Consumer Description

I JUST BOUGHT MY 05 OPTIMA. IT ALSO TURNS ITSELF OFF--WHEN IT WANTS TO. AT FIRST-IT JUST DID IT IN REVERSE. THEN IT STARTED DOING IT DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER-WHO ALSO, COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT. THIS IS SCARY DRIVING THIS CAR. YOU HAVE NO WARNING--IT JUST TURNS EVERYTHING OFF--LIKE YOU NEVER STARTED THE CAR AT ALL. *TR
