When driving below 45mph the engine will totally die. Vehicle will jerk so hard that the consumer is thrown foward. The tackometer will register 0-RPM. Engine will die when in reverse. Vehicle has been in shop April 27th computer was reprogramed. Problem occurred again on May 11th. Consumer was denied service, and again on May 26th. Dealer is ordering a cluster module. Manufacturer states that this should work since the tackometer was not the problem. Vehicle is at the dealership at this time. Consumer is being told that they do not know what the problem is.
