Consumer Description

COMPLETE ENGINE SHUT-OFF, WITHOUT WARNING OR STUMBLING, INCLUDING ALL SUPPORT SYSTEMS (POWER STEERING AND BRAKES, ETC). NO DASH LIGHTS, ETC. AFTER 30 SECONDS, CAR RESTARTS. HAS NOW HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. DEALER HAS EXAMINED AND OFFERS NO EXPLANATION OR FIX, BECAUSE THEY CAN'T "REPLICATE" THE PROBLEM, AND CAR THROWS NO CODES WHEN FAILURE OCCURS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE SUDDENNESS OF THE FAILURE LEAVES LITTLE TIME TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, SOMETIMES FORCING DRIVER TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! *TR
