Consumer Description

ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND THE SERVICE ENGINE NOW LIGHT COME ON. I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE DOING 65MPH THIS MORNING WHEN IT CUT OUT. I WAS LUCKY TO MAKE IT INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE WITHOUT GETTING HIT. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THE ENGINE SPUTTERS LIKE IT IS ONLY RUNNING ON ONE CYLINDER. IF I SHUT IT OFF AND RESTART IT, THE SERVICE ENGINE NOW LIGHT GO OUT. THE CAR ONLY HAS 11,000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT UNLESS THE SERVICE ENGINE NOW LIGHT WAS ON, THEY CANT FIX IT. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF TWO WEEKS. I AM AFRAID I WILL GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WHEN THIS HAPPENS.
