Consumer Description

THERE HAS BEEN AT LEAST 4 TIMES THAT WHILE MY CAR WAS IDLING AT EITHER A RED LIGHT, STOP SIGN, OR WHAT HAVE YOU, MY CAR WOULD JUST SHUT OFF AFTER MAKING A ROUGH IDLING NOISE. THIS SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. IF I WERE TO SHUT MY CAR OFF & TURN IT BACK ON, IT WOULD THEN GO AWAY. IT MADE ME WEARY OF DRIVING BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNEW WHEN OR WHERE THAT COULD HAPPEN. THE SECOND INCIDENT WOULD BE MY POWER STEWING. MY CAR WOULD "DING" AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WOULD COME ON MAKING MY WHEEL STIFFEN UP IMMEDIATELY. AGAIN, IF I WOULD TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN, THE PROBLEM WOULD STOP... FOR A LITTLE BIT. STARTED OFF AT ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK, THEN ONCE A DAY MAYBE, NOW I CAN'T EVEN GO A BLOCK FROM MY HOUSE WITHOUT IT COMING ON. FRUSTRATING AND DANGEROUS TO SAY THE LEAST. *TR
