Consumer Description

IN THE 18 MONTHS I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE IT HAS RANDOMLY TURNED OFF 5-6 TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY OR ON A STREET. THE ENGINE TURNS OFF (WITH NO WARNING ON THE DASH) AND YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE. I AM PICKING UP THE CAR TOMORROW FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT HAS HAD IT FOR THE PAST SIX DAYS. THEY WILL BE RELEASING ME AN UNSAFE CAR THAT I WILL NOT ALLOW MY DAUGHTER OR WIFE TO DRIVE.
