WHEN I'M DRIVING, ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING A CORNER, MY CAR SUDDENLY DECELERATES FOR SEVERAL SECONDS EVEN WHEN I'M PRESSING THE EXCELERATOR. IF I NEEDED POWER IN A CRUNCH SITUATION, I WOULD BE OUT OF LUCK. THIS MAINLY HAPPENS DURING IN-TOWN DRIVING. I'VE EXPERIENCED THIS MANY TIMES BUT THIS IS MY 1ST REPORT.
