Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THE SUV JUST SHUT OFF. NOT A STALL BUT A COMPLETE ELECTRICAL SHUTDOWN. ALL LIGHTS, GAUGES AND ENGINE SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENED AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH ON A LONG DOWN GRADE. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO A STOP IN THE ROADWAY AND UPON PLACEMENT INTO PARK, WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THIS SITUATION NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS APPROACHING CARS SAW NO BRAKE LIGHTS AND THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE ROADWAY TO BE RESTARTED. CURRENTLY THIS VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALER AND NO PROBLEM CAN BE FOUND. IT HAS BEEN ROAD TESTED OVER 75 MILES WITHOUT ADDITIONAL FAILURE. SINCE THIS IS THE SECOND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY IS A REAL CONCERN. *JB
