Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING ONTO AN INTERSECTION THE CAR'S ENGINE QUIETLY TURNED OFF LEAVING ME IN THE MIDDLE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL BUT NO REACTION. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR ON PARK AND TURN THE KEY OFF AND ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE CAR. THIS WORKED FOR NOW. THE CAR HAS ONLY 6664 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR ONLY 6 MONTHS. NO PENDING MAINTENANCE IS DUE FOR THIS TO HAVE HAPPENED. THERE ARE ALSO NO PENDING RECALLS DUE. SO THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND COMMON AMONG OTHERS ON THE COMPLAINT BOARD.
