Consumer Description

DRIVING APPROX. 15/20 MPH ON A SIDE STREET. WENT TO BACKUP AND TURN AROUND AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUT DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART WITH NO ISSUES. I'M GLAD I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. ON 08/02/13, WENT TO MY DRIVEWAY TO START THE CAR. I GOT A "ENGINE FAULT SERVICE NOW" ERROR. VEHICLE WAS JUMPING AND SEEMED LIKE IT WAS STRUGGLING TO GO PAST 25/30 MPH.
