Consumer Description

TRACTION CONTROL NEEDS SERVICE MESSAGE DISPLAYED, THEN THROTTLE DISABLED MESSAGE DISPLAYED SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF GOING DOWN THE ROAD. SO THEREFOR NO POWER STEERING, BRAKES ETC . ONCE PULLED ONTO SHOULDER CAR WOULD NOT CRANK. HAD TO WAIT FIVE MINUTES UNTIL THE GAUGES FLICKERED AND THEN CAR WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THIS IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS IF NOT WHERE TO PULL OFF OR BEING FOLLOWED CLOSELY. NOT TO MENTION NOT POWER STEERING ASSIST OR BRAKE ASSIST. THIS COULD VERY EASILY CAUSE A CRASH AND THERE FOR SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUED BEFORE PEOPLE ARE INJURED OR KILLED BY THIS!
