Consumer Description

THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN SUDDENLY WITH LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES ONCE WHILE ON A RAMP ENTERING THE EXPRESSWAY AND A SECOND TIME WHILE ON THE EXPRESSWAY. EACH ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I WAS ABLE TO RE-START THE ENGINE. THIS HAPPENED SHORTLY AFTER BUYING THE CAR AND THE ETM AND MAF WERE REPLACED THEN. SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS SINCE THERE HAS BEEN A VARIATION OF ENGINE SPEED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED. THE DEALER WAS NEVER ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. I JUST HAD THIS FIXED (AT A COST OF $1,326.68) SINCE IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY.
