Consumer Description

VEHICLE WILL SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS IDLING OR AT SPEED -ANY SPEED. THE ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN, STEERING LOCKS UP AND BRAKES SHUT OFF. SECONDARY SYSTEMS LIKE RADIO AND FANS WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE BUT THERE IS OTHERWISE NO POWER. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING ON AND OFF FOR TWO YEARS. DEALER AND MECHANIC BOTH COULD NOT FIND SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM; HOWEVER, AN ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD FROM DISTRIBUTOR/SPARK PLUGS THEORIZED AS THE CULPRIT. ADDING SHIELDING TO THE PCM COMPUTER CABLES AND GROUNDING IT SEEMS TO HAVE MITIGATED THE ISSUE, HOWEVER IT IS STILL SPORADIC AND HAS CAUSED NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS WITH PEDESTRIANS, MOTORISTS AND STATIONARY OBJECTS WHILE MAKING TURNS. *TR
