ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK ON FRIDAY JUNE 22ND, THE CAR WAS RUNNING VERY ROUGH AND I HAD TROUBLE BRAKING. ON MONDAY JUNE 25. I HAD BEEN AT A STOPLIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I ACCELERATED AND WHEN I WAS AT ABOUT 25 MPH I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL, AND HAD TROUBLE GAINING SPEED AND THE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED ON MY FLASHERS AND MADE IT TO A MECHANIC, BUT BY THAT TIME THE LIGHT HAD GONE OFF. EVERY MECHANIC I HAVE TALKED TO TELLS ME THEY CAN NOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM IS AND FIX IT UNLESS THE LIGHT IS ON WHEN I BRING IN THE CAR. WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON I HAVE TROUBLE ACCELERATING AND BRAKING IS VERY HARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO TO GET THIS FIXED - NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO DEAL WITH THIS. *TR
