Consumer Description

I WAS ON THE FWY AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR SHUT DOWN ON ME IT COMPLETELY TURN OFF. SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IT DOES THE SAME PROBLEM WHEN I'M ON THE FWY OUT OF NO WHERE THE CAR SHUT DOWN. I HAVE TO WAIT A FEW MINUTES UNTIL I CAN TURN ON AGAIN I ALMOST GOT INTO A HUGE ACCIDENT WITH A BIG RIG AND I HAD MY MANAGER WHO WITNESS HOW THE CAR JUST SHUT DOWN. I FEEL THAT THE CAR IS VERY UNSAFE STEERING WHEEL NOT STABLE CORRECTLY AND I FEEL THAT IT HAS SOME KIND OF ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BUT THE WEIRD PART NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES UP TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP MORE THEN 3X AND THEY SAID THE CAR WAS PERFECTLY FINE. *TR
