“Vehicle in motion most on highway and sometimes city streets. Sometimes the car will bog down usually between 40--65 MPH when accelerating and also while not. Took to dealership they keyed it (test) and said manifold sensor or sensor about $1500.00 repair. Got this fixed and car still doing it. This has been going on for at least 5 years that I know of. I don't drive vehicle all the time but when it gets drove it happens. The last time this happened was 2 weeks ago. Its was going on at about 50000 miles”
