Consumer Description

VEHICLE IS STALLING AND LOSING COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER, VERY HARD TO STEER VEHICLE. OCCURS USUALLY AT LOW SPEEDS, WHILE TURNING OR JUST DRIVING STRAIGHT. I HAVE TO PLACE MY VEHICLE IN PARK & RESTART MY ENGINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE WHILE I WAS TURNING IN TRAFFIC & NEARLY COLLIDED WITH OTHER VEHICLES WITH 3 SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I HAVE REQUESTED FOR THIS TO BE DIAGNOSED AND RESEARCHED SEVERAL TIMES BY MECHANICS, BUT THE DEFECT HAS NEVER BEEN DUPLICATED, RESULTED IN A DIAGNOSIS, OR RESOLVED BY A MECHANIC. IT RANDOMLY OCCURS AND JUST OCCURRED AGAIN TODAY IN TRAFFIC, WHILE TURNING LEFT ON AN INSIDE LANE. I HAD CARS BEHIND AND NEXT TO ME. I HAD TO COME TO A SLOW STOP, BUT WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL ENOUGH TO REMAIN IN MY LANE, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I FEEL THIS CAN RESULT IN A POTENTIALLY FATAL ACCIDENT AND WANT TO REPORT THIS IMMEDIATELY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ASIDE FROM SEEKING LEGAL COUNSEL AT THIS POINT. *TR
