Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ALONG AT 55 AND THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF . IT DIDN'T DO IT AGAIN FOR A ALMOST 2 YEARS .NOTHING WAS PREDICTABLE AND SOMETIMES MONTHS WOULD PASS AND SOMETIMES IT WOULD HAPPEN WITHIN MILES OF THE LAST OCCURRENCE UNTIL ABOUT JANUARY 2014 I MADE A 50 MILE TRIP AND ON THE RETURN 50 MILES IT WOULD SHUT DOWN EVERY 1 TO 2 MILES WHILE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE. I LAST DROVE IT WHEN IT SHUT DOWN AS I WAS PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC ACROSS LANES AND IT STALLED LEAVING ME SITTING WITH A FAST APPROACHING CAR ONTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE . I TOOK IT HOME WHERE IT NOW SITS , MECHANICALLY IN GOOD CONDITION WITH A BAD STARTING SYSTEM THAT SEEMS COMMON ON THE INTERNET ALTHOUGH NO ONE SITE CAN PINPOINT THE CAUSE . *TR
