Consumer Description

CAR HAS SHUT OFF 6-8 TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THE MAJORITY OF TIMES HAVE BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE IN RUSH HOUR. THE FIRST FEW TIMES THIS HAPPENED THE CAR WOULD "SURGE" AND THE LIGHTS INSIDE WOULD FLICKER BEFORE THE REDUCED PERFORMANCE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. EACH TIME IT HAS TAKEN LONGER TO GET THE CAR TO START BACK UP. THE CAR WOULD TURN OVER AND THEN IMMEDIATELY CHOKE DOWN. THE LAST INCIDENT HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING 80 ON THE INTERSTATE AT 5:30PM ON A WEEKDAY. NOW, THE CAR WILL TURN OVER, BUT WILL NOT STAY CRANKED. I HAVE MADE THREE PAYMENTS ON THIS CAR AND HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT FOR TWO MONTHS FOR FEAR THAT I WILL BE KILLED OR STRANDED.
