Consumer Description

ENGINE SHUTS DOWN INTERMITTENTLY FOR A FEW SECONDS WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAPPENED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AT ALL SPEEDS, ANY ROAD CONDITIONS. THE ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON WHEN IT HAPPENS, MAKING THE CAUSE DIFFICULT TO IDENTIFY. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND/OR DANGEROUS WHEN ACCELERATING ONTO A FREEWAY, CROSSING AN INTERSECTION OR A SET OF R TRACKS. ALMOST HAD ACCIDENTS SEVERAL TIMES. THE CAUSE WAS NOT IDENTIFIABLE UNTIL OTHER SYMPTOMS ALSO HAPPENED. THE CAUSE WAS EVENTUALLY IDENTIFIED AS BURNED CONTACTS IN THE KEY SWITCH. REPLACING THE KEY SWITCH SOLVED THE PROBLEM. *TR
