Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40MPH MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED DINGING AND BLINKING. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS OF THIS THE ENGINE POWERED DOWN ( RPM READ 0). ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS STAYED ON (RADIO, LIGHTS, ECT) THEN WITHIN 10 SECONDS THE ENGINE STARTED BACK UP. WHEN THE VEHICLE RESTARTED ITSELF THE ESP SHOWED BEING DISABLED AND THE RPM'S WHERE HIGHER THAN NORMAL. ANY ACCELERATION/DECELERATION THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD DING AND BLINK. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE IT FIRST OCCURRED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO TWO MECHANICS TO BE SERVICED. THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED RANDOM CODES AT BOTH SHOPS. *TR
