Consumer Description

I WAS ON HIGHWAY I-80 AND THE HORN STARTED GOING OFF ON ITS OWN. ENGINE STARTED TO LOSE POWER BUT THANKFULLY IT KEPT GOING AND I MADE IT HOME. WENT TO AUTO SHOP AND THEY DISCONNECTED BOTH HORNS. A WEEK LATER, AFTER I STOPPED, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND TRIED TO RESTART IT, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. HAD THE BATTERY JUMPED AND THE CAR STARTED. A WEEK LATER THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. STOPPED AT RED LIGHT ON VERY BUSY STREET AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUT DOWN. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO MECHANIC. IT STARTED. MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. TESTED THE BATTERY AND IT WAS GOOD. DROVE CAR HOME. 4 DAYS LATER CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. WAITED 15 MINUTES AND ENGINE STARTED. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE! I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL STOP. THIS VEHICLE IS HAZARDOUS AND COULD CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT!!!
