  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
While traveling on the highway, the vehicle shutdown without prior warning. The dealership is aware of the problem. The consumer states that the driving performance was sluggish and provided little to no acceleration. The RPM indicator would race to 3000K+rpms whenever the accelerator was pressed. The auto began to hesitate and lurch violently. Shortlty after, the check engine and the tcs lights illuminated on the dashboard and the gear indicator (which was on D5 at the time) began to blink.
