Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING WITH OUR TWO CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES DID NOT WORK, THERE WAS NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY IT WAS A CITY SIDE ROAD AND WE WERE ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP WITHOUT HITTING ANYTHING OR GETTING REAR ENDED. NOTHING WOULD WORK ON THE VEHICLE. AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS THE ENGINE STARTED BACK UP WITHOUT HAVING THE BRAKE PRESSED OR PRESSING THE START BUTTON. MY WIFE DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO OUR HOUSE WHICH WAS ABOUT SIX BLOCKS AWAY.
