What owners wrote
While driving vehicle would slow down, like there was no gas and motor shut down. Then all of a sudden it will take off. Also, engine light constantly came on. Once while coming across railroad tracks, vehicle attempted to slow down and stop, when all of a sudden it took off, and consumer lost control and went into a ditch.
Consumer has a concern that the speedometer needle would not register the proper speed. The needle would move back and forth while driving. Please provide any further information.
