Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This is a new liberty crd (diesel) with 610 miles that was accelerating from a border patrol checkpoint on i-8 east of san diego. while accelerating to ~65 the vehicle suddenly lost power in heavy freeway traffic and slowed to 35 mph even though the engine was running good. this sudden loss of power caused overtaking vehicles to swerve violently to avoid an accident including at least 2 panic stops. when the vehicle was safely on the shoulder (engine was idling fine) the car was shutdown and restarted which apparently recycled the computer and cleared the condition. vehicle has performed fine since that incident. *jb
