Consumer Description

OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS, THE LAST INCIDENT OCCURRING ON 2/14/2014, MY CAR WILL SUDDENLY LOSE POWER AS I AM DRIVING, FOR ABOUT ONE TO THREE SECONDS, THEN JUST AS SUDDEN KICK BACK ON AGAIN. WHEN IT LOSES POWER FOR THAT SECOND OR TWO, I LOSE MY POWER STEERING CAPABILITIES AND THE BATTERY LIGHT COME ON. ONCE THE POWER COMES BACK ON, IT CONTINUES TO RIDE FINE AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL PEP BOYS FACILITY. THEY TESTED THE BATTERY AND IT WAS FINE. THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE WHERE THE ISSUE WAS ORIGINATING. *TR
