Consumer Description

DRIVING VEHICLE, ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS BLINK ON AND OFF, CARS STALLS, BRAKES AND STEERING LOCK UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 15 TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS, AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. ALSO, SOMETIMES THE ENGINE FAN WON'T SHUT OFF WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF, AND IT DRAINS THE CAR BATTERY. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES. THAT PART IS GETTING EXPENSIVE AND VERY IRRITATING, BUT THE STALLING OUT AND COMPLETELY DYING, IS VERY DANGEROUS, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET OFF THE ROAD. *TR
