| 2009 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. MY CAR BEGAN TO SPUTTER A BIT THEN LOST POWER - DID NOT SHUT OFF COMPLETELY BUT THE GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT RESPOND. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. SHUT THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT BACK UP AGAIN WITHOUT A PROBLEM. ABOUT A 1/4 MILE DOWN THE ROAD, SAME THING HAPPENED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS LOW ON GAS, SO I THOUGHT THAT MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM. FILLED THE TANK THE NEXT MORNING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF, DROVE FINE TO WORK. LEFT WORK, WENT TO PICK MY SON UP, AND ON THE WAY HOME (ABOUT AN HOUR OF DRIVING), THE CAR DID THE SAME THING IT HAD DONE BEFORE. THIS TIME, I WAS GOING A LOT FASTER AND IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. VERY SCARY AND VERY DANGEROUS. IT TOOK ME ABOUT 6 TIMES OF SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND STARTING IT UP AGAIN TO GET HOME (WHICH WAS ONLY ABOUT 4 MILES AWAY). |
