Check engine light comes on, vehicle has no power, can't accelerate. Shows codes p0340 p0365 u1428. This is the second time this has happened with this vehicle! I was on the freeway and the accelerator pedal is totally unresponsive. Holding it to the floor kept the speed steady until I was able to pull off the side of the road.
Electronic stability control warning light came on. The vehicle would not accelerate even with the gas pedal pushed to the floor. This is very dangerous!!!! I was going 35 in the rain on the freeway when this occurred. Traffic started to speed up and I could could not accelerate to keep up with traffic. It took over a mile to get up to speed. If something should fail, it should not make the car unsafe to operate.
