Consumer Description

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 6 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS OF 2003 TO HAVE FIXED. SUPPOSEDLY THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE ON THE THIRD SERVICE TIME, BUT WITHIN 4 DAYS THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. EACH TIME I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE THEY INSIST THE PROBLEM IS FIXED, YET THE SAME THING KEEPS HAPPENING, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF FOR NO REASON. THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME THEY DO NOT KNOW WHY THIS IS HAPPENING AND SUPPOSEDLY THEY TAKE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND IT DOESN'T HAPPEN FOR THEM. *NLM
