Consumer Description

WHILE SITTING AT A BUSY INTERSECTION, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY...NO WARNING OR NO INDICATION THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART. A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL OTHER TIMES. LAST NIGHT, I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH WHEN IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN. I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED BY THE CAR BEHIND ME. I TRAVEL 35 MILES EACH WAY TO WORK...INCLUDING SOME HIGHWAYS WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 55MPH. I'M AFRAID IT WILL HAPPEN THERE AND I'LL BE REAR-ENDED BY SOME TAIL-GATER. *TR
