01/20/2007 | 7 | 06/29/2006 | |
Riding down the road, stopping at a stop light/stop sign, and taking off from sign/light. acts like it's going to cut off and sometimes does. when i take off, i'm not sure whether it's going to go or cut off (sorta like you maybe getting ready to run out of gas)close to several accidents. if this vehicle cuts off in the middle of crossing roads/4 lanes, this could be fatal. it's like this problem comes and goes, you never know. sounds and acts like something is clogged up or sticks causing loss of engine vaccum. nothing has been done about this and i can't afford to get it looked at anytime soon. also, scared to go out at night with not knowing what could happen. *tr | |||
