After pulling out onto the highway, car seemed to stall. Wrench light came on, engine was still running, however pushing the gas pedal did nothing. After coasting to a safer spot to pull over, i shut the engine off and started the car again. Drove a few miles down the road before it did the same thing again. Lucky that there wasn't any vehicles behind me to hit me. Glad i wasn't on the interstate, pulling out in…

Vehicle lost power pulling out in traffic (so glad i didnt get hit), would not accelerate and the yellow wrench appeared on the instrument panel. Only way to correct problem was to restart engine (this happened 3 times trying to get home). The third time the service engine soon light came on and i was able to pull the codes and had a p2111 and a p2112. After looking into this issue it looks really common why would…

The only thing i could do was stop my vehicle on the side of the road. I shut the vehicle off and started it back up, to try and move it to a safer location, in which the vehicle continued to lose all power. I finally made it…

I shut the vehicle off, and turned it back on, and it seemed to be fine. 5 minutes later, driving on a four…
