Whenever driving, my vehicle suddenly stops accelerating over 2500 RPM's. when on the highway, it causes my car to drastically slow down, and I am forced to quickly move to the side of the road to avoid a collision. Dealer has replaced the app sensor on the vehicle twice already within several months, and is currently replacing it a third time. Very dangerous when on the highway.

Engine makes ticking sound when first started. Sounds like oil is not getting throughout the engine, even when the oil level is fine.
