problem #2

Lancer

  • Manual transmission
  • 30,708 miles
Whenever driving, my vehicle suddenly stops accelerating over 2500 RPM's. when on the highway, it causes my car to drastically slow down, and I am forced to quickly move to the side of the road to avoid a collision. Dealer has replaced the app sensor on the vehicle twice already within several months, and is currently replacing it a third time. Very dangerous when on the highway.
