Consumer Description

THE ENGINE WILL DIE AT ANY TIME WITH OUT WARNING. THIS HAPPENS FAIRLY OFTEN. SOMETIMES AFTER TRYING TO RESTART IT WILL RESTART WITH NO DELAY AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL TAKE A FEW MINUTES. THEN IT WILL RUN NORMALLY FOR NO SPECIFIC AMOUNT OF TIME. THEN IT WILL DIE AGAIN. INCIDENCES MAY OCCUR HUNDREDS OF MILES IN BETWEEN. THE DEALER SAYS THEY DON'T KNOW WHY IT WOULD DO THIS AND IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT HAPPENS SPONTANEOUSLY AND IT USUALLY RESTARTS QUICKLY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND TURNING THE VEHICLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD WHEN THE ENGINE DIES IS VERY HARD TO DO. *TR
