Consumer Description

AT RANDOM, MY VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF OR DIE CAUSING ME TO LOOSE THE ABILITY TO STEER. IT CAN STALL WHILE WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT, OR TURNING LEFT. MOST RECENTLY IT STALLED WHILE I WAS TURNING LEFT AND I ALMOST HIT A PARKED CAR SINCE I HAD NO STEERING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 12 TIMES. ONE TIME IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN ONE DAY. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. ITS SEEMS TO STALL AFTER I WAS STOPPED AND WAITING OR WHEN I DECELERATE. *NM
