VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE BUCKED AND INSTANTANEOUSLY SLOWED DOWN AND WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. AT THAT MOMENT WHEN THE VEHICLE BUCKED THE DASH INDICATOR (A WRENCH) CAME ON SHOWING THE PROBLEM BEING THE THROTTLE CONTROL/POWERTRAIN. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE LANE, IN TRAFFIC WHEN I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO NAVIGATE TO THE RIGHT AND COAST TO THE EXIT THAT WAS LESS THAN A QUARTER MILE FROM THE INCIDENT. I PLACED IT INTO PARK AND IT SPUTTERED JUST PRIOR TO TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY. AFTER WAITING ABOUT 10 MINUTES I THEN RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE DASH INDICATOR DID NOT COME ON, I THEREFORE PROCEEDED AND DROVE IT HOME. BECAUSE THIS OCCURRED LATE EVENING I WAS NOT ABLE TO CONTACT THE DEALER UNTIL THE FOLLOWING DAY. *TR
