| The pulse generator has failed 4 times now and the dealer cannot seem to fix. the car at times will not accelerate past 20 mph and at other times will accelerate to higher speeds without shifting. when the car will not accelerate past 20 mph it becomes dangerous on a highway or if pulling into traffic. mr | |||
