Consumer Description

FOR THE PAST 3 WEEKS THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY NOT START. IT WILL EVENTUALLY START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. IT ACTS LIKE ITS NOT GETTING FUEL ANT THE "ETC" WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. RECENTLY MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT 60 MPH AND THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLED IN THE MIDDLE LANE WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS. SHE WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO GET IT RESTARTED AND DRIVE HOME. I HAVE HAD IT AT THE MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES AND CANNOT DUPLICATE THE STARTING ISSUE OR STALE ISSUE. REPLACED RELAYS AFTER READING THAT THERE ARE KNOWN ISSUES WITH RELAY BOX DUE TO CORROSION AND PLACEMENT OF RELAYS IN WHEEL WELL BUT THIS DIDN'T HELP. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS COMPUTER / ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. I HAVE READ DOZENS OF POSTS ABOUT VERY SIMILAR ISSUE AND UNFORTUNATELY FOUND THAT THERE IS NO FIX FROM DEALERS AND NO INFORMATION ABOUT POSSIBLE CAUSES. I'M VERY CONCERNED WITH THE STALING ISSUE SINCE IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. PLEASE HELP.
