Consumer Description

MY CAR STALLED AGAIN ON JULY 26TH. IN THIS INSTANCE, I WAS ON THE FREEWAY DRIVING ON THE ON-RAMP BETWEEN 5-10 MPH. MY CAR STALLED COMPLETELY, HOWEVER, THIS TIME THE ELECTRICAL WAS STILL ON. I PANICKED BECAUSE I WAS STILL MOVING IN TRAFFIC. THANK GOD I WAS ABLE TO BREAK IN TIME AND RESTART MY CAR ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT BECAUSE I COULD'VE GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT VERY EASILY WITH CARS DIRECTLY IN FRONT AND BEHIND ME. I WAS TOLD AT THE LAST SERVICE THAT ALL RECALLS WERE COMPLETED ON THE VEHICLE. SPECIFICALLY THE BATTERY CABLE WHICH CAUSED MANY PREVIOUS Z4 TO STALL RANDOMLY. THE STALLING IS STILL OCCURRING ON THIS VEHICLE AFTER THE RECALL. *TR
