THE VEHICLE JERKED WHILE ON A STATE HIGHWAY REPEATEDLY UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND THEN IT FAILED. FOUND OUT THAT THE IGNITION COILS HAD COMPLETELY BURNED UP, WHICH I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER IS VERY UNUSUAL. ONCE THE IGNITION COILS WERE REPLACED, THEY DETERMINED THE PCM(COMPUTER) HAD TO BE REPLACED.
