SUMMARY: ENTERING INTO TRAFFIC, THE CAR WILL GO INTO LIMP MODE. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR JUST CRUZED AT A SNAIL PACE. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS THE TRAFFIC WAS MOVING AND I BEARLY MOVED OUT OF THE WAY. SINCE, I HAD 4 OCCURANCES AND TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER. THEY WILL NOT WORK ON THE CAR UNLESS THE CHECK ENGINE SIGN STAYS ON. THE CAR COMPUTER WILL RESET EVERYTIME YOU START THE CAR. I HAD THE CAR TOW TO THE DEALER THE FIRST TIME AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS, BUT AS I MENTIONED THE DEALER DID NOT WANTED TO RECOGNIZE THE SITUATION.
