WHILE GETTING OFF OF PM SHIFT, AROUND 2330, I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN ONLY 3 MILES INTO DRIVING. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE MORE THAN 15 MILES AN HOUR IN A 40MPH ZONE. THE LIGHTNING BOLT FOR ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WAS FLASHING, THEN STOPPED, THEN MY CHECK ENGINE AND MY ANTI SKID(?) WAS LIT UP. I PULLED OVER TO A SIDE STREET, PUT IN PARK ONLY TO HAVE MY ENGINE IDLE AT 2K RPM. THANK GOODNESS I HAD MY PHONE AND A FRIEND WITH SOME CAR KNOWLEDGE. TOLD ME TO LEAVE IN PARK AND RESTART MY CAR. TURNED ON AND ONCE I SHIFTED OUT OF PARK IT HAPPENED AGAIN. HE STAYED ON THE PHONE WITH ME FOR THE REST OF MY DRIVE HOME THAT TOOK ME 45MIN BECAUSE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE ANY FASTER THAN 15. A DRIVE THAT USUALLY WOULD TAKE ME 15 MINUTES TOOK MUCH LONGER. GLAD MY KIDS WEREN'T IN THE CAR BECAUSE I ALMOST GOT HIT 2X BY 18 WHEELERS COMING OFF OF THE HIGHWAY. NOT TO MENTION IT WAS ONLY 27 DEGREES OUT (WITHOUT THE CHICAGO WIND CHILL)AND WOULD HAVE HAD TO WAIT PROBABLY 30+ MINUTES FOR A TOW OR RIDE TO PICK ME UP HAD IT NOT RESTARTED. BEYOND LIVID THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING AND NOTHING BEING DONE. GOING TO HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS FIX, RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, AWESOME!

THE HEAT SHIELD THAT PROTECTS AND SEPARATES THE GAS TANK FROM MUFFLER PREVENTING THE HEAT FROM THE MUFFLER TO OVERHEAT THE GAS TANK HAS FALLEN FROM THE BRACKETS THAT HOLDS THIS SAFETY / HEAT SHIELD IN PLACE. THIS HEAT SHIELD IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT PREVENTING ANY HEAT TO DAMAGE THE GAS TANK DIRECTLY ABOVE. THE BRACKETS THAT HELD UP THE HEAT SHIELD APPEARED TO BE OF VERY POOR QUALITY AND WOULD TEND TO FAIL FROM MY OBSERVATION. WITHOUT THIS HEAT SHIELD IT APPEARS A GAS TANK FIRE COULD OCCUR IN HOT ENVIRONMENTS OR POSSIBLY AT IDLE WITHOUT ANY AIR MOVEMENT TO COOL THE SPACE BETWEEN THE GAS TANK AND MUFFLER.

WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE BELOW RECALL DESPITE HAVING VEHICLE AT DEALER FOR OTHER ISSUES: THE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN CERTAIN CRASH EVENTS DUE TO A SHORTING CONDITION RESULTING IN A NEGATIVE VOLTAGE TRANSIENT THAT TRAVELS TO THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER VIA THE FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WIRES. RECALL STATUS RECALL INCOMPLETE REMEDY THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER MUST BE REPLACED. SAFETY RISK DESCRPITION THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN SUCH CRASH EVENTS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY IN A CRASH.

THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE GOING 70 MILES AN HOUR, NO WARNING AT ALL. AS SOON AS IT WAS SWITCHED OFF IT RE-STARTED??? NO CODES APPEARING AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.
