Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN TO 1/2 POWER AND BEGAN TO SHAKE/VIBRATE. THE TOP SPEED THEN WAS ABOUT 40MPH. I FINALLY PULLED OVER AND READ MANUAL ON HOW TO RESET IT. IT WORKED PROPERLY THEN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 OTHER TIMES. THE LATEST INCIDENT HAPPENED YESTERDAY, WITH OUT USING CRUISE CONTROL. TRAVELING AT 30 MPH IT SHUT ME DOWN AGAIN . ONE OF THE SCARIEST TIMES , I WAS TRAVELING IN 5 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND IT SHUT ME DOWN TO HALF POWER AND IT WAS QUITE DANGEROUS FOR US TO TRY AND MERGE OUT OF THE WAY AND GET OFF TO A SAFE SPOT ON SIDE OF INTERSTATE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, BUT IT SEEMS VERY MUCH LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE WITH ME. THE DEALER ALSO TOLD ME AS WELL AS OTHER AUTO SPECIALIST IS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE AND THAT IT WILL COST ABOUT 700 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE CABLE ASSEMBLY. *TR
