Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE ENGINE SUDDENLY DIES. ALL POWER STEERING, BRAKES, ETC ARE GONE. I HAVE TO COAST TO A STOP AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 6 TIMES SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN AUGUST OF 2012. ONE DAY IT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN SUCCESSION. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT TOOK PLACE ON JUNE 5, 2014. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING AS THEY CAN NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE WHILE IT IS IN THE SHOP. I AM VERY CONCERNED AS THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE CURRENT HUGE GM RECALL INVOLVING FAULTY IGNITION SWITCHES . I PULL A TRAVEL TRAILER WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE TO HAVE HAPPENING. UP UNTIL NOW IT HAS NOT HAPPENED WHILE TOWING THE TRAILER BUT I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. *JS
