Consumer Description

DRIVING AT 40 MPH, ALL POWERED FUNCTIONS SHUT OFF - NO POWER STEERING, HARD TO BRAKE, AND ENGINE JUST QUITS. ALL "IDIOT" LIGHTS COME ON: FUEL, OIL, STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL... JUST LIKE BEFORE YOU IMMEDIATELY START THE CAR, WHERE ALL LIGHTS FLASH ON. AFTER TWO MINUTES OF REST - I TRY THE CAR AGAIN AND IT STARTS. TODAY, (7/15), THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF EACH OTHER. THE FIST INCIDENT WAS EXACTLY A WEEK FROM TODAY ON 7/08, SAME SPEED, SAME ROAD. THE CART JUST QUITS. I AM USING THIS CAR FOR THIS SUMMER WHERE IT IS ACTUALLY OWNED BY MOTHER. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED FROM JIM O'BRIEN CHEVROLET IN WILLOUGHBY HILLS, OH. *TR
