY GOT HIT BY AN ONCOMING CAR. THE OTHER DRIVER DID NOT EXPECT ME TO CONTINUE MY TURN AT 2 MPH. I CONTINUED ON. ANOTHER TWO MILES DOWN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE FAILED AGAIN. I WAS EASING FORWARD AT 2 MPH, WAITING FOR AN OPENING IN TRAFFIC TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. WHEN IT WAS CLEAR I BEGAN MY TURN AND GAVE THE CAR THROTTLE. AGAIN THE CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE. I WAS THEN FORCE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WAIT FOR A VERY LARGE OPENING IN TRAFFIC. AGAIN THE DRIVERS BEHIND ME ARE WONDERING WHY I AM STOPPING FOR NO REASON. ALL FOUR FAILURES HAPPENED WITHIN 5 MILES. I NEED MORE ROOM TO DESCRIBE TH |
