Consumer Description

FOR NO APPARENT REASON THE VEHICLE WILL STOP AND THE ELECTRIC CONTROLS WILL GO OFF (LIGHTS, DISPLAY INDICATORS AND SIGNALS)....CAR WILL STALL AS IF I HAVE TURNED IT OFF WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH FOR NO REASON WHILE I AM DRIVING. NO WARNING WHATSOEVER AND HAVE PLENTY OF GAS. I HAVE TO SOMETIMES STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC UNTIL I CAN REGAIN SOME CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. AND AT THAT POINT IT WILL SEEM AS THOUGH IT IS NOT FULLY FUNCTIONING BECAUSE ALL THE INDICATORS ARE DISPLAYED. (IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM)..... *TR
