Consumer Description

THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED 4 OR MORE TIMES. HOWEVER, THIS LAST TIME, I WAS TRAVELING AT 75 MILES PER HOUR ON THE I95. THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE CAR ENGINE DIED ON ME AS HAS HAPPENED ON A NUMBER OF OTHER OCCASIONS. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE ON THE HIGHWAY. LUCKY FOR ME THERE WERE NO VEHICLES BEHIND OR TO THE RIGHT OF ME SO I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A DEAD STOP ON THE SAFE SIDE OF THE ROAD SHOULDER (RIGHT). THE CAR NORMALLY WOULD START AGAIN AFTER THIS SYSTEM FAILURE. THIS TIME IT DID NOT AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST GARAGE WHICH WAS A FORD DEALERSHIP. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR LIGHT TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICE A NUMBER OF TIMES AT GM DEALERSHIPS FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON. THE ISSUE IS STILL UNRESOLVED. I NO LONGER HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE VEHICLE AS TO ITS DRIVABILITY AND SAFETY.
