Engine: “This is now a repeat problem (3 times). Driving at speed on local roads the car drops to idle speed and there is no response from the gas pedal.

This time it happened as I was turning across the oncoming traffic lane and I was let basically stationary in the oncoming lane.”

Other or unknown: “Vehicle was traveling free from other traffic or obstacles when, without warning, the sunroof glass shattered causing a loud sound that distracted the driver. Resultant glass particles entered the vehicle compartment, causing a minor injury to the right hand of the driver.

Vehicle was traveling at highway speed on interstate 74 eastbound just west of indianapolis, indiana”

When I received the diagnosis I was told that my engine was non operable and I would have to pay ten thousand to change engine. …”
