Consumer Description

VEHICLE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY, 2 TO 5 TIMES A WEEK, LOSES POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, RPM, OTHER DASHBOARD INDICATORS, THE ODOMETER READOUT DISPLAYS "NOBUS". THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF THERE IS NO SHOULDER, YOU ARE STOPPED ON THE ROAD. TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER SIDE WIRING HARNESS ON THE COMPUTER (WHICH IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ENGINE WALL) IS PULLED AND REPLACED WITHOUT TURNING OFF THE KEY, A NOISE OCCURS LIKE AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTION .IS BEING MADE, THEN THE VEHICLE CAN USUALLY BE RESTARTED. SOMETIMES THEN THERE IS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, OR NOT! THE DEALERS AND MY LOCAL MECHANIC DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT THE POTENTIAL MUST BE KNOWN SINCE IT SENDS THE "NOBUS" MESSAGE. *TR
