Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT ABOUT 10 MPH ON THE EXPRESSWAY/STREET, MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF FOR NO REASON AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. I HAD TO RESTART MY VEHICLE. SOMETIMES, WHEN AT A STANCE, THE VECHICLE SHAKES A LITTLE AS IF IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF. I'LL RESTART IT AND IT SEEMS TO HELP A LITTLE BIT. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED AS THE CAR HAS SHUT OFF ON ME AT LEAST 5 SEPARATE TIMES. I FEEL THIS IS A HAZARD FOR MY FOUR YEAR OLD SON AND I. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SERIOUS MATTER. THANK YOU! *TR
